From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Gnome clock applet going more than twice as fast as it should. Connecting to time servers works correctly and sets clock to correct time, but within a minute the time is wrong (seconds progress at 2+ per actual second) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.6.0-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in to gnome 2. 3. Actual Results: clock performed as described above Expected Results: clock keeps time Additional info:
Appears to be a problem with the latest kernel, as when I rebooted into a previous kernel, the clock kept proper time (I had tried rebooting with the most recent kernel first). Clock runs fast with: kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.441 Clock works with: kernel-smp-2.6.6-1.427 arts was also crashing randomly ... not sure if it's related.
Apologies that this got ignored, I'll assume the problem has gone away and close the bug. Please re-open if you still see it
