Time is off at every boot

Oh, and to fiddle with the KCM for date and time, you have to

kdesudo systemsettings

That module doesn't self-elevate properly.

I think that should be europe.pool.ntp.org.

Is your hardware clock still set to the correct UTC?

Hi Steve, I thought of that as well and changinging the timeserver to: europe.pool.ntp throws a "cannot authenticate" error. (Forgot to mention that in my first post )

There used to be a "set dailight savings time automaticly" function or sinilar which one could deactivate. That was a long time ago and I can't seem to be able time find it anymore.

Hm. The US, Canada, and a number of little nearby island nations switched to daylight time on Sunday 10 March. All our clocks moved an hour ahead. Normally, computers handle this on their own (*). But IIRC, you're on the other side of the planet, so this shouldn't be affecting you yet?

(*) One time in Remond (**), we shipped an update for Vista to update its set of timezone rules. The version of the update for Australian English actually missed all the US-related changes. That means people in Australia would be given incorrect information about what time it was in the US. Sheesh. One of our Australian systems engineers publicly ridiculed SteveB in front of a 5000-person internal meeting for shipping crappy updates with such silly mistakes. He became an instant hero. But not for long.

(**) I'm going to start using this phrase to introduce every Microsoft story I tell.

The title says it all.

At every boot my computer time is off by an hour and I have to reset it at avery boot.

This started a few days ago and am not sure why.

What an I missing?
