Hi Nubee,

And to be honest, having a ball with my new OpenSuSE 10.2, amd64
install....

...but this clock IS driving me nuts already!

I'm having no crystal ball, nor "this clock" so if you tell me what is wrong
with a clock in many more words we can look for a solution.
What you did?
What is a problem?

Do we have a fix in t+he works?

For what? Clock?
I don't have any problems with a clock, so "we" falls off in need for a fix.

Hmm...

I DL the ISO for OpenSuSE 10.2 AMD64 to install on a MSI MB, AMD64.

On install, the installation program ask "Date and Time? " Set to PST,
Local, <date> <Time>

No not OK. Your bios clock is set to what? Local time or UTC. It should be
set to UTC, unless you dual boot with windows. Stting it to local time will
cause you no end of problems.


O.K., so far.

Install works, a little hitch for the Libzypp problem, all is fine,
except the clock in the KDE Panel shows incorrect time.

I have updated to Linux 2.6.18.8-0.1-default #1 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now, still, in the KDE GUI, bottom right panel, the clock is
incorrectly set. wrong time.
Using Thunderbird to post to a NG, the post failed because "Cannot
Post to Future."

O.K., right-click the clock, > click adjust date & time

Pop up window asks for SU id <suid> [enter]

KDE Control Module opens > the analog clock displays the incorrect
time.
Set the time to the correct time.

Now for the next few minutes the KDE panel Clock displays the correct
time.
Open an other window, open a konsole shell type a command # uname -a

In ten minutes the Clock is off by 10 minutes. that is, I set the
clock at 18:40 (6:40pm) and at 18:50 the KDE panel clock reads 7pm
(19:00)

OK, that is weird. It is either a severe hardware problem, or a wrong Hz
rate.
a) Are you running ntp?
b) What is your HZ set in the config file for the kernel ( /boot/config
maybe, or /usr/src/linux/.config

Type adjtimex -p
and look at the output, or post it.




If you think information on my hardware may be of interest I will be
happy to provide.

thanks
