you could also try setting the hardware clock to the system time with # hwclock --systohc ----- Original Message ---- From: Dan Vratil <progdan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: General Discusson about Arch Linux <arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 5:34:17 PM Subject: [arch-general] Issue with system time Hi, in last few weeks I noticed a serious (for me) problem with my system. It simply does not update the date/time after boot up. In BIOS the time is correct, but when I boot Linux, the system time is set exactly to time when I turned it off last time. It's quite annoying to always have to set up the time manually. In rc.conf I have HARDWARECLOCK set to "localtime" and Time Zone to "Europe/Prague". I was trying to set automatic time sync in KDE System Settings, but it fails to connect to time server. I use KDE 4.2.70, so it might be bug there, but it does not bother me, the main problem is that my system refuses to update (load from BIOS?) time after boot up. Any ideas?
