[linux-audio-user] Re: ripping a cd slows my clock and my modem

Please do copy any data cdroms to disk. Does the clock slow down then? What mainboard you have? I have no idea why the clock slows down in my computer (MSI mainboard), but here is my fix to the problem: /etc/crontab: 01 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime 11 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime 21 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime 31 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime 41 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime 51 * * * * root hwclock -s --noadjfile --localtime I have also commented out the following line in /etc/init.d/halt: runcmd $"Syncing hardware clock to system time" /sbin/hwclock $CLOCKFLAGS The fix won't help with modem, sorry. Do you have MS Windows in the same computer? Does the clock slow down there? Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software
