I have a bunch of spreadsheets, browser tabs, etc, open all the time, |
| 2 |
scattered over various work areas. Rather than re-open them every day, |
| 3 |
I simply hibernate, using suspend-to-disk. This way, things are where I |
| 4 |
left them. |

The past couple of months, when the machine comes up from hibernation, |
| 7 |
the clock is a few hours ahead. Now it's 4 hours ahead. It was 5 hours |
| 8 |
ahead before the switch to daylight savings time. This looks |
| 9 |
suspiciously like GMT. GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST, and 4 hours ahead |
| 10 |
of EDT. |

I dug deeper. Apparently, it's just the "kernel system time" that |
| 13 |
gets bumped forward when it wakes up from hibernation. The BIOS clock |
| 14 |
is OK. As a heavy-handed hack, I've inserted the line... |

OnResume 01 hwclock --hctosys |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
...into my /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf. This copies over the BIOS |
| 19 |
time to the kernel system date. It works, but I'd really like to know |
| 20 |
why it's necessary in the first place. |
