[Bug 436535] Re: Live CD changes hardware clock

2010-03-26 Thread Norm Pierce
This bug was not present in Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04. In the Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD there are no K*hwclock* links in the /etc/rc?.d/ directories, which is correct, so /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh doesn't get called with "stop", and the hardware clock is not changed. When Ubuntu 8.10 is installed, K25hwclock.sh

Thanks for the results from the script. Agreed, usplash needs to be fixed to properly resolve this bug. It was helpful for me to know if the script left things in a working state or not, which is why I asked if it temporarily fixed the problem. Looking at the results, I see that nine of the sixt

Peter, yes this is a weird one. When you say that text "suddenly has the right colors after executing the first command," I am assuming that you are refering to text already on the screen. The unusual characters after the first command are normal, since this changes from a 256-character font to a
