Hmph. I remember that I synched the clock here, on my Inspiron,
with a local time server at about midnight yesterday. After leaving the
computer in suspend (and possibly timing out to standby mode) all day, I
come back and check the time before and after a synch. It goes like this.
January 4, approx. 11:30 synched clock--not sure how off
sat all day in standby/suspend
January 5, approx. 12:00 synched clock--30 minutes slow
Now, I can understand that if the non-hardware clock is calculated based
on the bogomips tested at boot, and the processor slows down, you are
going to have a slow clock. I can't imagine that would be the way the
system time is kept though. I also can't imagine the clock just naturally
being that far off. That would be more than 1 second of skew per minute.
Is this a common thing? Anyone find a cure besides just timeservers
(which isn't bad, but I'm not on a 24 hour connection)?
