when I installed Ubuntu 9.10 I put in one time setting but it was wrong, and now I don't know where to change it. I tried to change the time preferences, but on reboot I am back to the wrong time.
I know the data is in there somewhere and I can change if I knew where it was.
I installed Ubuntu inside windows(Win 7).Both works good.I found that system time is wrong in both OS.Every time i Change it manually but it changes again on reboot!

This has only been happening since I got back from a trip to Australia, where I naturally changed the computer's timezone to match the local one. I'm now back in Central European Time which is 10 hours behind Australia's. This is on opensuse 11.3.
I've used the YAST date and time tool to set the timezone correctly, and /etc/localtime is set correctly:
Code:
:~> sha1sum /etc/localtime
b065fae6bda0f0642ca6a52b665768e34a99d213 /etc/localtime

I'm running windows 7 and the F12 Beta (although the same issue existed in my f11 distro) on an asus g71 bb. When ever I boot into windows my time is correct. If I boot into to F12 my time is wrong. Usually by 4 hours. If I change it in Linux when I boot into windows I end up switching the time on my windows partition. I tried searching the forum (rather casual I'll admit) and couldn't find any solutions.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've set-up dual boot on my laptop. Ubuntu installed first, then Windows 7 so it uses Grub2 to control the booting on start-up. I've noticed that my system clock goes out by an hour on both OS's, I change the clock to correct time & on reboot the time is usually (not always straight away) an hour behind. Has anyone else had this problem & know how to fix it?

I've been having a problem on my AMD based machine, 4cpu, gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h Mobo, 8GB mem, two 2 terabyte Sata HDs.One thing I've found is that any kernel after 2.6.32-17 has a randomness at boot time whether the system will completely boot or not.
For instance just today I downloaded and installed 2.6.32-24
It fails to boot (I've tried cold boot, warm boot).Running its repair also fails to completely boot.My experience is that if I keep trying it "may" eventually boot but I believe there was some change after 2.6.32-17-generic that's causing the problem.Because as with 2.6.32.23... which also fails to complete bootup many times... eventually my guess is that 2.6.32.24 will also boot "sometimes".But why does 2.6.32.17 always boot for me? Something changed and its not my setup.
We have 2 applications set as S96 and S98 at rc3.d and rc5.d simultaneously. Both applications create a system V shared memory segment by calling shmget.If the system boot at runlevel 5, both applications can obtain their shared memory segment id correctly, i.e. 98305 and 131074 individually. While there is a root owned segment id 32768 takes first seat on the list. This is the id list:
root, 32768
S96_app, 98305
S98_app, 131074

I want to install my system on my U-Disk.So I need to delay the time when system starting before the system recognized the U-Disk. How to change it in the grub? If I change it ,how can I save it in order not to change it every time I start the computer? Is it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to edit the system time as a not-root user. I am carrying out the following actions in my program.
1. Read the User Id of the process. User_ID= getuid()
2. Printing Capabilities(Permitted, Efffective, Inheritable)of the process
3. Setting UID = 0, using setuid(0)
4. Calling the prctl(), function to keep capabilities
5.Switching the UID from root to User_ID of the process
6. What we have now is a process with root capabilities as a non root user
7. On printing Permitted, Effective, Inheritable capabilities, I get the following
--> Permitted = 0xfffffeff = Effective
Inheritable = 0x0; with UID = 1001;
8. I then try and set the system time with --> system("date -s 10:00");
9. I get an error: date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted
10. I am unable to understand as to why I cannot set the time even thought the capability bit CAP_SYS_TIME in the Permitted and Effective sets are SET.
I have the application and kernel module running on my system. In the meantime, I am changing the date and time of the system. However, this change doesn't reflect on log messages of the application that's being executed.
