Description Jörg von Frantzius 2008-05-05 13:02:51 UTC

After every reboot, the system time is set to two hours into the future. Correcting it using Yast will last only until next reboot, after which it is again incorrect.

This is on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pi 1556 notebook, dualboot openSuse 11 x86 / WinXP.

Comment 1 Stefan Hundhammer 2008-05-05 13:30:23 UTC

This sounds a lot like "hardware clock running on UTC" set wrong.
Please check /etc/sysconfig/clock. There should be an entry like this:

# Set to "-u" if your system clock is set to UTC, and to "--localtime"
# if your clock runs that way.
#
HWCLOCK="-u"



For a Windows dual boot system, the "--localtime" setting makes most sense.
I suspect you used "-u" during installation, and that is giving you trouble.


Please reopen if you are sure the bug was somewhere else.

Comment 3 Jörg von Frantzius 2008-05-05 19:45:45 UTC

My /etc/sysconfig/clock says

HWCLOCK="--localtime"

and I'm still seeing the issue although bug#384254 is closed and its fix supposedly is in factory, if I understood things right.

I'm on latest factory, at least "zypper dup" won't do anything currently.

it's reopened :)
