From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; HP-UX B.10.20 9000/778) Description of problem: Dell laptops allow the user to enter the BIOS at anytime (Fn-F1). If the user enters the BIOS while linux is running , returns and and runs dataconfig, dataconfig resets the time by adding the timezone offset to the current time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.On a DELL laptop boot linux 2.Press Fn-F1 to enter the BIOS, 3.Press ESC to return to linux 4.Run dataconfig Actual Results: Time has been increment by the timezone offset; e.g., if the timezone is EDT the time has been decrement by 4 hours. Expected Results: Time should be left alone Additional info:
Do things work correctly if you just run dateconfig without going into the bios?
dateconfig works as expected if the BIOS is NOT entered
I think that this is a rather uncommon situation and therefore not worthy of investing time in. That's not to say that something better couldn't be done but there are much more important issues to tend to. Closing as 'wontfix'.
