rc2 kde time jumping an hour

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I did an update from rc1 to rc2 and my system clock jumped an hour. Tried a fresh install of rc2 choosing kde and the clock also jumps an hour. Using London GB time.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the clock moving forward an hour?

Your clock may be set to UTC even if you unchecked that option during the installation. This seems to be a bug during the installation of openSUSE 12.2 RC2. Go to YaST / System / **Date and Time **and uncheck UTC and make sure you have the correct time zone. You may also want to select Change and select a NTP server to synchronize to, if you have not already done so.

Thank You,

Thanks for your suggestions. Indeed it was showing utc. Changed it to London time and moved it back an hour to the correct time but on re-starting the p/c it reverted back to an hour head again. Went for the synchronise with a NTP server option in the end. So thank you very much.

You may want to check and see what the bios clock is set to.

Thanks for posting. bios clock is fine and always has been - it is definately RC2 jumping my clock. have had no problems in this area with any previous opensuse release, milestone or rc and the ntp server link has resolved it for now.

There were earlier reports about incorrect information being stored in “/etc/adjtime”. That might be related.

I have not had a problem here. But then, I have the BIOS clock set to UTC, with some Windows registry entries adjusted so that this won’t confuse Windows too much.

Yes, indeed, you have to edit manually that file and change UTC with LOCAL. Even if the bug was
corrected, the file will not be.

Thanks for the posting.

I have altered the /etc/adjtime file to show ‘local’, removed the ntp server link and the correct GB time is now being shown.

Thanks to everyone.
