That's good

Did you boot into Windows, first, to set the time correctly? This is an
essential step.

Was this really the correct time when you ran the command? Looking at
the NNTP headers, it looks like this was two hours ahead of where it
should be.


Please would you reboot into Windows and set the time correctly. Then
reboot into Linux and repeat the four commands for me. Also, please
would you indicate what the time really is (I forgot to ask for that
last time!)

Thanks
Chris

Hi again,

I have rebooted the laptop and selected Windows. Time in Windows was the
right one (12:50). Then a I have rebooted into Linux, and... the time
was also right now !! (12:53). So I have shut down the laptop, and then
I have booted it again into Linux and the time is still right 12:55.

Now it's 13:01 and these are the outputs to:

date:
thu apr 10 13:01:47 CEST 2008

date -u:
thu apr 10 11:01:50 UTC 2008

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --localtime
thu 10 apr 2008 13:02:03 CEST -0.885838 seconds

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --utc
thu 10 apr 2008 15:02:08 CEST -0.617001 seconds

I wish tomorrow time will be still coherent between Windows and Linux.

Thanks and best regards

Excellent. Looks like we've solved it, then.

But of course :-)

The problem is definitely solved. I have boot with Windows and with
Linux, and I get always the right time.

Thanks Chris for your time, I appreciate it a lot.
