[Bug 16345] Re: hwclock -r fails on Dell Precision 670 due to rtc driver, use genrtc instead?
Works for me now on Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-19). Appears that Ubuntu doesn't use any rtc modules now (lsmod | grep rtc shows nothing). So no need to re-open. -- hwclock -r fails on Dell Precision 670 due to rtc driver, use genrtc instead? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 16345] Re: hwclock -r fails on Dell Precision 670 due to rtc driver, use genrtc instead?
I still have this problem on a Dell Optiplex 745 with the latest kernel (2.6.22): uname -r 2.6.22-14-386 sudo hwclock -r select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out Works with --directisa option as mentioned elsewhere: sudo hwclock -r --directisa --utc Wed 02 Apr 2008 11:21:40 BST -0.855465 seconds So should this bug be re-opened?? P.S. I've seen elsewhere about adding the directisa option to HWCLOCKPARS in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh (and I guess hwclockfirst.sh as well). Is this a sensible workaround to do? When are these run (every boot or e.g. only when using NTP?)? I don't seem to have any issues with my time being wrong as is. -- hwclock -r fails on Dell Precision 670 due to rtc driver, use genrtc instead? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
