OpenSUSE :: Software To Display Time From Multiple Time Zones?
Jun 15, 2011
I'm looking for a program that will digitally display the time in three different cities - all showing at once. I don't care if it is a panel applet or stand-alone. I'm using Suse 11.3 and Gnome.
I boot Ubuntu off of an external hard drive just so I don't deal with partitions and crap on the same drive my Windows 7 Ultimate is on. This is a Gateway laptop, BTW. Anyway, after I boot Ubuntu, when I boot into Windows again my time is off by a few time zones.
I don't know why but since I upgraded the KDE 4.4 desktop from openSUSE 11.3 to 4.5, the desktop just freezes some times.
If i was listening music, or watching a video I can still hear everything and even move the mouse, but nothing works.
So I switch to TTy1, perform a init 3, then init 5 to restart all the graphic system, and start again. This happens without message, without log, and without clue...
Should I downgrade to 4.4 or this has a Workaround?
I'd like to know if it's possible to set the DISPLAY environment variable in order to display on two machines, the local and the remote, at the same time.
I was wondering how could I display a list of all of my users and their log on time, you know like small reports on what user was connected for how long.
I have the bar at the top configured to display the time but it is displaying 12 hours out.For example, it's now 16:49 but the time is displaying as 06:49. If I click on Adjust Date & Time it has the correct time in there and it is configured to display 24-hour format and is in the correct time zone. If I switch to 12-hour format it displays 6:49 AM which is clearly incorrect.I can't fix it because it thinks the time is correct when I try to change it.
I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC ie AMD Athlon x64 with 15 GB for (root) partition and 2 gb for Swap Space,with 1.2 GB of RAM,but after the successful installation its not displaying the GRUB immediately, taking 90-270 seconds to display? What might be the reason.? I have windows XP on my pc,even for booting into Win XP, one needs the GRUB display, its taking almost 90-180 Seconds to display the GRUB(sometimes more than that). But this thing never used to happen in previous versions of Ubuntu? Why only for this specific Ubuntu 9.10?
Is there a way to display the boot logs as ubuntu is starting up? Call me old fashion, but I think it's better than staring at a pretty logo that does not tell me what's going on everytime I boot. I am using 10.10
After much too often wondering "hey, when did I actually start this time-consuming command?", I'm considering adding a timestamp to my bash prompt.My first try was simple: PS1="(A) $PS1" which gives a display like:(16:58) exscape ~ #
However, the problem with that approach is that it displays the time when the line was written, not when the command on it was executed. So, if I run "ls" at 16:58, and get a new prompt "(16:58) ..." and then run the next command 2 hours later, it'll look like this:(16:58) exscape ~ # new-commandI of course want the line to display the time when the command was actually run, not when the prompt appeared.
Is there any scanner that can scan multiple pages at a time? Without human intervention. Then put all the scanned pages in 1 tiff file or multiple gif or png or jpg files. A scanner that works with Linux. I need make and model.
When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
It takes me a while to log in the splash screen just sits there for ages before i get to the desktop. Never used to be this slow and I'm not sure why. Firstly, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, standard DE. I do have conky starting up in a script but it has the & at the end of the line so I didn't think this would cause it (or is there some special case for log in time on how & is treated?). However as a test I will comment out the line in the script and see if it is the cause.
However just for general knowledge and in case that isn't the problem, how does one go seeing what is happening during the time from when one log's in and the desktop is displayed? Is there some kind of log that shows the date/time that can be enabled or is there a debug mode that can be enabled somehow via special keys or maybe from grub?
I am using Debian linux. I have 100 timers running. If a timer expired which will generate a signal and it was mapped to a same function handler. All the timers are mapped to one function handler. The problem is if the timer expires one at a time, the function handler called at a time. But if the 2 timers expires at a time, the function handler is called one time only instead 2 times. Is it possible to invoke the function handler as many times based on timer expirary happens simultaneoulsy?
I've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.
I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.
I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code: hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.
Since the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze on my Notebook Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 with Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG I have wireless connection problems.The connection breaks time to time and sometimes cannot connect automaticaly after restart. BTW I didn't change anything on the wireless or network configurations on the notebook and on the wiereless router.
In the right upper corner of your screen,you can see if you have a network connection or not.Most of the time I do not have one according to Networkmanager (?).So I have to enable my wired connection manually.I already tried a lot to change my settings so I would have a network connection at boot,but it doesn't seem to work....Firefox is in Offline modus when I logon..
For like windows you can resore your os to a state of peace kind of. If you messed up your vital files you could go back in time and restore you computer to a selected time. I was wondering if you could do that for ubuntu
I have a Insprion 14R (N4010) and when I hibernate it will usually restore without a problem, but maybe 15% of the time it will reboot while loading. I would like to figure why, since I'd rather not lose anything... My swap space is 5.9GB, I have 4GB RAM (video uses 1gb, so I have 3gb usable)
I have a linux (Slackware) machine and the time/date is like, June 23rd 2003, 10:00am (It's 11 here) and I am not able to set the time to have it correct. I change the timezome to Montreal but the time is still wrong.
Is there a way to force it to sync with my domain controler or even another online NTP server?
