Title: TC Plus 8.2.1 minor time/date issue?
Post by: PDP-8 on December 27, 2017, 08:34:59 PM: Minor issue - noticed that when right-clicking on CorePlus 8.2.1 default desktop and trying to bring up System Tools > Set Time it doesn't do anything.

All the other drop downs in System Tools seem to bring up the utilities inside the Control Panel, but this one doesn't.

Not a huge deal, just something I noticed. Tried it straight from the iso I burned to cd just to make sure - same result. Is it doing something different?

I'm running TC4 and it does the same thing. Running the command from a terminal produces this result:
Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ getTime.sh no response from nist1-atl.ustiming.org tc@box:~$If you are interested into looking into this, the script is located in /usr/bin/.

Code: [Select]
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver pool.ntp.org
..and getTime.sh seems to work for me, but does not give any feedback:
Code: [Select]
$ sudo getTime.sh [nothing] $ sudo /usr/sbin/ntpd -q -d -n -p pool.ntp.org ntpd: 'pool.ntp.org' is 94.204.252.138 ntpd: sending query to 94.204.252.138 ntpd: reply from 94.204.252.138: offset:+0.006060 delay:0.009697 status:0x24 strat:1 refid:0x00535047 rootdelay:0.000000 reach:0x01 ntpd: sending query to 94.204.252.138 ntpd: reply from 94.204.252.138: offset:+0.005860 delay:0.014619 status:0x24 strat:1 refid:0x00535047 rootdelay:0.000000 reach:0x03
