Title: Time and date?
Post by: rpav on August 14, 2004, 07:05:41 pm

OK, so pdaXrom basically kicks ass.  Actually, no basically about it... everything just seems to work, and it's got almost everything I want (lacking a few ruby modules).

However there's one glaring oddity.  It keeps resetting the date when I start X to 16:00 Dec 13, 2004, and if I use the time and date app, it locks the desktop/window manager and I have to reboot.   D'oh.

Anyone have a fix for this? (C860, yadda)

Actually I originally tried something like the second poster suggested (using date -s then hwclock --systohc), but while date works fine (unless used with matchbox or whatever, which locks solid when it notices the change), hwclock just sits there never returning.  Odd.  Will poke around more.

hwclock seems to have a bug/problem this is fixed in the current "kathrin" which is currently undergoing heavy testing.

As a followup, I finally got hwclock to work.  (Seems to work every once in awhile from the console, and cycling APM suspend with apm -s seems to help.)  Glad to hear it's fixed in current.  I'm sure all these minor snaggles are.  Everything works great now.
