[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.33.1

Please see: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3346

Hello, friends!

I have the following situation in Devuan 2 and Devuan 3:

|hwclock --utc 2020-02-29 02:15:50.889268+03:00 hwclock --localtime 
2020-02-28 23:16:54.311448+03:00|

*This is wrong!!!*
Must be:

|hwclock --utc 2020-02-28 20:15:50.889268+03:00 hwclock --localtime 
2020-02-28 23:16:54.311448+03:00|

After a reboot, the BIOS sets the time to UTC, which should be localtime.

*Please report this issue to the hwclock developers.*

Thanks!

I think you might be misunderstanding here.

As stated in hwclock(8), the --utc option is not to print the UTC time but to
tell hwclock that the BIOS clock is set to UTC. This can be used to override
what is in /etc/adjtime.

What is your BIOS clock set to?

What do you have in /etc/adjtime?

Thanks

Mark

Exactly. So you have it configured to save localtime to the hwclock.

Therefore, if you call 'hwclock --utc' you will get the wrong information,
becuase your hwclock is not set to UTC.

Please read hwclock(8). You should be using 'hwclock --localtime' or relying on
what is in /etc/adjtime.

I am sorry, but you are misunderstanding.

'hwclock --utc' does NOT mean print the hclock time in UTC equivalent.
It means print the hwclock time and I have the hwclock SET to UTC.

Please read hwclock(8). In particular:

 --localtime
 -u, --utc
        Indicate which timescale the Hardware Clock is set to.

 -r, --show
 --get
        Read  the  Hardware  Clock  and print the time on standard output.  The
 	time shown is always in local time,
 	even if you keep your Hardware Clock in UTC.

I'm not a tolerant person and I don't really dislike psychos. I told you 
earlier that UTC is +00:00, not +03: 00. I'm sorry you don't understand 
this, and you're arguing with me. Don't write to me again, Troll. I 
won't answer you. I repeat again: I don't LIKE PSYCHOS! I FUCK THEM!
