Replace the CR2032 lithium battery which is inside the computer case, on the motherboard.

Reset the CMOS time to agree with the actual time and make sure that Fedora Core has the right time zone for you.

Subject: Time synch problem



A few months ago someone caught me sending a post here at a time
ostensibly over an hour before it'd've been physically possible. Since
then I've tried to pay more attention to a little applet down on the panel
that gives date and time. (It helps to have a cheap atomic watch,
especially with hands.]

It seems like every time I think to look, the fool thing is at least
several minutes off. Right now, for instance, the watch is barely short of
4:40, and the applet says 4:48. (I last reset it only days ago.)

I know what will happen -- it never fails. I tell it to adjust; give
root's password; change the NTP server or just disable and re-enable it --
or merely highlight a server, any server, if none is already. It will then
make me wait a few seconds while it contacts the server, close, and go
back to showing the right time.

What is wrong, and how do I fix it?
