Bitcoin-QT does not like UTC

Hey Archers! This is my first post on here, but I've been using Arch on and off since 2011... just goes to show how good the wiki is lol
Anyway, I'm dual booting Windows 8 (work reasons, unfortunatley) and Arch, so as the wiki suggested, I set both operating systems to use UTC. I originally thought it worked like a charm, but after firing up my Bitcoin wallet (in Arch) I soon discovered it isn't syncing with the network in UTC. If I switch back to America/New_York, everything still works great again. How would I make the bitcoin-qt client work with UTC?
Here is what I did to set UTC:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
And then I tried reindexing the blocks like so:
bitcoin-qt -reindex
But I haven't had any luck

That's odd, we must be reading different wiki pages then, on both the Installation Guide and Time wiki pages, it says the timezone can be set by making a symlink at /etc/localtime that points to the desired zone. Regardless, I checked the hardware clock, and it seems to be set correctly...
timedatectl status | grep local
outputs
RTC in local TZ: no
And this
hwclock
outputs
Fri 11 Oct 2013 04:41:05 AM UTC -0.797325 seconds
So it is definately set in UTC at the correct time. I'm thinking Bitcoin-QT does not like UTC for some reason. The time itself seems to be fine because Windows and Arch both have the same time after either windows or Arch syncs time over the internet.
Thanks for the help cfr, much appreciated.

  • Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all

    Hey guys,
    Got too excited and went out and bought Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - fantastic. Problem is, I have no sound - my Asus Rampage Formula motherboard has no onboard sound as it comes with a seperate sound card which won't work and neither will the cheapy Audigy standard one I bought today to try...
    7 automatically installs some drivers when it detects I have a sound card installed and sticks it in the Device Manager under 'System Devices' and calls it a 'High Definition Audio Controller'
    Now I found the new Win 7 drivers on here and downloaded in the hope of installing and overwriting this 'Hi Def Audio Controller' but when i'm in setup I get the error message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this Setup Program. Setup will exit" which is completely baffling me as Win7 can detect and install this 'audio controller' - when I hover over the volume icon in the taskbar (which incidentally has a red cross over it) it says 'No audio output is installed"
    I'm probably going wrong somewhere, but I don't know if its Win7 or these "Windows 7" drivers don't actually work?
    Please can anyone help?!!

    Re: Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all^ Perhaps you can try this:
    <a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960"]http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960[/url]
    Yes I know that that is a standard driver from Creative. But try to download the driver. Then right click it, and extract it. You can extract it like this if you have WINRAR, WINACE, or WINZIP on your system. Even the free 7-zip will work great.
    Then go to device manager, and then to your unknown device, and then update driver, and then choose "have disk....." and browse to the folder where you unzipped the driver. Then install the driver, allowing it to copy the files over to your system. Reboot. Sound may still not be working at this point. Then try windows update or the Daniel K. pack again. Using this method may seem weird but I am trying to "trick" your system into picking up your Audigy.
    This worked for me before with my x-fi Titanim and my Extreme gamer when I switched to Vista 64.

  • PCI-GPIB does not like returning from computer power-save mode. I need to restart the application. Uggh! Customer not happy.

    It seems volatile memory is lost on the PCI GPIB Card. When the system returns from power-save, I cannot get to my GPIB instruments. I have to close the application and restart it. I've tried unregistering and reregistering the gpib globals and resetting the device interfaces (reissuing the ibdev command) without luck. I am using Visual Basic 6, but I also get the Measurement and Automation Explorer to fail in the same way, so I don't think it is my development environment.

    Can you change your power save settings? What operating system
    are you running?
    Also, some BIOS's have options for power save. For example, recent
    IBM's can be set to maintain power to all peripherals, or only to main
    memory. Of course, you would want it to maintain power.
    I suspect the GPIB board and its driver are completely unable to
    handle power save operation. It probably was never considered while
    it was being designed.

  • JBuilder does not like Canvas3D

    The JBuilder Enterprise GUI Swing design does not like JBuilder it seems.
    If I take my Canvas3D out everything works fine, I can edit the GUI and such...
    If I use Canvas3D inside my main Frame the Designer closes JBuilder. No message or anything, just totally exits out.
    Anyone suggestions?

    Canvas3D is not swing component. So do not use it in Swing GUI Designer.

    Ok, just got the Android 2.2 Froyo update today. My Fascinate does not like it. Nothing works the way it used to, and the "pretty" they put on it does not make up for the pain in the **bleep** it has become. Try to delete single or multiple image and it locks up, takes forever to open some apps. Media scanner will start and will not stop. Shutting down and restarting does not help. Is there any was to go back to the old software that works? Thanks for any help or info. DLS

    I first would try a factory reset and then still unhappy with the results, you have a couple of choices, ask for a replacement or revert to version 2.1, and yes, you can revert but only if you go to Android Central Fascinate forums

  • Running SFTP from script but Task Scheduler does not like part of it.

    Hello,
    I am trying to do some (not so) simple file copying using SFTP in this manner:
     1) Map a drive to the destination, the SFTP program will not accept UNC paths
     2) Use SFTP to copy the files to the target Server
     3) Write a Timestamped entry to a log file
     4) Remove the source files after copy
     5) Remove the drive mapping
    Everything works but Step two and that only fails running from the Task Scheduler (W2K8 R2).  Running from the command line directly in PowerShell or using the Run box works fine all the way.
    The sftp program is BitVise SSH Client using their log utility.  The makes the command line very complicated.
    The line I use in the Scheduler is powershell "D:\Scripts\SFTP_TPCCommission.ps1" Dev  I have also tried using the -command parameter.  Again, it only does not work in the scheduler.
    Here is how I invoke it:
    $CmdLine = "`"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\`" sftpc " + $Server + " -pk=1 -cmd=`"put -o -lf Z:\" + $File + " /TPCCommissions`""
    & log ($CmdLine)
    I have also tried a Here String to do the same thing.  It works the same way.
    $ArgText = @"
    "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc $Server -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\$File /TPCCommissions"
    Any ideas?

    In a batch file or at the command (not PS) line the command structure looks like this:
    log "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc <user@server> -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\<Source> /<Destination>"
    The double slashes are requirement of the log program which calls the sftpc program with its command structure.
    The double-quoted section after "-cmd=" is required.  The Z: drive is mapped because the SFTP program does not support UNC paths. (Stupid, but that is all I have to work with.
    What you see in my post is just the part giving me trouble.  I am using PS to keep track of what I am copying to the destination and removing from the source and creating a timestamped log of that activity.
    As to the comment about Task Scheduler, I am using it.  Like I said, it all works fine from anywhere but the Task Scheduler.

  • AirPort really does not like 2wire...please help!

    Hi,
    I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.6 and I can't connect to the internet! When I first got my iBook (about 3 weeks ago), I could connect to the internet wirelessly no problem (well, only if it either had no WEP key, or had to put a $ infront of the WEP key), but now it doesn't work either way!
    EDIT (More info): My AirPort does detect the network, and it says it's connected when I try to connect it, yet when using Safari gives me the "not connected" message. When I use the network diagnostics and go through the steps, and restart the router like it says, that doesn't work anymore. (It used to work, along with the things mentioned in the first paragraph.)
    Right now I'm using the family PC (gah) and I set the 2wire router to not have a WEP key. I even downloaded and transferred the driver to connect using the ethernet cable. Nope, not working.
    I know there are other threads regarding AirPort/2wire issues, but none of them help (not until now). So could someone please PLEASE help me with this? I would consider you a saviour and send you chocolates. :3
    Thank you (and sorry about the last bit),
    Andrew
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Orzei, I checked the 2wire site and, boy I have to tell you!, you have an old router from 2wire, they don't even sell it anymore (check here for the current models). It is 802.11b, which was the standard like 5 years ago, before the 802.11g replaced it (and it may be in the near future threathened by the 802.11n, but that's not for sure).
    Anyhow, I found it on eBay and in some other sites and I'm not surprised it does not support WPA, it doesn't even support the "strongest" (use this word carefully) of WEP, but only mild immitations of wireless security.
    You should definitely change it, and the easiest way would be trying to talk to your ISP, they may change (read "Update to a new one") your router for a fee. Or, if this is not possible you may want to sell it. If you ever want to sell it, you may get about 30 USD, e.g.. That plus another 20 should get you another router.
    As you already know, not all routers double as an ADSL modem and wireless routers, so this should be a factor when getting one (almost all of the current 2wire routers are 802.11g and WPA capable).
    Good luck on changing your router.

  • RTX DUALphone 4088 does not like MS account

    Hi,
    I just bought the RTX DUALphone 4088
    I already have a micrsoft account which I use as my skype id. It is my premium paid account
    The problem is this phone does not accept MS acount as it has an @ in the login id. Nor does it accepts the corresponding live id as it has a : (colon) sign. It errored out as illegal character when trying to login. Any idea how to make it working? I have created a temp id, it works fine. But my MS one is my premium paid account. I would like to use this one. Any help?
    thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, resolved.
    It was to do with the password on the Skype name part of the account that begines with "live:"
    In the Skype control panel Account settings there is an option to set up for TV & Phone.
    In there you can see the Skype name assigned to your account and there is an option to create a password to be associated with this account, this does not need to be the same as your Live/Hotmail account.
    Once you have set this the phone appears to work.
    FYI I also updated to the latest firmware before doing this so this may have resolved the issue with the : being in the Skype name.
    This is the first time I have started to use Skype so this is a bit confusing and from other posts it appears to have been around for a while, it would have been useful if they put an FAQ together!
    Cheers
    Dave

  • IMac does not like being connected and shuts down

    A white 17-inch iMac belonging to relatives of mine has started to behave rather oddly. In particular it does not seem to like to be connected to anything. Once when set to run in Fire Wire–hard drive mode it had just shut down and restarted itself in normal mode. And now when I try to start it with an Ethernet cable connected it just turns black shortly after the start signal. If the cable is removed it starts as it should (most of the time anyway – sometimes I have had to pull the power plug for a while or do a PRAM reset).
    In addition, once when I pressed the switch on the back to start it up there were repeated soughing sounds, as if it tried to start over and over again. When the power plug had been removed and reconnected the Imac started directly, without the switch being pressed.
    Finally, once when I tried to wake it up from sleep mode it shut down too. What is wrong with it?

    So, I tried the old ADSL modem and router again, and now the iMac seems to work fine and connects to the Internet without problems. (The reason this equipment was exchanged in the first place, some month or two ago, was that somebody felt that new technology should be used, something by means of which your telephone calls too are transmitted over the Internet. Well, obviously it did not work, at least not with this piece of junk that Telia (our previously national Swedish telephone company) sent.)
    Now the only thing is that although the iMac seems to work fine obviously some damage has been done to it, since for example it shut down from target disk mode (without any Ethernet cable being attached). I do not really know how to address that.

  • Reverse proxy plugin does not like the POST method

    My second tier is not functionning properly when placed behind a S1WS6 with reverse proxy
    Client ====== SunOne web server with Passthrough ====== .NET app server & web services.
    The web server configuration (reverse proxy � libpassthrough.so) is configured and is working correctly when it comes to requesting normal pages, however a problem arises when the request is made either by:
    1- Invoking a web service on the .Net tier, or
    2- The .Net tier performs a server.transfer call within the same .net server (Page transfer)
    Keep in mind that the .Net tier works fine when not accessed through the reverse proxy.
    It seems that when a POST method is invoked, a Session Close is sent before data is sent back !!
    We tried to isolate the problem from different angles but came up short, the http server log shows that the request was made
    192.168.2.7 - - [14/Jul/2004:14:10:56 +0300] "POST /wavedms2.0/TestWebService/TestService.asmx HTTP/1.1" 100 0
    Although response 100 indicates that it is waiting for more, while the web service error shows the following:
    The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.HttpWebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)

    at TestWebService.oWebService.MyWebSvc.HelloWorld()
    at TestWebService.Form1.button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    In general, any page that uses POST method faces the same problem.I appreciate any help you can provide us with a solution on this issue.

    The Application Server plugin, libpassthrough.so, was designed to connect Web Server to Application Server. Unfortunately, it does not work with IIS which sends unsolicited "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" responses.
