Re: Arch linux time and date weirdness

I've got a hard drive with windows on it and time seems to work just fine on that.  I'm not dual-booting it, so it's completely separate from the arch hard drive.

Re: Arch linux time and date weirdness

Dual-booting has nothing to do with what HD the operating systems are on. It just means that you are booting more than one operating system on a machine.

And if you are, using "localtime" can save you some trouble, since eg windows asumes that you are, unless you tell it otherwise.

Re: Arch linux time and date weirdness

time works inside Windows and Fedora, but Arch has trouble with it.  So I doubt its the CMOS battery.  I doubt its a hardware problem at all.  I switched rc.conf back to localtime, but that did nothing.  Like I said, after I set the bios time to a period ahead of the previous boot time, I can boot into arch just fine, and Arch will display time correctly as well, so the only area where the problem persists is in the recording of time of boot.  If superblock will just kinda forget that I booted my computer up on December 1st 2013m then I can solve this issue.
