Re: [newbie] Time Setting
Have you run through the Time Wizard in Mandrake Control Center? If so, did you have to change anything to get the correct time? Yes. MCC's depiction of the current time is the correct one. From KDE's clock, I then do Adjust Date and Time'; that launches kcmshell, which needs the root password. Previously, that command resulted in no output. Now it displays a dialog similar to the drak time wizard, so it could well be the same program, but it has a different idea of the time zone. It told me that I was in EDT with no time zone selected. How it got that idea, I haev no clue, as it was correct when I lauched KDE. But to fix it - I had to select the proper timezone in that dialog, and click the check box in KDE's clock (show timezone) to local rather than America/Los Angeles. Now it is showing the correct time, unless it really thinks it's 8:43 AM now :). Brant Fitzsimmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] David E.

[newbie] Time Setting
I know this has been covered here before, but all of a sudden my time setting resets every time the computer boots or reboots. I've used the KDE control panel, the Mandrake control panel and the command line to reset the time to no avail. This happened all of a sudden a couple of days ago. Could it be that my motherboard battery has died? Although, the calendar setting is OK. Rich -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

During installation I always choose No GMT or whatever the option actually states. Found this out back when using MDK 8.0. But I've found that with MDK 9.0 changing the date/time by right-clicking the clock in the panel stuffs it all up again! Use MCC System Date Time to reset the date/time AND the timezone fixes the problem. I don't know how to change this setting after installation. IIRC using MCC as above to change your timezone gives you the No GMT option again.
