I just installed Ubuntu 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux on a DESKTOP Dell Optiplex GX620.
The hwclock command doesn't work. The system says "select() to /dev/rtc to wait for clock tick timed out". Also I had some pretty weird messages during installation about my battery being low; not sure if that's related. I think it's all the same problem, and I bet it's in /dev/rtc. -- Ubuntu corrupts real time clock on some dell laptops https://launchpad.net/bugs/43745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
