Good afternoon,
In the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic, a log file extract had these 2
lines:
1533 [ 4.022605] coyote systemd-fsck[428]: /dev/sda6: Superblock last
mount time is in the future.
1534 [ 4.022745] coyote systemd-fsck[428]: (by less than a day, probably
due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set)
One person noted
"The time problem suggests that the little pancake battery on the MB
that maintains the clock might be out of juice. I think these are 2032
style for PCs. It would be a good idea to replace it."
I responded
"I didn't know workstations nowadays had batteries. When the system is
back on its feet, I'll try to check that. It was bought in 2013."
I knew that the older motherboards had batteries. But I thought the
newer ones used something like flash (or other persistent) memory. It
did not occur to me that booting might want the date/time before the
boot process reached the point of being able to access the internet.
Two people corrected me. Someone else in the discussion said it well:
I sit corrected!
Fedora seems to have a huge number of commands. Does Fedora have a
command to report the condition of a full-sized tower motherboard
battery? If yes, what is that command?
thanks,
Bill.
