time change

English Hardware
#1

I can’t convince my computer that there has been a time change. I have reset my time about 5 times. The time will remain until the next boot, then it will be an hour behind again.

What am I not doing right?

Hi
Have you checked the system BIOS time is correct?

In the date/time management in Yast - System, set it to use NTP. This will get the time from timeservers on the internet, hence display the correct time always.

You did not even tell what you did to “convince my computer that there has been a time change.”
How can then we know if you did it wrong?

As of the moment my time is correct and holding. My bios was behind one hour. I will let ya know of any change.

That is usually my first choice of keeping time. But for unknown reasons it wasn’t working.

Run all this in a terminal and post it all here:


su -
hwclock --debug
date
grep -i HWCLOCK /etc/sysconfig/clock
cat /etc/adjtime

If the time displayed there does not match the desktop clock, say it too.

Please use code tags for those printouts. Advanced editor, ‘#’ button.
