 CMOS TIME CHANGESMy machine is setup with multiple Windows and Linux OS's in removable drive trays. The problem is: when I remove Mepis 11 and put in another drive, the system clock changes, and I have to go into the bios and manually correct it, so the other os will boot with the correct time.
I cannot find any topics on this subject at this time. A solution would be appreciated. I have been a Linux user for many years, but am new to Mepis 11. Thanks, Cliff |

Re: CMOS TIME CHANGES Is the difference similar to the difference between your time zone and GMT? One of the systems might be running on universal time while the other is on local time.

Re: CMOS TIME CHANGES
Windows assumes your bios is set to local time. Make sure that is the case. Then tell your Linux installs that the system is set to local time and not GMT and you should be good. _________________ Asus M4A87TD USB3 AMD 870 Socket AM3 Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz Quad Core GeForce 9500 GT 1GB PCIe, nVidia TwinView Kingston 2G x 2 1333 DDR3 WD Caviar 500GB x 2 SATA hdd |

Re: CMOS TIME CHANGES I think it may be set to GMT, but I cannot find a way to change it to local time in Mepis.

Re: CMOS TIME CHANGES
There's a line in the /etc/default/rcS file where you can change it to use local time

Re: CMOS TIME CHANGES Thank you kmathern. I did an edit on the rcS file, changed the "yes" to "no", and it works great. Easy fix if you know what you're doing.
Thanks again, Cliff |
