# ntpdate us.pool.ntp.org
26 Aug 22:20:51 ntpdate[7427]: no server suitable for synchronization found
What the heck is happening here? I can ping us.pool.ntp.org but it wont adjust my clock. Using ntpd doesn't help either - the sucker keep using UTC.
2)
I have a bad regression with any 2.6.35-kernel on my gateway netbook. After a very short time of booting, I lose keyboard and mouse completely. Sometimes I'm lucky and manage to log in before it happens, but I still have never managed to do a 'startx'. If I wait before logging in, then I lose it again and cant even log in.
kernel 2.6.34 works just fine.
Does any1 have any ideas about what's going on?

Please use a proper post title. You're more likely to get an answer that way (and it saves you from more criticism).

You ask for help, but you mouth off to the people who are trying to help you?

People....Keep it civil. Lets not have a war of words here.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Sorry about that. I just got a little angry.
Anyway, on to the actual questions:
1) What port do you have ntp assigned to use? I have seen occasions where you need to allow that port through your firewall to get it to work.
2) Are you using hal? What input drivers are you using?

*chuckles* I'll 2nd the apology - suffering from the same malady myself!!
So back to ntp ...
First a little 'history': I have about 3 computers at home - all 'up-to-date' and no special 'effects' (as such - ie. I have not done anything special, using default values). ntpdate _used_ to work perfectly until the above problem which started about 2-3 weeks ago. I thought it was a 'temporary' lapse, but by now it has started to annoy me. All computers at home have the same problem - and at work (where I also have about 3 arch-computers - there is no problem. The big difference - at home I have no firewall, at work I do!!! *lol*
And of course, as I am writing this, obviously (I hope) what must have happened is that my ISP has closed (or firewalled) those default ports that deal with ntp ... (from /etc/services)
Infact - I just tried it from one computer that is using mint - and the same problem there!
Conclusion - it must be my ISP - friggin' Hughes-net!!!
I guess that must be the explanation - sorry for taking yall's time with something I should've thought of myself.
So - that leaves the missing keyboard on a gateway netbook with kernel 2.6.35 while 2.6.34 is OK.
Of all my arch-computers, all of which uses 2.6.35 by now, only the netbook has this problem.

Actually, I have just used tkdiff on the two boot-sequences for the two kernels (2.6.34 and 2.6.35) (using /var/log/messages.log)
There is nothing obvious there, and any reference to the keyboard and/or mouse are exactly the same ... :-(
