Fedora :: Since RHL9 - Clock - Error "hwclock Couldn't Be Set"
Nov 24, 2009
I really had to boot into Vista the other day for a work-related task on my laptop and contrary to what it always does (sitting there spinning the disk) it had to twiddle with the system's Clock, and now my time in Linux is all foobared. I'm not sure at what point did Vista installed an update which forced the darned OS to sync the system clock (when I explicitly had disabled it!), which of course has caused this "issue". The real problem I'm currently having is that there is no way I can set the clock in Linux and this change to stick!
I always get a darned error that the hwclock couldn't be set. Also (and if memory serves me right from the RHL9 days) I don't seem to be able to disable UTC in the system-config-date, it is always appears as enabled. In previous releases when things like these happened, all I had to do was set the time, disable UTC and all would be fine again, not this time around.

create a VM here with virsh. I've managed to create the XML file and got it to work properly, however running it is the problem.

I'm playing with Fedora 12 and can't get GRUB to work. To boot, I've been using GRUB4DOS. While that works fine, I'd like to figure out what's wrong with regular GRUB 0.97. After the initial installation, GRUB came up on reboot, but it was broken -- it couldn't read the config file apparently, and no commands would work correctly. So I attempted to reinstall grub via the grub prompt. No matter what I do, or which hard disk I install GRUB on, I get "Error 18". I tried using the "grub-install" command as well as the prompt, and that did the same thing.
My system here is an ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO mo/bo. I've got four hard drives. Two 1TB SATA drives and a couple of PATA drives (300 and 500GB) on a Si608 controller card. Using the BIOS "BBS" boot menu, I can boot NTLDR and BOOTMGR off active partitions on any of the drives (with proper Boot.ini modifications to handle the change in drive order). GRUB4DOS works as well, and will boot Fedora 12 correctly off any of them (with proper menu.lst ministrations). But GRUB 0.97 that comes with Fedora just refuses to do anything other than say "Error 18".

I switched back to Fedora after a long time and wow a lot of things have changed! Fedora 12 is looking amazing and the best part is I could install it on my USB so easily. And then I found I couldnt open any PDF files on Fedora - I tried installing AdobeReader, xpdf and openoffice. All of them are just throwing some file format errors.... <I cant push a screenshot now since i removed the packages>
Initally i thought it might be some version conflict but it turned out I couldnt open any pdf's including docs from 5 years back to docs with embedded media content. I know I havent put any info here. I am looking for a little info on what is needed to get Acrobat/Xpdf working in Fedora 12... And I couldn't get any errors logged so I'd like a little help there if I need to share some debug messages...
that gave these messages [root@localhost Presentations]# evince module-development.mgp.pdf
** (evince:5768): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

I'm trying to install Fedora 3 Core on an old hard drive I had lying around. The problem I'm having is that when I go to manually repartition the hard drive with Disk Druid I get this error: Could not allocate requested partitions: Partitioninf Failed: Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. I can't view the contents of the hard drive to delete stuff.

I have the following problem: I installed 11.2 on a laptop with the hardware clock said to run on local time (CE(S)T), expecting to do a dual-boot Windows setup later. That plan got scrapped, and the to-DST switchover lately failed, so I'd like to switch the hwclock to UTC.
By now, I have (coming to work at 08:53 CEST = 06:53 UTC today):
# grep '^[^#]' /etc/sysconfig/clock
HWCLOCK="-u"
SYSTOHC="yes"
[code]....
YaST2 shows checkmark for "Hardware Clock set to UTC"
- but nonetheless, when I logged in, the OS time shown was *06*:something "local" (digital panel clock) / "CEST" ('date' command), and 'last' says:
reboot system boot 2.6.31.12-0.2-de Thu Apr 29 06:54 (02:49)
(For the moment, I run ntpd to fix the issue, but I'm lucky to currently *have* network every day.) What am I missing to have the OS clock be initialized *correctly* on bootup?

My latest issue seems to be with Yum; more specifically, I don't think it can contact the main "updates" server to see if there's any actual updates available. When I try, I get this:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# yum update

System time was drifting ahead increasingly for several days time in the end. This is what I did with the clock about 6 hours "in the future":
Quote:
sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org
hwclock --systohc
i.e. I got the (more or less) exact time from the time server and set the hardware / BIOS timer with this value.I renamed "/etc/adjtime" to beginn with a clean slate. During reboot (shut down phase) I noticed a message saying something like: "hwclock set to system time". I checked in the BIOS and there was a new time about one hour early(!). The boot phase then reset the time again, this time several hours forward (usually two to six hours). This is an iterating process, with a net gain of several hours per boot. It is not always whole hours -- like in a time zone error but it involves also minutes. System is set to UTC as affirmed by the "date" command. What could be the cause of this behaviour of the clock / timer?

I'm using a very simple conky script to diplay the date and time on my desktop. I've noticed that he conky clock is a few seconds early compared to the time displayed in the right hand side of the top panel (Natty). I guess both displays are based on the same "internal" time, so I'm left wondering how this could happen, and how to sync back the clocks.
It seems that Conky is in sync with the system date, while the panel clock is 2 seconds late (on my system). Checked with while true; do date; sleep 0.1; done

Whenever I run glxgears or glxinfo from an ssh or vnc session, I get "Error: couldn't get an RGB, double-buffered visual". I can run glx stuff fine on the console under KDE, but that's not practical for the intended users. I've tried updating drivers (it's a Dell R610 w/ Matrox G200ew videa), firmware, rpms, etc., even running ssh with -X or -Y, but to no avail.

I noticed after upgrading my Dell D820 from 11.3 x 64 to 11.4 x64 that splashy seems to crash while trying to render the theme (while hibernating). Running a splashy test returns the same error: "Splashy ERROR: Couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -10". Using the default theme instead or re-installing splashy does not make any difference.

I had cloned a centos 5.6 installation from virtualbox virtual machine to physical box. Everything work fine. However, the time showing in os using date command differs from bios time by roughly 4 hours. I am running ntp services which sync the time with another centos server on the network. It appears that some services are using virtual clock and some use physical clock. How do I get rid of virtual clock and only use physical clock?
