Ubuntu :: Time Changed From GMT To BST - Wake On Alarm Fails / Fix This?
Mar 30, 2011
I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and in the UK we changed from GMT to BST last Sunday (27th March)
On GMT I was waking on LAN at 23:30, all was working fine then we changed to BST. What I usually do is leave the BIOS clock on GMT and change the Wake on Alarm to 22:30. I did this, shut down Ubuntu fine, but its not waking up at all at 22:30, or any other time I set the WOA to. I had this problem a few years ago on an old ASrock mobo and cant remember how I sorted it - maybe by blanking the bios, cant remember.

I have a feature that keeps me going back to Mac every night, and I was wondering if there was an equivalent. I have a nice app called alarm clock on Mac that plays music from my library on specified days of the week and times AND can wake the computer from sleep to do so. I was wondering if there was a Linux equivalent, such as crontab, that could do all those things. It's the last barrier to almost full time Linux use.

I followed this page: [URL] that script seems good but I want to change. I want if program is running that it wakes up program on each day (example at 17:15). So I don't want to put it in to sleep but in to time waiting.

I have managed to make ubuntu (9.04) turn itself on from being completely off with the following code:
Code:
sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm"
sudo sh -c "echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 480 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm"
[code]....

I've had this problem two times before and solved it once by following a guide, the other time by formatting. It always happens when it fails to wake up from suspend. Usually I am unable to even mount the drive or access the files. This one is different in that now I can actually access my files for the most part but this comes up on boot. I backed up most of my files (except it still says I don't have permission to access some of them) but I would like to get it back up and running without formatting. If I boot in recovery mode it stops at this. I took a picture but I rewrote some of it here.
Firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 00016c000061b4b4. S4???
in/sh: cannot open ro

I am running 11.04. After an update about a week and a half ago, the time to wake from suspend increased from about 3 seconds to well over 40 seconds. It now, sometimes, takes me longer to wake from suspend than a normal boot takes. Has anyone else encountered this problem/found a fix or workaround?

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)
lspci says
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 18)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06)
[code]....
I do have the hibernate package installed...

On installation of my OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux), I've made a mistake, and set the date and time wrong. It's pointing to a date far in the future. So I change the date (and time), all looks OK. But when I boot, all is back to the same date (in 2015). I'm running this OS in VMware, I don't know if this issue relates to VM or not.

I need to write a small application which needs to detect if the system time is changed by an another application/user and perform some action as soon as it is detected (maybe log the data that time has changed, along with info about which application/user changed it).
How can this be achieved?
I have good programming experiences in shell script, c and beginner level in python.
I don't need to know when it was changed, just need to know who/what changed it.
The system uses NTP to sync the time, but it is also possible for anyone/any application to change the time(for eg: using the simple "date" command as well).

For the second time in a week, I have set up an unmanaged CentOS 5.5 Storm Server at StormOnDemand, only to discover a ton of unauthorized changes to binaries (updated file checksums and sizes) on the server shortly thereafter.The time stamps do NOT change.If the time stamps did change, I would be hunting down ahat was doing some auto-updates. But the time stamps are not changing.This leads me to believe that either these servers are suffering from:1. A virus or hacker is compromising the box.2. system corruption.3. Something else? To eliminate the possibility of number 1, I toasted the first server and started over with a new server and enabled their firewall from the start to only allow access for two IPs via SSH... my IP and my biz partner's.
Then, one of the first things we installed was a system we created that maintains a snapshot of most directories on the system so that it can be used to watch the live directories for changes. At 4:07am (server time) this morning, we received notice from this system that a massive number of files had changed in these directories. Again, no file time stamps changed.So, my question is this... is there any legitimate reason in a fairly standard CentOS 5.5 install that would cause so many files to change?

I am using the default CVS available in Fedora 9. I initiated the CVS server by
cvs -d /usr/local/cvsproj init
To check-in and check-out the following exports commands are used
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:swathi@SERVER:/usr/local/cvsproj
I shall explain problem by taking an example. A project was checked in long before (for example the checkin date is 25 Feb 2010). And today (i.e. 21 June 2011) I checked out the project from the repository. After checkout, the date of the project in the repository is changed from 25 Feb 2010 to 21 June 2011. This date is set to all the subfolders in that project. But the files in the project retains the checking date i.e. 25 Feb 2010. Why the check-in dates are getting updated/changed to the system time after doing check-out.

I'm having an issue with dual networking on RHEL 5. My initial question is can the order the ethx (0,1) devices are brought up be changed at boot time, so I could bring up eth1 before eth0?
Some background: eth0 is DHCP'd and using DNS, basically this is my primary network. eth1 is an isolated subnet, with a manually configured IP which has no connection to eth0 or the outside world. When I bring up networking it first brings up eth0 and then eth1, what happens is eth1 becomes the 'primary' network of the host and I lose my connection to DNS/NFS/NIS and the outside world.
If I login and manually bring up eth1 first, then eth0 everyone is happy and connections work. So, I'm looking for a solution to either bring up eth1 before eth0 or somehow make eth0 my primary IP and not have it be clobbered by eth1.

I recently got Ubuntu up running on my HP DV1000 laptop. The problem I started noticing is that whenever I were to install packages via software center or even from the web. They simply won't install. After I enter my password it just hangs and won't continue forward.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4, I enter the command:net time set -I 192.59.196.66Where 192.59.196.66 is the IP address of a Windows Server 2008 time serverThe response is:/bin/date 071218072010.20 failed. Error was (Success)The actual clock time does not get updated. However, evidently it did really communicate with the time server on 192.59.196.66, because the value in the response 071218072010.20 does correspond to the time on the time server, albeit in the somewhat bizarre format MMDDHHMMYYYY.SS.

About 40% of the time when I try to open Dolphin (clicking the widget on the taskbar) I get launch feedback but it never opens Dolphin. If I then click it again, this time it will open. Where can I look in some log to find what error might be happening?

I have what I think is a somewhat different failure of standby than I've seen listed on other threads, and I'm stumped.The system hangs on this for a while, then comes back to the login screen without going into standby. This ONLY HAPPENS on a SECOND standby attempt--the first standby after booting ALWAYS succeeds.The standby log doesn't indicate any failures.I had made other changes previously that temporarily got standby working consistently:/etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1"

When I try to install Debian 8 on my laptop I get this rather odd error. The install fails every time. I've managed to get as far as choosing which Desktop Environment I want and the shortly after it shuts off. It shows 4 messages
Code: Select allSystem is going down!
Sending Termsignal
Sending Killsignal
Requesting Machine Poweroff
The machine I'm trying to install on is a Gateway NV53, 4gb of RAM, AMD Athlon II x64.
At first I thought it might be my disc so I burnt another DVD using the 4.3GB DVD image I had downloaded. I checked the disc and it verified with the image and so I tried again with the same results as above. Any clue what might be causing this? I'm sure it isn't my hardware, Arch has been running fine for almost 6 months and never seemed to care.

I am trying to build conky from SlackBuilds.org using sbopkg, but the build fails every single time. It may be worth noting that I am trying to build with extra options, namely --disable-x11 --disable-xdamage --disable-own-window --disable-xft.
This is so I can have a cli-only conky that I can pipe to my status bar. This has worked in the past, but now the build is failing with a seemingly unrelated error.
It states:
Code:
At the end of the build. I tried removing the option --enable-audacious, but that only resulted in an error which complained that yet another option (--enable-rss=yes) was a "Command not found". This continues as I remove options. I would like to keep many of those options active as I have a need for certain features.
This is a copy of the SlackBuild being used:
Code:
I have a full install of Slackware64 v13.1, so audacious is installed. I don't know what else could be going wrong, and I don't know why this worked in the past.

Arpwatch is failing to start at boot time. I got this message:
arpwatch: bad interface eth0: eth0: no ipv4 address assigned
Once I login into my account, I can (as root) run the arpwatch demon, but it is suppose to run at boot time. After I installed aprwatch, it was working correctly. I do not have an idea of what happens or since when the problem start to happen. I just realize, after a while , that arpwatch was not running. I am running Fedora 12 - 2.6.32.9-67.fc12

I have no idea what I've done but I can't compile from source anymore.
VectorLinux standard 6.0
everything I try to compile fails at ./configure with an error :
Quote:
The content of config.log: (kinda long)
Quote:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by mpc configure 0.8.2, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.65.
Invocation command line was:
configure: exit 1
I was intending to recompile gcc from source instead of the the one came with the distro, but to do so I need MPC, which I can't compile.

I have a flash drive that I want to mount as my root filesystem at boot time. When I'm in linux, I can run `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt`, and the kernel will mount the ext3 FS on the flash drive at /mnt with no problems. From this I assumed I could boot my system with the kernel option 'root=/dev/sda1', but this doesn't work. My kernel has no initrd, and is booted directly by a bootloader. It has no modules, so I know that's not the issue.
The current setup that works consists of a ramdisk that the bootloader loads into RAM before booting the kernel. The kernel detects this ramdisk and the current kernel root option ('root=/dev/ram') mounts the ramdisk as the root fs with no problems.I can see where the kernel detects the flash driveat startup, and I can't think of a reason why I couldn't just mount it as root. I can copy/paste startup logs here if necessary.

I'm looking for an easy to use alarm clock program that I can suggest to new users. The two I have tried so far have fallen short of my expectations. "Alarm Clock" from the Ubuntu software repository starts out okay, but when the alarm actually goes off, getting it to stop seems pretty unintuitive. Click on the Alarm Clock icon, then click a Stop button in the new window that pops up. Sounds easy enough except that the icon used for "Stop" is just this grey square, so for users who are not familiar with linux or this program, it isn't even obvious that it is a button. I had one user actually uninstall the thing in order to get it to shut up. Preferably one should be able to silence the alarm by click on the alarm icon (or right clicking, if a 'doze' behavior is preferred) The other one I tried was alarm-clock-applet, which wants me to locate an alarm sound on my filesystem. Uh, no.
Does anyone know of a simple, basic alarm clock system that anyone can just sit down and immediately use without having to 'get in to the head' of the developer? Are the KDE alarms better? Am I missing something about either of these programs which would make them easier to use?

I recently decided to install ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 to my Toshiba NB200. I was using windows and I wanted to completely erase them. I burned the USB, I followed every single instruction the site had, and even though the installation seemed to work, and a message to reboot my computer appeared at the end, the installation finally fails. When I reboot, the only thing I get is a black screen with an underscore at the top left corner. I tried the installation four to six times and even tried older versions as well but all I get is the black screen.

I installed 'Alarm Clock' from the Software Center and would like to have said app autostarts. There is an option in Alarm Clock to autostart with Gnome but that doesn't work so I assume the reason being I'm not root.
How to autostart Alarm Clock?
Also, in System > Preferences > Startup Applications, the 'Add' asks for a command. Is this like Windows whereas I simply point it to the app I want started? I don't even know where apps are installed. Who said ignorance is bliss?
