can not get time to stay set

[YellowHammer]

I am not a guru, but neither am I a newbie. I was reluctant to upgrade to 9.04 because I liked kde3.*
I do like the new everything, but the time always resets to 5 hours behind after shutdown and reboot. I live in the American central time zone and have done everything like I always did in kde3.*

Re: can not get time to stay set

After you boot, instead of setting the date in KDE get a terminal and run

sudo date MMDDhhmm

That sets the system clock rather than the GUI clock. This gets written to the hardware on shutdown. After that your problem will be gone.

Thanks for the info, but it doesn't work. System time is OK, but kde time is 5 hours behind.

FYI..........it must have been something wrong with the upgrade from Hardy to Jaunty. I noticed on grub that it said that I was still logging into Hardy but Jaunty always appeared upon login.

I D/L'd the Jaunty cd and did a clean install with reformat to ext4 and no more problems.
