 |
|
Hi,
I made a mistake while installing gentoo and copied | Code: | | /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT to /etc/localetime |
.
I corrected it and now I get the following:
| Code: | with "date"
Sat Apr 12 16:20:50 CEST 2008
|
<- this is the right version.
with
| Code: |
"uname -a"
[...] Fri Apr 11 18:18:55 GMT 2008 i686 Intel(R) [..] |
.<- wrong version.
kde also shows the right system time, it's not that annoying because I don't see it very often, but
I fear that some installations or updates will make problems in the future...
any suggestions ?
cheers

| The output from uname -a tells when the kernel was built, not what time it is now. If it really bothers you, you need to rebuild the kernel so that the build picks up the right timezone information. As far as I know, that message is purely informative, so there is no harm to ignoring it. It will be fixed when you next upgrade the kernel. |

That is the kernel version. same as
uname -v
not the current date, if I understand correctly
man uname
