'messed up' in not a clear and definitive term to use when you want help for a tech support list. key word here is 'tech' = 'technical'. messed up is not technical. technical is; time is of by xx hours. date is of by xx days. month is of by xx months. years are of by xx years. or; clock resets to 00:00:00 01/01/1950, or what ever. a technical way to trouble shoot problem; power system down to full power off. if a switch in back of case, turn off *after* power down. wait 3 to 5 minutes, turn power back on. bring system back up, during bios startup, press <delete> key to enter bios, note time. if ok, press <f10> to continue boot. **note** if correct, cmos battery cell _may_be_ ok. if battery cell is more than 2 years old, battery cell _should_ be replaced. if time is incorrect, fully power down system, replace battery cell. power system back up, <delete> at bios check, set correct time and date. press <f10> key to save and continue. you really do not need to use 'ntp', but if you do it needs to be set up. to find all related to 'ntp', run 'locate ntp|grep doc' and run 'locate ntp|grep man'. this will give you all of information you will need to correctly set up 'ntp'. leave of '|grep' to see all of what is involved with 'ntp'. also, run 'locate adjtime' for additional time setting info. time correction is done as 'root' user. hth. - -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIk5gD+C4Bj9Rkw/wRAlOgAKDRIT6JuRFcyBBO/LFjNlZ1zMrChwCgyffG sYlNDepRTlc66O4ahIdQviU= =XIkB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
