 |
|
Good day all,
Since Daylights Savings Time took place in my country, the clock on my computer has stopped keeping time properly. It is constantly late by a number of minutes (originally 15, now 30). I've tried to manually set the time, but the moment I reboot, or even restart the clock service, my clock falls back by half an hour.
I've also tried to install NTP and sync to various servers, but no go.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

| I seem to have the same thing here. The clock seems to have been wandering off lately, even though I do have CLOCK="local" in my rc.conf. |

| Try setting the time, then removing the file /etc/adjtime, this fixes it for me. |

Thanks!
That seems to have worked for me! After looking at the content of adjtime, it seems that the first number is some kind of offset but I can't make sense of it. After deleting adjtime, and restarting the clock service, the file was recreated, and the first number returned to 0, so I guess that was the culprit!

| Deleting /etc/adjtime did it for me too. Why must this be done? Anyone know? File corruption? Bug? |
