Lots of thanks Sethuraj 1 10:55 pm: World clock Its very nice to keep on the desk top.I am very proud. The clocks have all the information needed for people who work on global times. One point with respect to NTP, if the NTP daemon is not restarted and, the BIOS clock has slipped more than a few 100 milliseconds before the network is brought up then, NTP may need several minutes to adjust the system clock’s offset with respect to the NTP server(s) – worst case possibly 20 minutes.Mac/Windows Turn Your Mac/Windows Device Into a Flip Clockįliqlo for Mac/Windows is a clock screensaver that allows you to make your desktop/laptop device screen look like a flip clock. The clock widget can stay on top of other apps, making it easier to keep track of your schedule. I have time zones around the world all on my Desktop.
Once the 3.16.7-24-desktop kernel arrived, this was no longer needed – the clock no longer slips more than a few milliseconds during suspend/resume and the other issues with udev, udisks2 and autofs have also disappeared.
That way if a working network connection exists on bootup(or manually invoked or because of a periodic check) the system will always reset its time from Internet Time Servers and not by the local machine clock which for many reasons might be unreliable.įor a while with openSUSE 13.1/13.2 on this laptop I had a script in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/ which amongst other things (like restarting udev, udisks2 and autofs on resume), stopped NTP on sleeping and restarted NTP on resume – the laptop clock was slipping about 3 seconds during sleep/resume:
