mudmanc4 Posted August 22, 2012 CID Share Posted August 22, 2012 First thing might be , check the CMOS battery. Iv'e installed a new battery, then another new battery both tested at 3v This is the main rsync server for remote servers, and it's connected to a 1500va UPC This past summer we've had several power outages due to storms. Since it's debian I have not looked too far into getting a controled shutdown script . I should , as the UPC has and RS 232 serial connection as does the machine. At any rate each time the system shuts down abruptly, or manually via terminal, the time defaults to the manufacture date. As it would if it had not CMOS battery, but the BIOS does not loose it's settings. Think Iv'e covered it all. Rememberibng there is no GUI on this machine, other then backuppc, and this uses it's own cgi . Anyone have a solution or idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted August 22, 2012 CID Share Posted August 22, 2012 odd issue i've never experienced... i know this isn't a real solution and more of a bandaid but you could always create an init script to update the time/date on startup McDuff426 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith6612 Posted September 9, 2012 CID Share Posted September 9, 2012 Interesting... Did you install anything special to the machine at all that you think may be interfering with the time? If it's not due to CMOS battery or power issues on the board, it definitely sounds like something running on the system itself messing with the time if it isn't in constant update with NTP. Sort of what SOHO routers do when you reboot them but not exactly like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted September 9, 2012 CID Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is the time the only thing effected or are all the cmos settings getting defaulted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 9, 2012 Author CID Share Posted September 9, 2012 Only the time gets defaulted. The machine is used for openfire and backuppc nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted September 16, 2012 CID Share Posted September 16, 2012 Maybe a bug with the bios... Does it only happen on debian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 16, 2012 Author CID Share Posted September 16, 2012 Maybe a bug with the bios... Does it only happen on debian? The board is an MSI K7N2-Delta-6570 , where I used dozens of them in new builds quite some time ago. This is a left over new old stock. So anything could be the issue in the case of non compatibility. Although the machine has been running for roughly 15 months, this just started this past summer. I have one more of the same sitting here, at some point I'll have a use for it and we shall see if this is strictly a debian issue. Although if it is debian, it will be ubuntu and all the rest under debian as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
