[punisher]

[punisher]

Try changing setting to ntp instead of sync from transponder

Nope that did not seem to do anything, I noticed it had update 30 mins or something to them words so I gave it about an hour or so to do its thing.
I may just reflash & see if that cures my problem as I also noticed I have a update sitting their that never seems to update even though I've asked it to 2 or 3 times. The update below has only been their since updating yesterday.

Yes please try re-flashing the box to see if that sorts your problem, and if possible dont restore any settings as that could carry the problem over to the new setup. as for the update, well yes there is a 2.4-144 image but as far as i can see andy has not actually uploaded that version to the server so no idea why it's presenting you with the update.

Scrubbed every thing & started with a fresh flash, done all the online updates & it is as it should be now running sweat as
Cheers for both your input...

with a fresh flash, sync from transponder do not work, now i try with setting to ntp and after 30 mins the time not adjusted, the problem i think is in the usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa ther is not a fil for west africa central

You're correct: that file indeed doesn't exist. I'll make a bugreport about that.
What does

ls -la /etc/localtime

tell you?
In the meantime I suggest you to use another 'GMT +01.00' location.

i have set a time to dublin to have a corect time = to algeria.

 

[Rob van der Does]

OK, good.

I absolutely hate puzzles and don't believe in "magic fixes" so when I noticed that my time was not updated last weekend to GMT +1 hour for summer I wondered why. Answer is simply that anyone who saves off their configuration when updating their box should avoid the file /etc/tuxbox/timezone.xml! The format changed recently and the exact change that got me was this one:

-	<zone name="(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Lisbon, London" zone="[B]Dublin[/B]" />
+	<zone name="(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Lisbon, London" zone="[B]Europe/Dublin[/B]" />

There are around 64 other changes in the file. Anyway replacing with the correct file as distributed with your image will fix all of these problems.
