 |
|
Hello,
I have a problem with ntp and the time on my machine.
It seems that each time I switch off my PC the clock
does not tick until I switch it on again. When it is
switched on again ntpd gives up because it finds
8 hours is too much a difference.
If I first set the time manually to a more correct time ntp seems to be synchronising just fine.(And indeed makes a minor corection).
I must be doing something very stupid, so if someone can help me make this work properly I would sure be glad.
Thanx,
Dries

Is your CMOS battery dead?

Nope,
In (dual boot) windows  there is no problem.
In gentoo Linux it seems like the time is saved to disk during shutdown and picked up again during start up (don't
know if that is actually the case but that's what it looks like,sure does sound silly)

Is your hardware clock set to the system time or the local time? You need to sync. gentoo's settings to that.

Check the /etc/rc.conf file. Look for a CLOCK= line. It should be set to CLOCK="local"
for dual-booting with Windows.

Does removing /etc/adjtime make any difference?

I have checked the things you have suggested and I already
had clock set LOCAL.
Removing /etc/adjtime did do the trick.
Ntp (and more important) the time on my PC is now correct.
Maybe the adjtime was created a few weeks ago when clock was
still UTC
Thanx all,
Dries
