 |
|
Hi, everyone.
I'm from Seoul in South Korea and gentoo user.
When I installed gentoo system at first, I set timezone in GMT casually.
| Code: |
# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
|
After installing gentoo, it's no problem.
Oneday I know that system time is GMT, so I changed /etc/localtime and I get server time with rdate in time.bora.net(Korea time server).
rebooting.
| Code: |
# cp /usr/share/zoninfo/Asia/Seoul /etc/localtime
# rdate -s time.bora.net
# reboot
|
System time ain¡¯t what I used to be.
Current local time in Seoul is GMT + 9 hours.
If current local time in Seoul is Friday is August 31, 2007 at 13:00:00, my system display this.
| Code: |
# date
Fri Aug 31 22:00:00 KST 2007
#
|
System time is 9 hours faster than current local time in Seoul.
This is my system info.
| Code: |
# hwclock -r
Fri Aug 31 13:00:00 2007 -0.272763 seconds
# date
Fri Aug 31 22:00:00 KST 2007
# cat /etc/conf.d/clock
CLOCK="local"
TIMEZONE="Asia/Seoul"
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no"
SRM="no"
ARC="no"
|
Thank you.

Try changing CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no" to = "yes".
This will set the hardware clock to localtime during shutdown. You may also want to look into ntp, which will sync your clock with an online server every boot.

Hope that helps.

Also, check the contents of /etc/adjtime. It is possible that hwclock remembers that you were once set to UTC.
What do you get if you do | Code: | | # hwclock --localtime |
Unrelated to your problem, but it is probably better to make /etc/localtime a symlink instead of copying - this way if the timezone data gets updated you will not need to do anything more.
| Code: | # rm /etc/localtime
# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Seoul /etc/localtime |

I found that most of what's written in that wiki page didnt' apply to me.
All I did was
| Code: | # emerge -av ntp
# nano /etc/ntp.conf #added 'server <my_preferred_server>' to the bottom
# rc-update add ntpd default
# /etc/init.d/ntpd start
|
You might need to do more than just this because of your unique circumstances. That's where the wiki will come in handy. Let us know if you need more help.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Other Things Gentoo.
not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.
