Points that may be relavent, - The system has "worked" correctly for many months prior to next point. - This problem has occured since building a new kernel and changing to KDE as the desktop - Upon a reboot the time has corrected itself. My questions are - The kernel was the first I have done without genkernel or oldconfig is there an option that could be casuing this? - Can KDE be causing this? though if I drop out of KDE date still outputs the incorrect time. - I tried to install "chrony" to adjust the time, though it seems to be working ie. from logs, though it does not update the sytstem time, could there be a permissions issue somewhere or have I lost something that checks or sync's the system time? - As I wrote last question I realised that I did my first "emerge -av --depclean" a few days ago is it possible that I have removed some app that keeps a check on system time? OK, well thanks for reading this far, above are the points that I have manged to scrape up but do not know how to answer are there any other points that may be affecting this any suggestions at all ? regards stu -- "There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, those who don't" --Unknown -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
