 Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2005 1:33 pm Post subject: System clock? [solved] |
 |
|
Hm it's not a majoy issue that i'm bothering you with, it's just the following:
My system clock is about 5 minutes after "real time", so i set it to the right time by running (as root)
| Code: |
netdate -v time.fu-berlin.de
|
Everything working correctly until this point, but when i restart, the clock is set back to the wrong time. So my question is: how do i get Gentoo to save the time to the onboard-clock? It's just enerving setting the correct date/time after every restart..
thanks folks

Have a look at ntp...sets the time by typing
| Code: | | ntpdate pool.ntp.org |
or you can let it check and correct your time at startup ( by adding to default runlevel ).
Works quite nice here...

The "clock" init script should automatically save and restore the system clock to the hardware clock at each shutdown/boot.
Make sure you have /sbin/hwclock (from sys-apps/util-linux) installed and working.
"hwclock --systohc" and "hwclock --hctosys" can be used to do this manually.

| Also keep an eye on /etc/adjtime and the --noadjfile option of hwclock. |

Well, hwclock is in the sys-apps/util-linux ebuild.
I've had similar issues, but I set the time locally, instead of using a server. But anyway, try setting the clock to the correct time like you usually do. Remove the file /etc/adjtime. Then, run , which should set the hardware clock to the current system time. When you reboot, hopefully your system time will be correct.
You don't need to have /etc/init.d/clock sync the hardware clock to the system time upon shutdown, only during boot. The /etc/adjtime file is supposed to make adjustments for hardware clock time drift. But if it's misconfigured, it will incorrectly set your system time when gentoo boots. |
