General :: Automatic Conversion To Daylight Saving Time
May 3, 2011
What should I have to do if I want to back again to the previous conf of automatic Conversion to Daylight saving. Also I noted that the o/p of the zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo | grep 2011 was
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo Thu Apr 28 21:59:59 2011 UTC = Thu Apr 28 23:59:59 2011 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo Thu Apr 28 22:00:00 2011 UTC = Fri Apr 29 01:00:00 2011 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo Sat Aug 20 20:59:59 2011 UTC = Sat Aug 20 23:59:59 2011 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo Sat Aug 20 21:00:00 2011 UTC = Sat Aug 20 23:00:00 2011 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
and changed to be
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo -9223372036854689408 = NULL
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo 9223372036854689407 = NULL
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo 9223372036854775807 = NULL
After adding the new rule
Note : these are the I made to disable auto conversion to daylight saving. I created a text file named nodst at usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa
Then type the following:
#Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
Rule egypt 2011 2013 - Apr 29 00:00 0 s
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Africa/Cairo +2:00 egypt BRE%s
Then issue the following command
zic nodst
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Cairo /etc/localtime
I recently updated my Lucid to Maverick. I am running ubuntu on Lenovo Thinkpad w500. I am facing problems with day light savings. I changed couple times to reflect the correct time. Inspite of my correction, it is still displaying wrong time. Attached is the image of my error.
My RHEL5 server is sync with NTP server. But we dont want to follow Day light saving. Is there any option to disable it. Like in windows you can uncheck the option if you dont want to follow day light saving.?
I seem to have run into the bug where my system was suspended when the DST change occurred (Not off so it didn't do it on reboot, not on so it couldn't do it then). I can't seem to find any way to do it manually. Is there any?
you can refer to this ubuntu thread for context, but i'll sum up what i'm trying to do here to spare the reading. basically i want to be able to schedule a filesystem check with automatic repairs at the next boot time. but i'm not sure if this will try to automatically fix errors which is what i want to do. the reason i want to do this is because i experienced a power outage (the machine was not plugged into an UPS) and i want to make sure everything is ok.
After an automatic update from Debian I get the following error while starting a root terminal: An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-terminal. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. Failed to contact configuration server: the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-bus session bus daemon.
I am running ubuntu 9.10 and was wondering how to disable write access in python. I want to stop .pyc extensions from saving every time I run a .py file.
I need a download manager that automatic start download at 2 a.m and stop in 8 a.m . I test many app such as fatrat d4x .... but can not find app like idm in linux.
I'm timing how long it takes to run a command foo. I'm looking to append the results from the time command to a file, and discard the results from the foo command. I tried the following, but it didn't do what I want:
$ time ./foo > /dev/null >> output_from_time_command.txt
It is known and well described in C++ standard ('C++ Standard - ANSI ISO IEC 14882 2003.pdf') that under certain circumstances types are promoted - for example, 'int' is promoted to 'double'.My design goal is to create wrappers around standard scalar types (like 'double', 'float', 'long', etc.) that would prevent such conversions/promotions, i.e. I want to create a really strictly typed C++ environment (like, say, OCaml).
However, the promotion is caught at runtime.Is there a way in C++ to catch/block such promotions/conversion at compile time ?
How can I change the automatic fsck execution at boot time to be above 30 boots? I reboot the system sometimes 3 to 4 times a day. Intel 3 GHz, tower, i386 lenny vmlinuz-2.6.31-686
I recently set up some new cron jobs under Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (all the latest patches as of Nov. 11th) and just happened to check right after one was supposed to run and it hadn't run yet. Checking the logs I found the previous cron job ran exactly one hour later than it was supposed to. Is there something going on with Ubuntu 10.04, cron, and daylight savings where cron pretends daylight savings never happened or something?
My system was powered down at daylight savings changeover. Like many Linux users, I keep my RTC on local time so that I can still boot XP on the odd occasion. With my older Linux distros, ntpd would correct the system time during the next boot, and the altered system time would be copied to the RTC on shutdown (by hwclock). This no longer seems to happen. During boot, ntpd corrects the system-time, and the users sees the right time, but the corrected time is never copied to the RTC. The issue only becomes a problem if the system is booted without access to any ntp servers - in which case the system time is visible uncorrected.
I was under the impression that the kernel's 11-minute save-RTC mode should preserved any NTP corrected system-time to the RTC. And failing that, a shutdown triggered hwclock --systohc should have also corrected the RTC. How come neither work for openSUSE (11.2)? Another issue is that having initially booted without an internet connection, ntpd refuses to re-resolve the the ntp servers and has to be manually restarted. Shouldn't ntpd have a roadwarrior option to retry resolving hosts? - this would save having to manually kick it via the command line or cron.
We just had daylight savings change (the clocks went back one hour at 2am). he machine that was on at 2am adjusted it's time on it's own. All the other machines (5 of them) were off at 2am are still on the 'old' time.Wwhat's the best way to ensure I don't have to adjust these manually next time daylight savings change? Maybe "ntpdate -s time.nist.gov &" in rc.local?
I'm writing a centralized logging piece, and I need to grep out logs that have specific date tags. The date command returns abbreviated months (Sep), via "#date -d yesterday '+%b'" but I need it all caps. ie SEP vice Sep. Otherwise the grep doesn't catch it
the open office deamon (sOffice.bin) takes 100% CPU load forever.
We are using Open Office 2.6.3 on a virtual machine running debian squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64
UPDATE:
We found out that this appears only with our test document, other documents can be converted without problem. But how can we find out what's wrong with our document. How can we enable traces/loggin o the sOffice.bin process?
I just learnt to convert a video file into mp4 format so I can watch it on my PS3. However, I have dozens of video files from my video cam, and want to convert them all. They are all in the same folder. Please can someone explain how I might be able to adapt the code below so I can convert all my files in a batch. Perhaps keeping their same name or giving them some other name, I don't mind.
I am running Debian 5.0.5 and want it to convert a video file after upload, then update in MySQL if possible? I have tryed ff-mpeg and yes I could convert to FLV but the Pixelation where very bad and and if I closed the browser it finished the conversion but didn't updated it in the database.
I want to burn VCD's and DVD's from flash videos that will play in a standalone DVD player but have been unsuccessful at finding the correct combination of conversion choices in DownloadHelper. This is my 3rd or 4th request for help on this. Someone out there must be successful at burning. Avidemux, DeVeDe, and DVDStyler have
Is there any Linux tool that will take a SWF file and output some kind of video format? Note that I don't want a tool which will re-encode an embedded FLV or MP4, I want to take a standard Flash movie and render it as a video.I found a reference to dump-gnash in the GNU Manual, but having installed the gnash package on Fedora I don't have that command.
I have thousands of audio files in all sorts of formats. Whenever I install a distro this means that I always have to download a ton of different audio stuff as well (and I really don't understand linux audio). Typically this means gstreamer good, bad and ugly, xine, GNOME Mplayer and god knows what else. If I could change the formats of all files into a simple FOSS format I would. Is there a program that can detect current formats and do a bulk convert, into ogg maybe?
Having problems displaying French chars. They are dumped into an nfs share by a Windows/cifs configuration which has been blamed for this unwanted behavior but when I transfer a file continaing � via WinSCP to the RedHat, instead of getting the filename Response.txt I see R?sponse.txt. When I refresh WinSCP to view the file it views it ok.
Having openSUSE 11.2, Firefox (latest release) is having some issues when comes to "saving image as", it fails to offer "saving window"? Konqueror works normal, what could be the problem with Firefox?
I want to save notes against a file on linux... i want to save meta data about a file..because the file names are restricted in max length...So how to save notes or comments about a file on linux so that it gets saved along with the file itself...I used the notes tab in the file properties dialogbox.. but that way the notes stick to the file only on that OS only.. if i open that file in another linux os.. those comments/notes are gone...Way to embedd these notes into the file so that i dont lose them ever..At lease a solution that makes this possible on switching linux distros. if its not portable enough that these notes stick b/w windows and linux its ok for me.. but atleast if i format my linux os.. atleast i shouldnt lose those important notes..and be able to access on newer linux..
And i also have no idea if this notes tab was implemented to be linked with the OS only.. i dont see much use of it.. and a normal user also has noway to know this.. i also came to know on superuser chat from a buddy.. @Sathya ..this thing is more useless especially if u use ubuntu which has 6 months timeline..and crazy people like me who are always eager to upgrade their os as soon a new one is available..and any way i can search these notes from the terminal?
I'm using fedora 11. I want to do some operation like after saving a file (moving ,copying,..) the system need to ask that "DO you want to encrypt?" . If yes I am able to run the crypt module (which I already implemented..). Is it possible to invoke a encrypt module which I implemented in c language.
What would be the best way to install Linux such that I could also on occasion use the Windows XP that came with my new computer? Ubuntu with XP running in Wine? -- so I can use both at the same time? Dual partition to dual boot? I tried putting wubi Ubuntu installed on top of Windows, but have problems with grub crashing and have been told I had best not install Linux on top of Windows. But if I install Linux as the primary OS, how best save the option to do some Windows? I want to do astronomy stuff, so am hoping Ubuntu is good for science, if not, I can use RedHat.
I do not have a Windows XP install disk from the vendor, so if I wipe out the XP install, it might be trouble for me to reinstall windows, so I don't know if I should just copy the hard disk to an external drive. The computer does not have my personal files on it yet.) Is my current idea of running Windows in Wine feasible? Would I need to reinstall Windows by copying back the files from an external hard drive?
