Fellow Kubunters, I need to push the clock of my Kubuntu 9.10 system
ahead five minutes. I set it in (translated) System Settings -> Date
and Time and even disabled the "update automatically" checkmark.
However after a reboot the time goes back to the correct time.

I then tried changing the BIOS clock five minutes ahead. Even in this
case, after a reboot the clock goes back to being accurate. What must
I do to permanently move the clock ahead five minutes?

Thanks.

Why do you want your clock to be wrong?

I'm curious why the clock needs to be five minutes fast.

That said, my guess is that in addition to setting the bios clock five
minutes fast you need to disable NTP.

Why would anyone intentionally set the clock to a wrong value? Anyway,
when the network gets connected, Kubuntu sets the clock with ntpdate
from some time server (default is ntp.ubuntu.com).

Uninstall ntpdate.

Does it go back to correct time even if there is no internet
connection?

So that I will be only 10 minutes late for everything.

I just uninstalled it, let's see how that works out. Thanks!

That's nothing at all Dotan. I have been so late, so many times in my 75
years, that my 2nd wife used to claim that I would probably be late for my
own funeral. And I always replied that I sincerely hoped I missed it
completely. But guess who had the car warmed up by the time she was ready?
Thank $Diety she left 25 years ago. I've not been quite so tardy sometimes.
