Extremely weird. Here I thought that BOINC was using the system clock & the time zone in the OS you are using. Yet is it? If you look at my computers, which are in the same room, spaced apart by about 2 metres, it would seem we have a time zone divider running through the flat, right inbetween the two computers as well. ;) The Windows box runs at UTC + 1 hour, while the Linux box runs at UTC + 2 hours. Both computers show the correct time that it is right here, both are running on GMT + 2 hours in the OS settings. (We're in the Netherlands) Did I find a new time zone? ;) ---------------------- Jordâ„¢ [url=http://www.boinc.dk/index.php?page=user_statistics&userid=41965] |

I think Windows works with Local time (which is for Netherlands GMT+1+1 (for summer time)). For Linux there are 2 possibilities : Local time or GMT. The difference is how the OS stores the time in computer clock. For example, if it's 17:00 (time you see on your desktop clock), Windows will store 17:00 and Linux (if configured in GMT mode) will store it as 15:00. I am not sure at 100% but I think this is the difference. |
