[Fixed]Date / Time issue

Hey,

I have an issue with the Date/Time.
When I boot it displays the Date/Time set is wrong, and will be corrected within a minute by ntpd, but as soon as I reboot it's back to the old one...
The BIOS had a bad value, but I fixed it and it does not change when I reboot, so that part *seems* ok.

This started maybe a week ago or so (I had some power problems and had many unexpected shutdowns, maybe that's why...)

I am not sure what to do...

Info:

HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
I also have another ArchLinux install on this computer (that I rarely use, only to fix the main one), and one instance of Windows that I haven't used in a while.

If anyone has an idea that'd be great!
Thanks

Re: [Fixed]Date / Time issue

Have you set your system time to the hardware time? (see the wiki)

Re: [Fixed]Date / Time issue

I have the same problem: whenever i boot my Arch i find KDE's system clock set to a wrond time and usually to aug 3rd.
My rc.conf says

HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"

[...]

DAEMONS=(!hwclock ...)

Enabling the hwclock daemon or changing HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" or to "" doesn't fix this.

Any suggestion?

Re: [Fixed]Date / Time issue

Check the wiki for Time Skew. If that doesn't work, look up and install ntp

Re: [Fixed]Date / Time issue

I think I solved it myself before reading Inxsible's hint big_smile

I set the correct time in KDE, and verified it was correct tiping

sudo date

in the terminal.

Then I adjusted the hardware clock syncronizing it with KDE's clock

sudo hwclock --systohc

and checked the change with

sudo hwclock --show

It survived first reboot, hope it will go on this way wink
