Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Winter clock change did not happen
Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 11:34:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201010311134.25586.alan.mckinnon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201010310924.11434.michaelkintzios@gmail.com>

Apparently, though unproven, at 11:24 on Sunday 31 October 2010, Mick did 
opine thusly:

> I dual boot with MSWindows and therefore have set up my /etc/conf.d/clock
> to:
> 
> CLOCK="local"
> TIMEZONE="Europe/London"
> CLOCK_OPTS=""
> CLOCK_SYSTOHC="no"
> SRM="no"
> ARC="no"
> 
> I noticed this morning that the clock was still showing summer time (I
> rarely boot into MSWindows).
> 
> I had to boot into MSWindows to check what happens there and the clock was
> showing the new winter time.  After that the Linux clock was also showing
> the updated winter time.
> 
> Does this mean that twice a year when the clock changes I need to boot into
> MSWindows first to allow the time change to take place, or is there a Linux
> side fix for my dual boot set up?

gut feel tells me windows is broken.

All my calendars (electronic and dead-tree) tell me that daylight savings 
switches at the END of today not at the beginning
