clock wrong after suspend
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:23:23 EDT
After returning from a system sleep on my laptop, the system time is incorrect. The problem occurred after I ran the program to upgrade RH6.2 to 7.1. In 6.2, the clock was correct after suspend
Is the UTC={true,false} setting in /etc/sysconfig/clock correct?
It's set to false. But isn't true also a correct answer?
I looked into this a bit more: UTC is set to false. This seems to be correct, because hwclock gives this answer: /sbin/hwclock Tue 11 Sep 2001 08:40:40 AM PDT 0.348267 seconds In any case, the problem does not seem to be the hardware clock. If I suspend and then unsuspend, and then look and the hardware clock again, it is still correct. However, the date command shows that the system time is wrong. For example: date -s 08:40 Tue Sep 11 08:40:00 PDT 2001 /sbin/hwclock --systohc /sbin/hwclock Tue 11 Sep 2001 08:40:40 AM PDT 0.348267 seconds <suspend> <unsuspend> /sbin/hwclock Tue 11 Sep 2001 08:41:56 AM PDT 0.617520 seconds date Tue Sep 11 01:42:02 PDT 2001 Do you need me to run any other tests?
