Description of problem: Dual booting into FC5 test 3 and then back into OS X (10.4.5) shifts time forward by one hour despite clock time, time zone and no UTC having been set correctly in both platforms. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unknown. How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot into OS X, make sure the time is set correctly. 2. Boot into FC5 test 3 ". 3. Boot into OS X and ". Actual results: Time shifts forward by one hour. Expected results: Time remains the same Additional info:
Ok, I'm not sure where the problem might be. I would like to ask you few questions before we can get any further. Is the shift exactly one hour? Will the error keep increasing if you repeat the steps to reproduce without correcting time in OS X? Or it stays at one hour? Did you enable ntp service in FC?
Yes, exactly one hour. Error stays the same, regardless of repeated reboots between FC and OS X. Yes, I enabled ntp in FC. The time is shown correctly in FC.
Looks like the systems differ in the way the clock is stored. What happens when you set both systems to store time in UTC?
I don't see any way to do that in OS X.
Please, check your (on Fedora) /etc/sysconfig/clock. You can try to use UTC=false, so your both OS will be use localtime. For more details see "man hwclock": ... Indicates that the Hardware Clock is kept in Coordinated Universal Time or local time, respectively. It is your choice whether to keep your clock in UTC or local time, but nothing in the clock tells which you've chosen. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It means all your system should save to HW clock same time.
UTC=false ARC=false Were already set.
Brian, could you look at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2003/05/msg00242.html http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~kulkam/misc.html It looks like you will have to reset an offset that is stored in nvram.
Weird. After I accessed /etc/sysconfig/clock, I no longer have a problem. I didn't make any changes in the file at all. One other thing I did was to check the clock preferences in the panel, but I didn't make any changes there either.
