http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi all, I've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up )) Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings cheers (HowTos)

Dear Members of this Forum, I hope this is the right direction for such a question.

I prefer to have the time set to 12-h. America/NewYork ist the Timezone, so EDT. I am logged in to Fedora 17, the time says Sat 5:15PM. That is perfect. But if i use terminal to install something or such things, the time shows in 24-h format. At the login screen of fedora, the time is also set to 24-h.

I have a triple boot system. Windows 7 and Fedora 14 are on the first disk (/dev/sda). Fedora 18 is in /dev/sdb. The old grub on /dev/sda can successfully boot Fedora 18. (I copied over the vmlinuz and initrd entries from Fedora 18 grub.cfg to the old grub entry and it works).

However, the two fedora installations do not agree on a system time.

I had a time drift issue on a server which I fixed - it was not syncing the hwclock so that on a reboot ntp would be more than 1000 seconds off and never sync time.

While investigating the problem I noticed that ntpd was synchronizing to Local(0) regularly.

Is there any reason to have ntpd configured to sync to Local(0) when this server is never going to be used as a

Today I decided to log in Windows 7 to kill some blood dragons in Skyrim. However, I noticed that the date and time in Windows was incorrect . I edited it and then played the game. But after I switched back to SolusOS, the date and time in SolusOS became incorrect.

Hello,Lately the time on my computer gets getting screwed up, setting itself to UTC instead of local time. I have to change it manually each time. Setting the option "Set time and date automatically" doesn't work very well. Most of the time, it says "Unable to contact time server".

I have a DMZ machine that i wish to sync to a time source ().pool.ntp.org. Perimeter Firewall is setup to allow relevant ports through. Obviously local FW on the server is on and configured to allow again, the relevant ports through for time sync. The configurations in the registry have been checked for the windows time service: the server is not a domain member (in DMZ). --i.e.

I am trying to get my Windows 7 Professional Machine to sync time correctly. This laptop is not a member of any domain.

If I try to go to the clock settings, Internet Time tab, and click on "Update Now", it tells me that an error occurred. Misc.

Until recently, we had at work a small cluster of about 20 small Windows servers (which have now all been virtualized). They were all configured to synchronize with the local time server. It was on an 1Gb sub-network in our own DC. I never got them to be less than about 100ms away from each other, which I consider to be an incredibly big difference.

Is that a normal value?
