Hi all Efika Lovers !
Good news ! My probleme is resolved without having to Reflash it seems.
As usual the system asks me to change my password becasue it is expired as soon as I try to sudo anything. this time I connected to internet and then change the password and it worked !
Without forcing NTP, the clock updated and after the password changed I could restart Gdm with sudo and so far everything works weel , I wil keep in touch on this time issue.
Next Step : test some HTPC features now :-)
BTW : What is the best IRC/jabber
hmm did you ignore or not understand the warning when matt said:
"We recommend reflashing it because it's ridiculously complicated to fix, otherwise.
It may be causing some very strange problems up and down the software stack if any files in the system have been touched and changed to dates like 1969 or 1970..
in actual fact if oem-config did anything, these files are according to the time comparison code in Linux "created in the future".
so i hope you are ready and watching for these "
It may be causing some very strange problems up and down the software stack " rather than re-flashing as instructed.
although a direct link in the post to the files and instruction page might have been warranted here for other people with the same problem to follow and fix...OC
it appears given the date you said you would re-flash on the Mar 23 to reporting boot up and successful password setting today you were unsure about doing that and that's OK, it's better to ask exactly how to do it and learn something new after all.
does a step by step how-to page even exist for this problem i wonder, remember not everyone writes code and other low level tech stuff every day so might be unsure about several things they read here.
