Hello Everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
I am facing a very annoying problem with my system clock. Here is what is |
4 |
happening. |
5 |
|
6 |
I manually set correct time using sites like worldtimezone.com. Then, I |
7 |
shutdown the system and boot after a few hours. What I see is that Gentoo |
8 |
sets the system time to the same one at which I halted it. For example if I |
9 |
shutdown 4 hours ago at 14:00 hrs and boot at 18:00 hrs, it will still set |
10 |
the time to 14:00 hrs instead of the correct time. |
11 |
|
12 |
The CMOS battery is fine. I can say this because if I enter the BIOS (after 4 |
13 |
hours reboot) it shows the correct time. I start a Live CD, it shows the |
14 |
correct time as well, but when I start Gentoo it sets the wrong system time |
15 |
or as mentioned in example: "4 hours back". It writes the time it was |
16 |
shutdown on, over the BIOS Clock instead of reading from it. How can I solve |
17 |
it? How can I force Gentoo to read from the BIOS Clock at the time of boot, |
18 |
instead of writing it. If it helps, here is my /etc/conf.d/clock. |
