hi
Which file/boot option should I edit so that picore does not try to access ntp server (as my device is on LAN without internet) & set time to some day in 2014 say 19-05-2014 9AM.
Otherwise , i have seen it defaults to january 1 1970 & says 'password expired' to ssh clients .
-
Use date command in bootlocal.sh
-
okay . will try .
-
that worked.
does this try to get time from NTP ?
startup message shows 'skipping RTC' .
-
It tries in the background few times but stops after few tries, doens't harm.
-
startup message shows 'skipping RTC' .
RTC = real time clock (I think)
-
can i tell it not to try NTP & save time in boot ?

Core waits 60 seconds for working network connection. If network is not available after 1 munute, do not check NTP time. As it was written in a previous it happenes in the background, do not slow down system,
No need to disable. Just do nothing :)

Hello,
I'm quite new on Raspberry and I have to get automatically the date when my RPi is booting. You said :
Use date command in bootlocal.sh
My /opt/bootlocal.sh is void. Nothing is written in. Is it normal ? Maybe this /bootlocal.sh is not located into /opt folder but I only heard about this location.
If it is normal, how have I to use the date command here ?
Thanks for help and sorry for my english :x

Is your RPi connected to Internet?
-
For now, it is. But I need it to be able to update the date without Internet.

Without Internet, there are two option.
1) Manually using date command
2) Adding an RTC (search Forum for tipps)

1) Manually using date command
Hum, OK. I understood that but I don't know how to correctly use this command. Actually, I need to get the true date on each boot of the RPi.
I assume that I need to use the date command on boot putting it in a specific file, but in which file have I to put it so it runs automatically ?
2) Adding an RTC (search Forum for tipps)
I really don't want to add any module to my RPi. :)
Thanks.

You must execute date command in a terminal.
Type
date --help
in terminal to get help on usage.
-
In fact, when I type date in my terminal, I always get the following date :
Tue Sep 9 12:31:36 CEST 2014Only time is changing.
If I let my RPi turned on, of course, the date will change but when I turn it off and restart it, the date is still Tue Sep 9 xx:xx:xx CEST 2014
Of course, I used dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and selected the good geographic area and time zone. But nothing changed.
-
dpkg-something, eh? Are we talking about piCore, the Raspberry Pi port of Tiny Core Linux? Dion't think so....
-
that worked.

I dont think Raspberry Pi has a RTC so that's correct (I have seen several projects to add an RTC to Raspberry Pi too BTW).

I imagine without a real-time clock, the RPi probably forgets the time every time you start? Which means you must manually set the daye & time OR add a RTC circuit OR use NTP.
