Correcting my clock in rc.conf?[SOLVED]

It's been wrong for quite a while but had bigger problems and didn't really bother. Now, finally, I got Arch running nice with most stuf working fine so I want to fix my clock. Iv'e tr ied setting it to "Europe/Stockholm" which made it two hours later when I want it like 8 hours earlier. I also saw there was an "GMT-0" option so I tried a GMT-8 without success. It only changed it 2 hours. I have "localtime" set. What can I do?
/Richard

I found this online: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/time.html
try this (taken from the site)
# Run ``date MMDDhhmm'' to set the current system date/time.
# Type ``/sbin/hwclock --systohc [--utc]'' to set the hardware clock.

Good evening.
I'm from Ausria as well and these settings work perfectly well for me.
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command

IDVD is producing DVDs which chop the edges off my video. I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 but it hasn't helped. My TV is definitely on the correct settings. How can I solve this?

iDVD is producing DVDs which chop the edges off my video. I have tried changing the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 but it hasn't helped. My TV is definitely on the correct settings. How can I solve this?

One way to to put the videos into an iDVD slideshow
and set iDVD's Slideshow preferences to always scale slides to TV Safe Area.
However, some users have reported that the audio quality using this method is lessened. I've not noticed it but then I don't have a good ear when it comes to that sort of thing. If you add more than one video in the same slideshow do not select any transition.

Error Message:"Cannot find or create the font 'WP-MathA'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Who can help me solve this problem?

Some of the pdf files I work with (receive) come up with a comment: “Cannot find or create the font ‘WP-MathA’. Some characters may not display or print correctly.” Who can help me solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hello Anubha,
I am having a similar problem on my machine. I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1. I am using Version 11 of Reader.
When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says: cannot find or create the file Times, Bold. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document. Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print. Can you please help? Thanks.

Creation of Functional, Minimal, and Correct Xorg.conf [SOLVED]

Being fairly new to GNU/Linux in general, and totally green in doing things myself, I foolishly avoided the building of an xorg.conf. Following the beginner's guide in the wiki, I just did an "xorg --configure" which created a base xorg.conf for me. It worked, and I noticed no problems in the general use of my window manager (xmonad). I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300.
I discovered today that I was using the radeonhd driver which was giving me terrible performance in OpenGL applications, so edited xorg.conf to revert back to the plain radeon driver. Upon restarting X, my performance problems were gone, but my fonts in the Firefox interface devolved... I have taken this a wakeup call to actually write a good xorg.conf and to understand what everything in it is for.
I have done plenty of configuration, though I have never before looked into editing the dreaded xorg.conf, coming from Ubuntu, so I know very little. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Specifics:
What parts are necessary?
How do I get the fonts I had before back?
Graphics is all that concerns me, I have no strange input devices, and my touchpad works fine (I configured the fdi files for that).
I will list my current xorg.conf below. Fonts worked before I changed the driver from radeonhd to radeon and enabled the option for EXA. Before these changes, all the text contained therein was created automagically by xorg. I have a feeling most of this is unnecessary.

X searches all of the directories that you had in your original xorg.conf file, and it will load whatever it needs automatically. I don't think your problem is specifically with xorg.conf (or lack of), I think what you're seeing is the DPI changing between drivers.
Try this with each driver loaded and see if they're different:
xdpyinfo | grep resolution
Ah, yes indeed!
radeonhd: 96x96
radeon: 129x127
How do I get X with the radeon driver to use 96x96?
EDIT: Adding a dpi argument of 96 to /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc fixed the problem. I didn't occur to me that the two drivers would use different dpis.
Thank you so much!

Cannot enable wget in pacman.conf(solved)

Pacman does not recognize wget in /etc/pacman.conf....
[root@n6re ~]# pacman -Scc
error: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 19: directive 'xferCommand' noted.
[root@n6re ~]#
Attempting to eliminate pacman's filling of my /root partition during full system download I attempted to use wget to aid in downloading. The result is noted above.
My root partition is filled...used
pacman -Scc
once but the problem repeated. Some users use wget to solve the problem so I tried that .
Attempted to use:
pacman -Q |less
The same error concerning wget occured again and no display of installed packages ensued.
So for the present cannot state which pacman version I have installed.
Will restore /etc/pacman.conf to original condition and report further on this problem.
Last edited by lilsirecho (2009-10-10 06:19:32)

Thanks for the sharp eye.
Reset my modem, re-installed pacman and corrected the pacman.conf entry for wget.
All is well again....

Grub failing to read newest grub.conf [Solved]

I have been working on installing archlinux and xen to run a xenserver with archlinux as my dom0. The installation of the grub went fine. A potential problem was me trying to install grub to my boot partition the first time on accident. Following are the commands I used to install grub.
# grub-install /dev/sda1
As you'd expect, I was informed that installing this way was a bad idea, and that the installation would not continue. I meant to use the following command instead:
# grub-install /dev/sda
Which completed successfully.
After that, I created the grub.conf
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.config
Completed successfully.
The actual output of these commands are exactly what I would have expected from them. If desired, I can post the output, but they were what would be expected form a successfully completed command.
After running through the installation and creation of the grub.conf file, I rebooted and was presented with the grub menu selection screen. While the xen entry was certainly found and put in the grub.conf (which I checked afterwords), there were only two entries: Archlinux and Archlinux booting from the backup ramfs. Thinking that this may have been the correct behavior for a server that is running a baremetal hypervisor, I choose the normal Archlinux entry and was greeted with an error screen informing me that a UUID for a partition that does not exist was not able to be found. Trying the bakup archlinux entry gave me the same result.
I am now unable to boot the system. Rebooting into live media, remounting partitions, arch-chroot into the /mnt directory, and reinstalling grub and recreating the grub.conf file has gotten me nowhere.I have several questions about this:
Is it possible that the UUIDs and grub.conf from my previous install could have been preserved somehow? The previous install used gpt partitioning while this one used mbr.
Is there something that I am missing to get grub to create the file and use it?
Do special procedures have to be followed to clear gpt formatted disks before using mbr?
Last edited by ephreal (2015-03-15 05:42:40)

Having no luck, I looked into syslinux a bit and gave it a try, and am now booting just fine. This doesn't solve the initial issue of having grub consistently show the wrong UUID, but it is a workaround.
Thank you Head_On_A_Stick for the clarification.
EDIT: The information for setting up xen with syslinux was found here and here. I'd just like to remind anyone using syslinux for the first time that the default root partition is /dev/sda3 and has to be changed in the config file. Got me 5 times in a row!

OS X keeps "correcting" the clock

Hi.
While being an exchange student i Lynnwood WA, i bought a Macbook Pro 13". And now, after moving back to Denmark, I can't make it show the correct time.
I've tried this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2538
But at step 4, there isn't a folder called "localtime" but a shortcut to a file in "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe"
And deleting the shortcut, dosen't solve the problem.
I've even tried manually setting the time but the next day the clock have reset and is once again 1 hour ahead

Have you tried changing different things in preferences?
In the "Language & Text" preference under Formats, make sure the correct region is selected.
In the "Date & Time" preference try unselecting the automatic option in both Date & Time and Time Zone. Or make sure the proper region is selected in both.
If all that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Other slight possibility is that your PRAM battery has problems. However, I'm not sure how to fix that. I'd call apple for that.

How to Correct Dashboard Clock?

The clock on my Dashboard and the time in the top righthand corner of my screen have been about 17 minutes late ever since I bought my MacBook. The Dashboard clock is set to the correct geographic location. How do I correct this?

Peter:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try clicking on the clock on the menu bar and lauch Date and Time Preferences. Make sure Set Date and Time automatically is checked. The dropdown menu should have Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com) selected. Change the time manually, if you need to. If it still wants to regress to being slow I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them take a look. There is no charge for looking.

Override CFLAGS and CXFLAGS from /etc/makepkg.conf [solved]

This might be a stupid question, but here goes: if I redefine variables such as CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS from within a PKGBUILD, any subsequent make would use the new ones rather than the ones defined in /etc/makepkg.conf ...right? I'm assuming that makepkg reads them once when the user invokes it.
Thanks.
Last edited by graysky (2011-01-15 11:58:58)

Thanks. I looked at /usr/bin/makepkg and I believe this is the case, but I don't know of a way to check after I compile them. Is there some place I can look within the final NAME.tar.xz to see which CFLAGS were used? (Again, I think the answer here is "no").

I receive email as expected.

If you still have errors I would think that your e-mail config files might be wrong, but your error message is very strange. So maybe something wrong with permissions. I'm afraid I'm just guessing.
To be clear.
Each command
systemctl start [email protected]
generated an e-mail message.
None of
systemctl status [email protected]
commands generated any e-mail messages.

Dhcpcd overriding /etc/resolv.conf, 'nohook resolv.conf' [solved]

hello.
I set dhcpcd not to override the /etc/resolv.conf file:

nohook lookup-hostname
noipv4ll
nohook resolv.conf <----------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, this has no effect:
[root@ jenia]# cat /etc/resolv.conf

As you can see dhcpcd ovveride the /etc/resolv.conf file.
How can I avoid this? How can I change the file and make the changes permanent.
Thanks in advance.

yes. exactly. i removed and used a text editor to make the necessary changes to a file of the same name (/etc/resolv.conf).
now the changes remained.

IPhone World Clock doesn't show the correct times

How do I get the iPhone to show the correct World Clock times. I have the time zone set to San Diego and the clock time is correct. When I set San Diego as one of the World Clock times it shows a time 7 hours behind. New York is 4 hours behind instead of 3 hours ahead, the same 7 hour bust.

emr1100 ,
Have you tried resetting the phone.? Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button until it restarts. If that doesn't work, try a restore....please back up your data with a sync before you restore the phone. If that doesn't work take it back to the Apple stor and let them take a look at it. They will fix it or give you another phone. Another idea...call AT&T to see if sometining can be "reset" on their end. You never know ...that might work also.

Workflow not trigerring for Clock-in/clock new entries or corrections

Dear All,
I am using the workflow ws12300111 template for clock-in/clock out for approval to manager. Is this appropriate one or anything else is available, whenever i raise request for the clock-in/clock out change in ess a new request is getting generated in UWL of MSS but it is not showing the clock-in/clock out change request for approval.
Regards,
Rajasekar.

It is the correct WF, as there is no other wf available for it
You need to use the report RPTCORAPP
In order to approve the request you have to use the back end report. It
can approve the requests with the work flow as well.
We would recommend you to use the
report for the clock in clock correction approval as there is no
specific I view available for this as it might be cumbersome for the

Doubt Clock-In/Clock-Out Corrections

Hi,
We are implementing ESS/MSS on EHP5.
I have a doubt when configuring Clock in/Clock out corrections. In SPRO "Clock-In/Clock-Out Corrections->Define Processing Processes", I left checked only the option "Corrections Have to Be Approved".
So I started the tests. I logged on with ESS user, made a correction e saved. After that I logged on POWL with the MSS user (who is the managet of the employee whose made de correction) and the entry was there. I approved, run the report RPTCORPOST and the entry was saved in TEVEN (IT 2011) table. That was perfect!!!
I went throught the second test, now with manager performing the correction for his employee. I logged with MSS user, selected the employee, made the correction and saved. In my mind, if the manager is correcting a clock-in/clock-out, it should be approved automatically. So, I run the report RPTCORPOST and the entry wasn´t saved in TEVEN (IT 2011) table. I thougth that weird, and i decided to check if the entry could be in POWL. I went to POWL and the entry was there, waiting to be approved.
The question is: Shouldn´t the entry be automatically approved when the manager performs a correction for his employees?
Thanks
Bruno

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I will notifiy my customer that this behaviour is an enhance.
As a suggestion for the future ESS/MSS version, the solution could allow setup this configuration.
Thank you again.
Bruno.
