[solved] Can't set clock right!

Hello everybody,
I have a pretty annoying problem here..
I live in Ottawa, Canada, so my timezone is
Canada/Eastern
So at the localization part of rc.conf, I put:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime"
# USEDIRECTISA: use direct I/O requests instead of /dev/rtc for hwclock
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="yes"
TIMEZONE="Canada/Eastern"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
But now the system clock is set 7 hours later than
the real local time..
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot in advance

pacman -S openntpd
Then add openntpd to your daemons array in your /etc/rc.conf file so it will start with your next boot up, and then
/etc/rc.d/openntpd start
and your clock should be correct.
Right, I had troubles with my clock 2 hours late, I did the openntpd thing and it worked
So thanks Rumor
But my hwclock isn't right...(or is it ?)

  • How can we set Admin rights to access all user mailboxes in IMAP server exchange 2010?

    Hi,
    IMAP is in exchange 2010..
    as per guide:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200730%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    CSV Files for IMAP Migration Batches`
    Use super-user or administrator credentials.   This requires that you use an account in your IMAP messaging system that has the necessary rights to access all user mailboxes.
    In the CSV file, you use the credentials for this account for each row. To learn whether your IMAP server supports this approach and how to enable it, see the documentation for your IMAP server.

    Do you mean assigning a user full access permission to all other mailboxes? If so, we can try the following command:

    A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101      Tips & Tricks
    Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc.
    Once your device has restarted, go to option-display-date and time-update time and set to "automatic"-BB key-save.  That will set your device to your network time.  Once that is set, you should then be able to set the alarm. 
    Let us know how it goes and it's great to have you here!

  • Nokia E51 - Can't set clock alarm tone

    Hey there people!
    My device is Nokia E51, and for some, bizarre reason, I can't set the clock alarm tone.
    When I choose the sub-menu "Clock alarm tone" a list of songs/audio files on the phone is supposed to load.... but nothing there. The phone doesn't even give me any options to choose from. I actually find this quite frustrating and annoying because I'm trying to do something very basic here.
    I've attached a capture.
    Thanks for helpers.

    Well the reason I asked about the large number of audio files is because it appears to be a common bug across many of nokias phones.   When you have a large number of audio files (either on the card or on the phone itself) the phone apparently gets 'confused' and is unable to load up the selection of ringtones or music files to use as a ringtone.
    The only solutions would be to either:
    1)  Delete songs until the ringtone menu goes back to normal
    2)  Do what you have done with copying it to the phone then removing the memory card to be able to select the file.. then reinsert the memory card
    Nokia just needs to get their act together. They should seperate ringtones from the music files.  This way when you go to select a ringtone.. it will ask to either choose a ringtone from a list.. or to select one of your mp3s from a list. This way keeping it seperate.  But that would be extra menus to navigate and people probably wouldnt like it.
    But if they did it that way then they could use the mp3 listings by album, artist, song title, etc to allow people to choose the music files they want as a ringtone.  It would be easier to do that then continually scroll through huge lists

    Hi Mark,
    Safari isn't intended to be an upload client for FTP'ing. For that you'll need a dedicated FTP client like CyberDuck.
    For some reason, on this computer, when I build an HTML file and save it, then open it using safari, I get the source code instead of the rendering of the source code.
    Which editor are you using to do this? I'm guessing TextEdit - if that's the case, use the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option to save the .html file. You'll then be able to save the file with whatever extension you prefer for JavaScript etc.
    want to switch back to the textedit application using COMMAND + tab the application doesn't open up. It remains minimized in the dock
    I know what you mean here and it is a bit frustrating. If you really want to stick with the keyboard you can do Ctrl+F2 then use the arrow keys to select the appropriate window from the Window menu. Normally I just keep the windows on screen and use Exposé to quickly retrieve the window.
    Hope some of that helps.

  • How can I set a right link Aggregations?

    I have a Enterprise T5220 server, running Solaris 10 that I am using as a backup server. On this server, I have a Layer 4, LACP-enabled link aggregation set up using two of the server's Gigabit NICs (e1000g2 and e1000g3) and until recently I was getting up to and sometimes over 1.5 Gb/s as desired. However, something has happened recently to where I can now barely get over 1 Gb/s. As far as I know, no patches were applied to the server and no changes were made to the switch that it's connected to (Nortel Passport 8600 Series) and the total amount of backup data sent to the server has stayed fairly constant. I have tried setting up the aggregation multiple times and in multiple ways to no avail. (LACP enabled/disabled, different policies, etc.) I've also tried using different ports on the server and switch to rule out any faulty port problems. Our networking guys assure me that the aggregation is set up correctly on the switch side but I can get more details if needed.
    In order to attempt to better troubleshoot the problem, I run one of several network speed tools (nttcp, nepim, & iperf) as the "server" on the T5220, and I set up a spare X2100 as a "client". Both the server and client are connected to the same switch. The first set of tests with all three tools yields roughly 600 Mb/s. This seems a bit low to me, I seem to remember getting 700+ Mb/s prior to this "issue". When I run a second set of tests from two separate "client" X2100 servers, coming in on two different Gig ports on the T5220, each port also does ~600 Mb/s. I have also tried using crossover cables and I only get maybe a 50-75 Mb/s increase. After Googling Solaris network optimizations, I found that if I double tcp_max_buf to 2097152, and set tcp_xmit_hiwat & tcp_recv_hiwat to 524288, it bumps up the speed of a single Gig port to ~920 Mb/s. That's more like it!
    Unfortunately however, even with the TCP tweaks enabled, I still only get a little over 1 Gb/s through the two aggregated Gig ports. It seems as though the aggregation is only using one port, though MRTG graphs of the two switch ports do in fact show that they are both being utilized equally, essentially splitting the 1 Gb/s speed between
    the two ports.
    Problem with the server? switch? Aggregation software? All the above? At any rate, I seem to be missing something.. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    If you ran two streams simultaneously, then you should see a difference between a single 1G interface and an aggregate of two 1G interfaces.

    Any help?
    Thank in advance
    EDIT:
    It was my mistake, the truth is that this application can change the background color, but does so in a cumbersome way.
    Each note can change the background color (individually) and to make it globally, you must remove all existing notes and the new notes then take the chosen color :S ...anyway.... issue solved

    It is probably more likely that your imported pictures are just covering the background of the button.
    A picture ring is the better way to go anyways.

    Am I stuck to 800x600 in X Server when running Arch as a VMWare guest, or can I improve my situation?

    Ok. Finally it's working. This is why I love Arch. It forces me to learn.
    The solution:
    Step 1.
    I followed the instructions in X.Org Wiki about obtaining modelines. Sadly, the log file didn't produce anything (probably because I was using the vesa vbe driver). But I followed the next option and got the modeline from Windows tool, Powerstrip.
    "1366x768" 85.476 1366 1436 1579 1792 768 771 774 798 -hsync +vsync
    Step 2.
    Went to the web and fetched all the technical information about this monitor (a Acer X193HQ, that I use as my third monitor). I wanted hsync and vsync ranges, and display size in mm.
    Step 3.
    Edited my configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf) making sure to comment out the last part of the modeline, since I was going to manually add the hsync and vsync ranges.
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    DisplaySize 410 230
    HorizSync 30-80
    VertRefresh 55-60
    ModelName "X193HQ"
    Option "DPMS"
    VendorName "Acer"
    ModeLine "1366x768" 85.476 1366 1436 1579 1792 768 771 774 798 # -hsync +vsync
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "vesa"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Device0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 16
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 16
    Modes "1366x768"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    Step 4.
    Success! X is started in 1366x768 with the vesa drivers with a 60Hz refresh rate.
    Final thoughts
    - With the vmware display drivers (xf86-driver-vmware) I don't get ideal results. For some reason it starts in 1368x768 (yes, 1368!). However xrandr reveals it supports 1366x768, and once I xrandr --size into it, all is fine. Dunno why this happens.
    - It only works in 16 bit depth. 24 or 32 corrupt the screen. I don't know exactly why either. But for the use I plan to give the X server, 16 bit is fine.

  • [solved] Can't set up dual boot Arch + Win 7 on separated disks

    Hello everybody,
    I'm new to this amazing project as I installed Arch just two days ago (and everything works like a charm in linux).
    Anyway I have a problem and I'm very sorry to bother you with another question such this, but I tried everything and I accurately read the wiki.
    The problem is that I can't manage to create a dual boot in grub with Arch on the first sata disk and Windows 7 on the second disk.
    Before trying Arch I used ubuntu 10.10 dual boot with the same Windows 7 on the same secondary disk (the pc is a dell XPS L702X 17' laptop with, of course, dual disk bay) using GRUB2 which was automatically installed during ubuntu installation.
    I tried to chainload windows disk in grub using map command to let windows think it's on the primary disk and not on second one.
    At start I just had "BOOTMGR missing" error, then I put windows disk as primary removing arch disk and I repaired its bootloader: windows could boot then.
    When I substituted disks and tried to boot, Windows 7 loading screen appeared and immediately I had a blue screen of death (or something similar) which anyway disappeared in less than a second (I was not able to read anything from that screen)
    Now, when I try to boot windows either with grub or trying to enable boot straight from second hard drive in BIOS, I receive an error stating that it is necessary to use the windows repair disk to fix problems.
    My question is: how can I finally fix this situation?
    It would be quite important, for me, to not format neither of the disks, and I could even accept to renounce booting windows from grub as it would be ok even changing BIOS priority every time I need to use windows 7.
    I really apologize for my annoying question but I really tried everything I could find without success; sorry for my poor english, too.
    Anyway, this distribution seems just amazing to me! Thanks for your time.
    Luca

    It worked!!! Actually I don't know what changed, I proceeded removing the first disk (arch) WITHOUT, this time, changing the position of the windows disk. I used windows 7 DVD to repair the second disk. It tooks several attempts since it failed without specifying the problem. Eventually, I was able to boot windows 7, everything worked. Then, I plugged the primary linux hard drive and booted into arch, where I used "grub-install /dev/sda" as root. It executed without errors, but when I checked menu.lst file, surprisingly I discovered that it was not changed at all by grub-install.
    Anyway it must have detected windows on /dev/sdb, since I am now able to boot both arch and windows without problems.
    It was a weird situation, but anyway it worked well!! Thank you for the support, I really appreciate!

  • [Solved] Can't make locale right.

    This is my /etc/locale.conf:
    LANG="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    L_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
    This is the output when I write locale
    LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_MESSAGES="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="nb_NO.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=
    I don't want norwegian messages... I have locale-gen'd as root. Why isn't L_MESSAGES set to english?
    I also tried commenting away nb_NO.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, and setting everything to en_GB.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.conf, but then I get these errors:
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
    and everything is set to nb_NO.UTF-8 anyway.... what is happening

    Done, Raynman
    With only en_GB uncommented, and everything set to en_GB, locale -a says
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
    C
    POSIX
    en_GB.utf8
    With both en_GB and nb_NO uncommented, and /etc/locale.conf set as in the first post, locale -a says
    C
    en_GB.utf8
    nb_NO.utf8
    POSIX
    localectl says
    System Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
    LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: n/a
    X11 Layout: n/a
    though. That looks fine, but the messages still are in norwegian :s
    Edit: For example, when trying to run ncmpcpp without mpd running, it says "Couldn't connect to MPD (host = localhost, port = 6600): Oppkobling nektes" Whereas the two last words are norwegian and mean "Connection refused". I guess this goes under LC_MESSAGES.

  • Xorg.conf can't set resolution right everything is blurry

    i just switched from CRT to LCD and it looks really bad.
    DELL 1907FP
    I've set xorg.conf according to the monitor specifications
    resolution is set to monitor's native resolution and the display size is set
    to the one specified in the monitor manual.
    http://www.vladuz976.com/aboutdell.html
    this is my xorg.conf
    http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/NWpuq274.html
    The fonts in all windows and the resolution look really bad. everything seems to be a bit blurry in general.
    Did i set something wrong in xorg.conf?
    what should the DPI be?
    vladuz@box:/etc/X11$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
    resolution: 85x86 dots per inch

    the picture looks a little better now. I set the vertical range from a range to a
    specific value (75.0), looks better now.
    but i get
    xdpyinfo | grep resolution gives 85x86 dots per inch
    isn't that a little low for a 19" 1280x1024 with display size of 380mm 300mm?

  • Reversed image on monitor. How can I set it right?

    My monitor went to reversed image. My two-year old son "worked" at it while I was away. Can not repair it. I didn't find the answer in manuals. Can you me give a piece of advice? Thanks in advance.

    I am sorry, I found the answer myself. Thanks to CaptKevMan
    May be it will be useful for someone else: [command]-[opt]-[ctrl]-[8] is the hot key combo to switch between black on white and white on black.
    Thank you once more
