Can't Set Time Without Crash

[tombraider]

In 2004, this was a problem mentioned in posts on this forum...nobody has fixed this???
I'm really beginning to despair.

IS there a fix?  Did a search for hwclock and found some really LONG and involved procedures but is there a new quick fix?

Thanks in advance.

maybe you should try pdaXii13 instead. its basically pdaXrom 1.1.0 beta3 + lots of bugs fixed, including setting time and many other things...

Found a fix.  The crash when trying to set the time apparently is caused by something called "atd" running so BEFORE trying to change the time put the following command in the console:

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/atd stopThen after you have set the time,  restart "atd" by putting the following command in at the console:

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/atd start
Meanie,  I'm too afraid to try pdaXii13 after those dire warnings on the page you referred me to.  I'm already having serious problems with the on/off button and suspending without total crashes...it's worse than Windows!  PdaXrom IS pretty though.  

I really use Corsair and Shoutcast an awful lot and will probably flash back to Cacko Rom because of those apps.  Also,  the fonts are WAY too tiny.  I am also having a great deal of trouble reading emails in the email utility...the emails hotlinks have to be right-clicked to open a browser and I sure miss Opera.

It would be helpful if kdepim was capable of importing its own darn files.  I  know,  complain, complain. ;-)

all these issues you mention, except for kdepim, are non-existant on pdaXii13. there is one more issue which I will fix tonight so after that, pdaXii13 on Akita should be perfect...

and don't worry about those warnings... actually, i think i overdid them a bit and i will remove them. those warnings should have been put on pdaXrom beta4 et al instead

I know your pain tombraider.
My first couple months I went threw what you are going through. Someone eventually wrote a script that helped with the whole time setting issue.... but I would recommend trying pdaXii13. It's not perfect, but it's more perfect.
I'll be interested in reading about your pdaXrom experiences in your blog.

In order to avoid that situation, I simply wrote a script which sets the time (using network or the datentime.py GUI) and then reboots the zaurus automatically.
That way, it does not matter if I lose keyboard and touchscreen imput after setting the time (which happened often to me).
