System clock lose
Re: System clock lose
We are researching the reports about clock lag.
Frequent internet time synchronization is reported to be an acceptable workaround in many cases.

Re: System clock lose
Hi,
any news about the clock lags?
This makes my beloved Fit-Pc2 nearly unusable...
I can't find anything in my logs, the lag just appears suddenly and increases overtime.
Thanks

Re: System clock lose
Has this issue been addressed? Is this a problem on all units, or only on some that are defective?
Re: System clock lose
Not sure about defectiveness but this really happens on many units including mine. I also would like to have a response from the support team if there any other solution than using frequent ntp update.
Re: System clock lose
I had the "clock lose" issue with Ubuntu 9.10. As I also had some network breakdown, I came across this this thread: http://www.fit-pc2.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 08&start=0
So I went in BIOS and set "Processur full speed" to "GV3 Only". It was about two weeks ago and since, my clock problem has disapeared.

Re: System clock lose
As option you can periodically synchronize system clock to HW RTC.
Set the correct system clock:
Set hardware clock from system clock:
Edit system crontab file:
Add this line to update system clock from hardware clock each 5 minutes:
Set the correct system clock:
Code: Select all
sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org
Code: Select all
sudo hwclock -w
Code: Select all
sudo crontab -e

Re: System clock lose
it has been nearly 6 months since last meaningful update on the clock problem. what's the current status and prognosis for a fix?
Re: System clock lose
i'm astonished and confused that this debilitating defect has not been fixed for so long. i'm afraid i have to move my recommendation from "wait" to "do not purchase", disappointing for a product with such massive potential
Re: System clock lose
We could not reproduce the problem in BIOS on several units that reported to exhibit it, so the HW RTC is assumed to keep the time correctly - at least until further evidence of the problem.
