RE: Really fast clock (diagnosed?)



I think I finally tracked down the why... though I haven't yet confirmed this, nor figured out a fix.

I believe when I switched from apt-get to aptitude it decided I needed acpi functionality. Well, that's all fine and good, but I use APM... so I think now when I wake up after 20 minutes of sleep, APM forwards the clock 20 minutes, and then ACPI does the same thing.

Or perhaps I did something else to get them both running, a setting when I last compiled my kernel perhaps?

Does anyone know how I can verify/fix this problem?

Just adding some information to this, as I'd really like to solve this annoyance!

On wake, this is what's added to dmesg

And it is indeed a problem in KDE and Gnome... and in case it was missed below, it only affects "date" not "hwclock --show"

Is it the system clock ("date") that's running fast, or the hardware
clock ("hwclock --show")?

It's apparently just the system clock ("date")... the hwclock --show stays fine, until reboot when shutdown rewrites it.

And my latest test shows exactly twice as fast while sleeping (13 minutes in sleep set it 13 minutes fast)

Leaving it to do nothing it seems to do fine.

Does this give me some good info to solving the problem?
