 Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 4:11 pm Post subject: System Clock is Innacurate |
 |
|
Just something that I've noticed, about ever 3 hours, my system clock ends up being an extra 1/2 hour ahead. I was wondering what c ould be causeing this and how to fix it. I dual boot with windows, and the windows does not have this same problem, so I think I can rule out hardware. I'm using the 2.6.11-nitro2 kernel. Thx

| Do you have any ntp setup? If not, you can search these forums and find many ntp howto's. |

| I'll be setting up ntp tp correct this issue, but I just wanted to mention that I have almost the same issue. The hardware seems fine but the linux clock is running way too fast I'm about 4 hours ahead in the past 5 days. It feels like a bug. |

rdate -s -u 164.67.62.194
you can make it a cron job or start at boot
also make sure your bios battery is still outputing power

Happened to me also when I moved from 2.6.10 to .11.
If I remember correctly, the fix: | Code: | make sure /etc/localtime points to right file in /usr/share/zoneinfo
$ rm /etc/adjtime
$ ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
$ hwclock --systohc |

Running ntp is really overkill for what you're doing. Rdate on cron should be enough.
