pe> After chronyc settime 16:50 the clock displays 4:50. From: John Hasler <jhas...@debian.org> Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 19:39:19 -0600 > What did it display before the chronyc command?
4:50 ... or might have been 4:49. I click slowly. My explanation should have been more clear. In the BIOS on Joule the clock is set to within a minute of UTC. pe...@dalton:~$ telnet joule Trying 10.4.0.1... [don't worry; it's an encrypted tunnel] ... pe...@joule:~$ date --iso-8601=minutes 2010-12-28T03:39-0800 pe...@joule:~$ exitConnection closed by foreign host. pe...@dalton:~$ date --iso-8601=minutes 2010-12-28T13:51-0800 Dalton is showing the correct time within a minute. joule:~$ date is lagging approximately 10 (13:51-03:39) hours. Seems advisable to set UTC in the BIOS of Joule, set the correct time in the Joule Linux clock with date, check the LXDE time display and forget 'chronyc settime'. > Try %H:%M:%S Will keep that in mind in case the LXDE display is wrong after the date setting. > Chrony does nothing that has anything to do with formats. Yes but if the displayed time is off by +/- 12:00 hours the distinction between an error in clock time and an error in format is not immediate. If the error is other than +/- 12:00, there could be a "display format error" on top of a time error. Thanks, ... Peter E. -- Telephone 1 360 450 2132.
