Ubuntu :: BIOS Clock Running Fast
Dec 18, 2010I have a Dell OptiPlex GX1 (CPU: Pentium II, 500Mhz). It's very old, and a while ago I installed an old version of Ubuntu on it. While it is switched on and booted up, everything is fine, however the trouble is when it is switched off, or just in BIOS.
The BIOS clock appears to be running at about 60x speed (eg minutes like seconds, hours like minutes). This happens both when switched off and when observing the clock from the BIOS menu. I really don't know what to do about this, and it's causing alot of problems, I've even had it get to the point where the system clock reset itself and would not recognise the OS as valid.
Ubuntu :: Need To Make System Stop Updating BIOS Clock To UTC Time
Jan 22, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit installed on my flash drive so wherever I go I can have my own mini personal computer, but one problem I'm having is every computer it is run on the next time it's rebooted to the OS on the hard drive it has UTC time instead of the actual time for the timezone you're in that Windows uses. So is their a way I can make Ubuntu not automatically change the clock to what it wants?

May 27, 2011I'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

Sep 2, 2011I 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Why The Possibility Of Installation Was Removed From 10.4
May 8, 2010I have never ever have a single installation issue with ubuntu (been using it for years and years, and before I used other distributions for years).Now I want to install Ubuntu 10.4 alongside Windows 7. I don't have any other demands or wishes, just for it to install. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. The installer is always stopping at a "no root file system is defined". When I go to gparted in the liveCD version it shows my entire drive as free, unallocated space (although there are at least 3 partitions, one of them with working windows 7).The LiveCD sees the partitions all righ, I can access the windows partitions without any problem. Fdisk -l also shows my partitions properly. Gparted, however, for some reason doesn't recognize them.
I have only two options:
1) use whole drive (which would erase my windows 7 - no, no)
2) set up manually (which says all my 250gb drive is unallocated space). No other choices.
And generally the installer of ubuntu says "This computer has no operating systems on it."
Installing through wubi doesn't work as well. After restart it wants to install but reaches sth like 257% on "getting time from server" and says there's no root filesystem. So it's all basically about ubuntu not wanting to acknowledge the simple fact that there are already partitions and OS's on my drive...
OpenSUSE :: Any Possibility To Split Dolphin Horizontally
Aug 6, 2010I might become a new kde4 user within a few weeks since I am testing suse 11.3 and kde4 seems to be, at last, stable enough to be used daily. But, there is one thing that is annoying : I used to split horizontally and vertically ad lib the konqueror file manager to drag and drop any file from a directory to another and have a global view of many directories simultaneously. That great feature doesn't seem to be available in dolphin, which is a good and performant file manager that I'd like to adopt. Any clue to split horizontally dolphin? Plugin? Script? Repository?

Jun 3, 2011Being rather new to using Ubuntu on my personal system, I was reading about conky today. Sadly, I can't currently connect my netbook to my workplace network, and won't be able to use it on the 'net until I get back on land. That being the case, I can't just do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install conky
I was curious if there is any way to get conky on my machine... either by downloading it on another machine and installing via USB, or some other way. Or if I'm pretty much out of luck until I can get online with it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Any Possibility To Turn Hardware Acceleration On
Jul 23, 2011After I installed the system (Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit), I wanted to turn the owner driver (nvidia-current) on in order to gain hardware graphics acceleration, among others 3D acceleration.When I installed this driver and restarted the computer, it appeared that the error message shows up: Code:(EE) No devices detected.No screens found.If I want to have any window based environment at all, I have to go back to the previous settings, without this driver.
The only solution I found so far on the Internet tells to turn this driver off at all, what means no 3D acceleration.Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? Is there any possibility to turn hardware acceleration on for this card on Ubuntu?

Ubuntu :: User Possibility To Install 'untrusted Packages' With Button
Jan 6, 2011i am a relativelly new user of ubuntu, i have a ubuntu 9 ( i think) on a aone.i am not in the fan club of last updaters, if it works, it's ok.when i try to install (from software center) some softwares, it gives me an error, untrusted packages.i feel it is something like an abuse, at least, bring to the user the possibility to install "untrusted packages" with a button. AT LEAST!because i think it is not normal to don't be able o install blender, remember ubuntu is a linux, then blender should work on.i tested to install many mounth ago, when i i stalled the last version (9.xxx), and it did the same, then i think it is not an update problem at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Clock Correction In GNU - Crontab?
Oct 20, 2010My laptop's clock (Acer Extensa 5220) seems to be slow. I've corrected it 5 minutes forward last week and now have just corrected minute forward again. Is there a program [apart from time servers] to correct clock properly, for example, by shifting it a bit every hour? Is there already a program to put it to crontab or I should hack up a script? Or I should check more things?
I have found that HW clock is right, but system time is slow: about a second each 2.1 hours.
root@vi-notebook:~# dmesg | egrep 'clock|unstable'
[ 0.103785] Switching to clocksource tsc
[ 0.265274] Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle
[ 0.265514] Switching to clocksource acpi_pm
[ 1.321408] rtc_cmos 00:09: setting system clock to 2010-10-30 00:10:48 UTC (1288397448)
Is placing "hwlock --hctosys" to crontab a right thing?
General :: Set Windows To Use System Clock As UTC?
Jan 28, 2011While dual-booting Windows and Linux, Linux sets the system time to UTC, so Windows thinks it's midnight near mid-morning. Is there any other way to tell Windows to use UTC? I've seen the registry tweak proposed here and other places. This does not work on my computer (Windows 7 32-bit).For reference, the registry entry is this:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTimeZoneInformation]"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
