Hello All,<br><br>I am working on a BUGFIX : <b>115928</b>, I would like to have some clarifications regarding the same.<br><br><b>Some users set their hardware clock to UT, and do not configure their systems to convert to local time. <br>
If possible, KStars should detect this and set the local time correctly in this case.<br></b><br><i>Some users set their hardware clock to UT</i>
: This seems to be okay since Gnu/Linux allows us to keep our hardware
clock to UTC. Also this can be tracked by checking the file <b>/etc/adjtime</b> in which it will be written UTC or LOCAL.As far as I understood, <b>hwclock </b>can be used to check this.see manual page of <b>hwclock</b><br>
<br clear="all"><i>do not configure their systems to convert to local time</i>
: This gives me some confusions. As we install our Gnu/Linux system, we
need to select a time Zone and installation cannot continue without
that.So Kernel automatically converts the time to local time (if
hardware clock uses UTC or else it will not), based on this and we will
be getting the Local time automatically. i.e. we may test this argument
using hwclock command.<br>
<br>hwclock will display only local time. Suppose a hardware clock is
set to local time. then if we run hwclock, it will show the local time.
now we add an option --utc to it. this will interpret hwclock set to
utc and now the result shows a conversion. Hence, I think there is no
argument such that user donot configure their systems to convert to
local time.<br clear="all"><br>Can anyone please clarify this thing for me?<br><br>Regards,<br>Jain Basil Aliyas<br>-- <br><a href="http://jainbasil.wordpress.com">http://jainbasil.wordpress.com</a><br><a href="http://fsugtsr.org">http://fsugtsr.org</a><br>
