Re: [gentoo-user] Winter clock change did not happen
Apparently, though unproven, at 11:24 on Sunday 31 October 2010, Mick did opine thusly: I dual boot with MSWindows and therefore have set up my /etc/conf.d/clock to: CLOCK=local TIMEZONE=Europe/London CLOCK_OPTS= CLOCK_SYSTOHC=no SRM=no ARC=no I noticed this morning that the clock was still showing summer time (I rarely boot into MSWindows). I had to boot into MSWindows to check what happens there and the clock was showing the new winter time. After that the Linux clock was also showing the updated winter time. Does this mean that twice a year when the clock changes I need to boot into MSWindows first to allow the time change to take place, or is there a Linux side fix for my dual boot set up? gut feel tells me windows is broken. All my calendars (electronic and dead-tree) tell me that daylight savings switches at the END of today not at the beginning -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

My Gentoo and Ubuntu boxes have switched to GMT correctly this morning, and so has the radio-synchronised clock on the kitchen wall. I think Mick does have a problem in his Gentoo setup. -- Rgds Peter. Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23.

A Gentoo only box of mine switched over to winter time correctly - so it must be my dual boot set up that is causing this problem. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Why don't you just use openntpd ( or whatever it's called)?

They work in utc time, furnishing a stable base of time. It's the os' job to convert it in local time (and winter/summer time). For example, a openntpd launched in a chinese computer (and we know certainly that chinese computers have really different times than ours !) would have the hour of London (because it work in timestamp, which is a way to print utc) ! -- Stéphane Guedon page web : http://www.22decembre.eu/ carte de visite : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.vcf clé publique gpg : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
