[SOLVED] Wrong time after reboot

Slurp · 2010-09-03 17:43:21

Hi, i hope you'll enjoy my english.

1. I'm lately experiencing this problem, but cannot remember when did it exactly start. The thing is no matter whether i have UTC or localtime set in rc.conf, when i reboot time and sometimes date is wrong, always in the past to be more exact. When mounting the file system i can see a message where it says something about solving a "timestamp in the future" or something like that.

2. I'm using a laptop without battery and i've reproduced the problem both remaining connected and disconnected from the AC when powered off.

3. I'm using KDE 4.5 without the pool.ntp.org thing because it doesn't work.

4. I have Win7 installed but i haven't used it since a few weeks.

5. I'm not using openntp or similar.

With these symptoms what do you think it could be? I've thought about the internal-clock-battery, but it happens also when i'm connected... not sure whether that eliminates that possibility.

Thanks.

If you also have Windows on the same computer, use localtime.
I don't know how KDE keeps track of time, but you can start by removing /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime. Don't worry, it won't break anything.
