I had to reinstall Windows recently, which reset my clock under Linux. No problem, I set the clock, and then set the hardware clock to the system clock. Rebooted under Windows, and both were fine. After rebooting into Slack, it is again a few hours off. How can I change this permanently?

The correction values are stored in a script ( /etc/joystick.cal ) but when I reboot, the old values are written again in so I have either to repeat calibration or open the script and give the right correction values (which I have stored somewhere). So , what is the way to save my changes in this script permanently ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis game is Java based. After rebooting the game works, but on ending the game several notification boxes remain. If these boxes are not closed in the reverse order that the game opened them, it is no longer possible to close them. Only by killing the Java processes can these notifications be made to close. Also after playing the game, even if all these notifications are closed it is many times necessary to kill the Java process(es) in order to get the game to load again at a later time. I am currently using Slackware 1.30, but a similar problem has existed in several of the past releases.

When I change it on desktop login as regular user to the right thing, then log out or reboot, I have to change it again when I log back in again. This is with an Audigy2 card, and onboard audio chip. I switch between the two for various reasons.
I use a laptop and Ubuntu 10.10 x86. Problem is I have a second monitor with 1280x1024 native resolution, and that resolution is not displayed in modes.So I solved my problem temporarily using this: Code:xrandr --newmode 1280x1024_60.00 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00 The 1280x1024 mode appears and I do "apply" -> all OK. And then I press "make default" (where I get a pop screen confirmation warning me that will be the default config after reboot) - nice! Problem is: "make default" don't work! And I have to add a new mode after each login.
I upgraded my opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3, but after it, I have several problem with it.

I have problem with graphic card driver and consequently can't change screen resolution, therefore after each restart, my resolution automatically fix to 1600x1200 but I would like to set it in 1280x1024? What can I do to change it permanently?
Secondly: I installed vmware workstation 6.5 and after it, I see a message that say vmware need to Kernel Header 2.6.34-12- desktop. I install kernel-syms, kernel-source, gcc and make but doesn't run yet. What happen for it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll my LC environment variables are currently set to POSIX at boot, though I can't find the startup script that does this. I've grepped through /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d but no luck. In /etc/default/locale, LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8, which is my preferred locale. But this doesn't stop all the LC's being set to POSIX. Consequently, my dates follow the American convention, which I find hard to read.
I tried resetting with update-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8. This changed all the locales to en_GB but only for the session. When I rebooted, everything went back to POSIX. The only change is that en_GB.utf-8 is now in the /etc/default/locale file as the value of LC_TIME as well as LANG.
I installed Ubuntu on my Netbook. I like it to use the Terminals. I don't mean the "GUI-Terminal-Emulators", I mean those I can open with "Alt+FX". There the font size is to big, so I changed it with "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup". It worked, but after restart the font were "reseted" and big. Is there a way to permanently change the font size?

I'm looking for some sort of solution to have different clocks (of different time zones) displayed on my desktop! Anything such as gadgets, screenlets, ...
A few distributions back the option to display a clock on the gnome-panel in GMT was removed, however to preserve backwards compatibility the option was left in which you could edit by hand or through gconf-editor. Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 I've noticed that the option does not work any longer.
My method has been:
$ gconf-editor then under: / -> apps -> panel -> applets -> applet_N -> prefs set: gmt_time = True

(Although, it appears there is a little drift)
I recently installed Squeeze and it was simple and is running great. I have a usb fat32 drive that shares data on 3 partitions with winxp. None are listed in fstab. They all are mounted in /media.2 partitions, Video and Music, are shown in gparted as mounted by their volume labels, which is what I want; eg /media/MUSIC. The DATA volume is mounted by its' uuid. This is how it is displayed on my desktop. The other 2 volumes display the way I want: MUSIC and VIDEO. I have changed the mount point in /media to the label name:/media/DATA but it returns to its' uuid after reboot. How can I change it to display the label name? It works fine, but I have a need to "tidy up" my desktop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe are doing a project related to clock synchronisation. We have two laptops: Compaq and IBM Thinkpad. If we adjust the clocks of two laptops to same time in HH:MM:SS using datefunction, in about half an hour, both the clock drift by about 10-15 min We are wondering how this is possible???We have compiled kernel 2.6.36.2 on both laptops and set the value of HZ to 1000. Then what is the reason for such a significant drift in short interval of time??Is this related to crystal oscillator or anything else?
