Kernel system timer problem

I recently installed Rosegarden midi-sequencer on my arch system. I am having a problem now which I think is linked to the Kernel System Timer being 250HZ in the kernel, when Rosegarden need's it at 1000HZ.
Everytime I start up Rosegarden, I get message that says the kernel system timer is too low. When I record some guitar parts into an audio track, it records fine, but when I go to playback the track I just recorded, Rosegarden gives me another error where I can't play the track back and I have to restart Rosegarden to get sound to playback. This will be an endless cycle of recording and not getting to hear playback from recorded tracks.
Do I have to customize my kernel to set the kernel system timer to 1000HZ? If so, how do I customize that one thing in the kernel? I have not yet built a custom kernel.

I have rosegarden working without the error. The problem was I had archck installed, but didn't setup my lilo.conf correctly to load the archck kernel. All is well with that now.
My only problem now is getting jack-audio-connection-kit working in realtime as a user in the audio group. I checked the wiki 'Realtime for Users", and changed the settings like it says... no dice. It seems others are having this same problem. I hope I can get this working soon, I'm so close to have a nice DAW on Arch.

X301 post BIOS / Model Number update System Time problems

Dear community,
I recently updated my BIOS using the thinkvantage flash BIOS utility for no reason other than it appeared on the update utility. I also updated the model number, once again for no real reason other than update pleasure. Now, everything works perfectly fine on the system, and I have no problems EXCEPT:
I use New York Times Adobe Air product called "Times Reader". Since the update, when I try to log into the Times Reader I get an error that states "Authentication Error. Check that your system time is set correctly." In the pre-boot set up screen the time seems to be set right, and in the windows utility the time is set correctly. So my questions is,
after a BIOS flash / Model # update, does the system time function need some re-boot / update?
Thanks!

Well I still dunno what the problem was. It seemed as if the system would have to be running for a day or two before it would start to speed up, as if it was actually gaining a few milliseconds cumulatively every second...
Anyway, through other testing (OC & such) I flashed to 1.5B5 and it is running pretty good, and seems to have fixed the time problem.
On a side note, 1.5B5 is the first BIOS that actually makes Cool 'N Quiet work (to underclock to 1GHz at idle & dynamically OC when needed).
If anyone has experienced this time issue, please post findings! For now, it's fixed for me, so I'm not going to worry about it

Further info needed on the System Time Problem when using Bootcamp

Hi, my query is an extension on the previously reported problems and fix with the Sytem Time being incorrect when using Bootcamp.
As respected user 'SideStepSociety' very helpfully pointed out and posted in another thread, the cure for this problem is as follows:-
In Windows, try this:
Run > RegEdit  
Find: HKEYLOCALMACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > TimeZoneInformation
  Add key ( REG_DWORD type ): RealTimeIsUniversal  
Double-click and set value to 1
However, unless I'm mistaken I have seen somewhere that the key type 'REG_DWORD' is 32-bit based and I am running Windows 7 x64 (64-bit) Bootcamp, therefore do I have to enter the QWORD 64-bit type key i.e. 'REG_QWORD' instead of the DWORD 32-bit type key i.e. 'REG_DWORD', or is it perfectly acceptable and fine to just enter both to cover myself should any of the components revert from 64-bit to-32 bit? ..which I have experienced happening once with Windows 'Gadgets' which normally always runs 64-bit, but once reverted to 32-bit.
Advice appretiated, thanks.

Thanks for advice.
I had gone ahead and entered the DWORD value in the registry just after my post and a couple of week booting between the two OS's, there were no more problems with the time issue between OS X and Bootcamp.
Shame this most frustrating of little problems where not resolved in a Bootcamp update patch, I had been experiencing this problem for a long, long time not knowing how to fix it and thinking it was my own MacBook Pro that was at fault. I do sympathise now with the possible hundreds or even thousands of Mac-Bootcamp users that are suffering this unbeknown that there's only a special registry fix that has to be manually applied to cure the problem. This is Tacky. I do wonder about Apple sometimes.

System Time error in 10g Servlet Container

I'm having System Time problem with JDeveloper 10g when running under a servlet. The System Time (date/yaer)changes outrageously and constantly.
Here's the code example:
System.out.println(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
I don't have this problem if I run it as standalone application.
Is this a bug?

Time System Advanced Problem Unresolved

Please see the link for a couple of screen shots. I need to know what the alarm is and why it is happenning.
https://homepage.usask.ca/~nmz027/
Background:
I am running Lookout 6.02, which is connected to a Modicon 984 plc. They are linked by a modbus connection.
Problem:
Randomly,
I receive an error in Lookout " System time advanced 03:34:43.532 from
5/10/07 15:42:57 to 05/10/07 07:05:06." During this time Lookout is not
recording any information (trend screens are blank). At the same time
there is a "No communication response from Modbus secondary" alarm.
Does anyone know what is causing the problem?
Some questions I have answered about this problem already:
Do you programmatically change the Lookout system time in your process? (No)
Do you set any Time Servers for your process? (No)
Perhaps it's also because of the Daylight Saving Time. (It is on
but the clock does not automatically update. Plus this should only
cause a problem twice a year, not 5 times a week).
Message Edited by Squire66 on 06-12-2007 01:39 PM

Well it appears that a similar problem exists in ver 6.1. I don't get any alarm or error but the logged data is incorrectly time stamped which makes the hypertrend useless. I can see the Lookout time (lower left of screens) jump ahead 1 hr 11 sec. for a short duration (1-2 minutes) and then return to normal. I've seen it happen twice in succession for a total of 2 min 22 secs. and a few times directly to 2 hrs 22 secs ahead. Problem occurs more than once an hour.
Lookout 6.1 plus latest published patch
CPU is genuine Intel
OS Windows 2000 SP 4
W2K Daylight savings time patch applied.

Timer problems on Linux changing system time and data

On Linux SO,
both with flash player plugin and standalone flash player, setting system time with command:
date -s 11:11:11
hang timers (flash.utils.Timer) immediately!

I notice that updating system time (both with "date -s hh:mm:ss" and through ntpd) with a new time in the future doesn't hang up flash.utils.Timer component.
Contrary, if I update system time with a past new one, flash.utils.Timer stops work immediately!!!
This is huge problem for those interfaces that need to run for a long time and also need to be time updated (for examplem through ntp daemon).
Can anyone help me?
PS: Windows Flashplayer doesn't have this problem !!

TimerThread problem after setting system time

Hi,
We are creating an application where we schedule some jobs in timer thread. Say I have scheduled a job after one hour and in between I have changed the system time. Then timer thread excecutions are not happening properly. While resetting the system time we are restting the JVM time also by Calender.setTime(Date). Please tell me what went wrong in this case.
Thanks in advance,
Champak

Did you check this bug report:
[java.util.Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate() fails if the system time is changed |http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4290274]

This does not reset the jvm time, it sets the time of this calendar instance as described in the javadoc.

Troubleshooting System Recovery Problems

A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

How to create a type of 'alarm event' based on acquired sensor data and system time?

Hello all,
I'm fairly new to LabVIEW and have successfully created a VI that reads voltage data from sensors. Each sensor outputs 2 voltage values and I treat these values as 2 different DBL values. I'd like to be able to record each voltage value as a base and then compare the subsequent data readings with that base. Once the base is determined, I'd like a sort of 'variable' set as "TIME" to be recorded at the moment the base voltage is recorded.
The alarm should occur (or anything Boolean set to TRUE I guess) once the continuously read voltage remains within certain limits for about 2 hours. I know I can compare the system time w/ the "TIME" that the voltage base value was recorded. If the voltage readings escape those limits, I'd like the voltage base value reset and the TIME set to the corresponding system time again.
I apologize in advance if this I haven't' described my problem well, but if anyone could help me figure out the best way to create this code, I would appreciate it much!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ill try to illustrate a couple scenarios:
keep in mind that i dont necessarily want the voltages in these specific ranges, but just a range of +/- 20 mV ... in an above post i refer to a "base" voltage reading, in this case that would be 200 mV for V1 and 400 mV for V2, just because the voltage has shifted to those values for an extended amount of time each (> 2 seconds)
Scenario 1
1:00 pm
Sensor readings
Voltage 1: 200 mV
Voltage 2: 400 mV
between 1:00 and 3:00 pm:
Voltage 1 does not deviate from 180-220 mV range
Voltage 2 does not deviate from 380-420 mV range
at 3:00pm I want an alert/alarm/Boolean to change to 'true'
Scenario 2
1:00 pm
Sensor readings
Voltage 1: 200 mV
Voltage 2: 400 mV
at 1:45 pm:
Voltage 1: 2 mV
Voltage 2: 600 mV
Since the voltage has shifted out of the range, i want the new base voltage to equal whatever it changed to out of the range, and also the time spent within the new range (2 +/- 20 mV and 600 +/- 20 mV, respectively for V1 and V2) would be reset, so a new 2-hour counter would begin

How to set system time from Terminal while booted from 10.6.3 server install disk?

I'm installing from a 10.6.3 server install disc onto a Mac Mini. However, the battery on this Mac Mini is pretty much dead, forcing the system time back to 1/1/2001. Through some research, this has created a problem in that I cannot move beyond the Welcome screen during setup of OS X server. It looks like the binary has issues with the system time being older.
But I'm stuck in that I don't know how to adjust the system time from the Terminal Utility on the boot CD. Can anyone help?

Hey, i just run in to something similar, tonight while trying to fix a computer.
The user set the time and date on his computer to 1998 and computer locked everything including time and date in system preferences, and his user account basicly making him from administrator to guest. he could not almost any program properly that required administrator privilages.
to fix this we used this comand in terminal " sudo date 201703162014 " todays time and date
20:17 03/16 2014
we tryed everything and this fixed in 2 seconds
ps: when you type sudo in terminal it whil give you a warning the improper use of this command is bad.... click continue.otherwhise you will not be able to execute the command.
thanks again for this post and have a great day

How to initialize System time?

Hello everybody.
I'm working with a Siemens TC65.
I work without battery. When I supply the module, I get from System.currentTimeMillis() this value: 1009843232546, which I think corresponds to Tue Jan 01 00:00:32 UTC 2002.
Obviously, I wish to set the correct system time.
Does anybody knows how to set the system time?
Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I am synchronising
my time with an sntp server and setting the tc65 system time
with AT+CCLK.
Unfortunately System.currentTimeMillis() is still showing the old time,
even after waiting up to 10s after AT+CCLK. So how do I get it to show
the new correct time?
Problem is I cannot restart the module everytime the time is set because
I need to listen to incoming data.
Any suggestion would be really helpful. Thanks

How to get system time format in time stamp

Hello All,
I have one problem regarding Time stamp. I want system time stamp format in Time control. If my system date/time format change then automatically my time stamp format should also change.If my system Time stamp format is hh:mm:ss AM/PM dd/mm/yy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same. If System time stamp format hh:mm:ss AM/PM mm/dd/yyyy so in my LabVIEW time stamp format should also same.
So Please help me its a very important for my automation application.
Thank You.

Hi Vinal,
have you tried the FormatDateTimeString function with a standard string indicator and the "%c" formatcode as described in the help instead of the generic timestamp indicator?

How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

Friends,
Can anyone help me with below scenario..
I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
thanks

I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.
