 |
|
Every time I log into gentoo it stuffs up my system time. I dual boot with windows as well, but I have set the clock to local instead of UTC.
How can I make gentoo stop f*****g with my bios time?
Cheers. |

| Maybe go into your bios, before boot, and set it to local time there once... |

| That's easy: In /etc/conf.d/clock setand gentoo will never touch your hardware clock. |

What exactly is the problem? I dual-boot with Windows and have no problem.
In /etc/conf.d/clock
| Code: | CLOCK="local"
TIMEZONE="Europe/London"
CLOCK_OPTS=""
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" |

I checked the config and CLOCK_SYSTOHC was set to "no", so I changed it to yes and it seems to be ok now. |

Yes - that fixed it for me too - because it is Windows that is messing
with the clock, not gentoo!
