XCFE clock is losing time


I've noticed the clock on the Pandora lose time. I've been running about 15 minutes slow for a few days. Not got any worse.
That's kind of weird. Did you just suddenly notice it was 15 minutes off all of the sudden, or has it gradually gotten that way? I've found mine slips a little bit over time, something around 5 minutes a month or so. It's not a perfect clock, but it shouldn't just suddenly lose 15 minutes.
one jump. I think it would have been as a result of a Pandora-Power restart.


@FaeMinx - You're welcome.
 
I for myself prefer to use "rdate" to using ntp:


"/usr/bin/rdate -s <time.server.name>"


Replace <time.server.name> with a time-server-name near your location.


Note: There are two versions of rdate installed. "/usr/bin/rdate" and "/usr/sbin/rdate"


I recommend to use "/usr/bin/rdate" as it has more options.


I wrote myself a mini-script that I can run by pressing a hotkey. By using the hotkey usb-connection is launched, dropbear started (ssh) and with a little delay the time set with rdate.
