[gentoo-user] Date and time reset randomly.
Hello gentoo peoples ;) I have a little problem on my laptop. Everything is fine, except the fact that sometimes, the date and time reset to the 01/01/2000 . Consequently, on reboot, the boot process warn me that there are many files wich have modification dates in the future That happens randomly, in something like every 15 reboots ... I have then to reconfigure my dates So, does anyone knows where is that problem coming from ? It is of course not very important , but I would be happy to fix it .. Thanks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

In this case the system clock stops running when there is no or too less voltage and resets on boot to 0. It is of course not very important , but I would be happy to fix it .. Just check your bios/rtc - battery. -- Michael Gisbers http://www.lugor.de signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Have you checked your BIOS battery? It may sound a bit silly, but that's the tipical effect of a BIOS battery run out...

Re: [gentoo-user] Date and time reset randomly.
Hello Bernard and Co :) Are you using dual boot with another OS ? In that case, maybe you're using your other OS every 15 boots and maybe it has a wrong datetime and sets it to the hardware at every shutdown. Thus while you are rebooting on your Gentoo the hardware clock is wrong. Check your /etc/conf.d/clock if you have authorized gentoo to set your time to your hardware at every shutdown so your other OS reads it well : CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes Else other folks' proposition may be right about your BIOS Battery. It is always good to be on time hehe ;-) Hope this helps, Bernard Van de Walle wrote: Hello gentoo peoples ;) I have a little problem on my laptop.
