WarrrenC said "I am getting this on the Apple powerbook G3 pre wall street. It's running without a battery and sometimes after it's been off for a while it's date is reset to sometime in 1938."
Just ran my battery flat on a PowerBook G4. Applied AC and booted. Got the same messages as WarrenC. The hardware clock said the date was in 1904, which suggests two things: (1) these machines have no independent battery for the hardware clock and (2) the hardware clock can hold values earlier than the system clock. The system clock contains some date in the future, not 1970-01-01 00:00:00 as might be expected. So there's a bug in hwclock (although this will need a command line flag to fix). That bizaare date throws bonobo-activation-server. It would be well worth someone's time to inspect the b-a-s code looking for date handling and its edge cases. LTSP people having difficulties might want to check the system time and perhaps use ntpdate as a ifup script. -- bonobo-activation-server doesn't exit after logout, prevents panel applets from running on new login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
