I don't at the moment use Linux but there's quite a number of search results on "linux time jump" that seem to indicate this might perhaps be something to do with the way Linux uses time?

Maybe you need to write some kind of script to restart WSJT-X at regular intervals?

I see similar behavior about every 72 hours or so on Fedora Core 41, 64-bit.

Restarting wsjtx seems to cure it for another 72 hours ..

------------------------------------------

    I have been running wspr 24/7 using the linux version of wsjtx.  After
    about two days, dt seems to increase by 6 seconds, in a single jump,
    not
    gradually.  This does not happen on Windows.

    1. The same happens on two different machines running Ubuntu and
    Mageia,v 2.61 and v 2.7.0-rc8.

    2. Computer clock is correct: checked vs. time.is <http://time.is>,
    NIST controlled
    clock, etc.  Time measured manually is within one second.

    3. Closing and reopening wsjtx immediately results in correct dt.

    4. Running wsjtx under WINE gives same result.

    5. Waterfall timing is correct and can see the six second early
    start of
    sequence.

    6. Only happens if transmit box is ticked.

    Could someone please confirm and/or suggest possible solutions?

Well, good luck Josh.  No response from anyone else. No developers either. Some of the links on the SourceForge pages are dead.  One of the SourceForge pages states that WSPR is of historical interest.
