 Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2004 6:08 am Post subject: Huge Time Shift.... |
 |
|
I've seen a few posts mentioning issues with time shift, while the majority don't mention how much of a time shift I get the impression were talking about maybe a minute or two. I have had a continuing issue with the time on my laptop changing anywhere from 10-60 minutes, not over time, but when I shut down, bring it home, and turn it back on. I've even tried all the suggestions from the other posts, such as removing and recreating /etc/adjtime... Anyone have any suggestions on this one? It seem to come about the time I started working with the 2.6 kernel, as this was not an issue when I first started working with gentoo...

Simply change the battery of the mainboard in your laptop. That solves the problem for me.

You can also run rdate on startup to synchronise your laptop with a timeserver.
You need an internet connection for this. |

Running rdate isn't the issue, it's the fact that I have to run it every time I boot because I'm off anywhere from 20-60 minutes each time I reboot my laptop. RDate is great and special if I have a network connection, but with my laptop I don't always have that ability... I want to know why I have this huge a shift in the first place and fix it...
& I doubt it's the battery as it doesn't do this when I have to boot into Windows instead...

You could check your bios-clock. Maybe that's it 
Is your /etc/localtime set correct? |

.
The weird part is... when I have to use Windows for work... I don't have this problem... What does kind of lead more towards hardware though is the shift only occurs after a reboot, not while it's running. The longer I have the system off... the bigger the shift. I had my laptop off this whole weekend and currently it's reporting 22:41 (when it's really 14:46).
hmmmm...
