Blanking problem same as USM GUI with gtkdialog. Was supposed to have made a settings module in /tmp, but after blank-out, nothing there.

2nd Attempt: After cold boot clicking clock icon switch did nothing, except sending cpu up to 100%. Had to pkill gtkdialog.

I can change time zone but it doesn't survive reboot. I use razor desktop.

Bogoimps please change your distribution section in your profile to which desktop you are using. Are you starting the 'time config' from the Porteus Settings Centre?

mt12345 were yuo asked to make a module after altering your time in the time config? Are you using the lastest version of Porteus?

I was not asked.
I use Porteus 3.0 installed recently but not updated (upgraded?) because I still have this error:

/usr/share/usm/funcpackageGet: line 127: declare: 234K: value too great for base (error token is "234K")

when trying to install anything.

Actually changes are saved, the problem lies elsewhere.
It's 23:42 (BST), hardware clock is set to UTC - 22:42, however:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ date -u
Mon Jul 21 21:42:28 UTC 2014
guest@porteus:~$ date                     
Mon Jul 21 22:42:29 BST 2014
