[Bug 23426] Re: Gnome wont start if date is incorrect.

[indypende]

I can't access the gnome session in ubuntu (Ubuntu Dapper PPC on powerbook G4) for a bonobo-activation-server fail! I discover that this problem is generated by the time and date that are before the date and time of last reboot/shutdown. This appear when i boot the PB without a network connection. I googled a little beat and find that a problem affect the /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and clock commands. I try resolving and i see that on /dev there's not a rtc "file" needed to sync the clock.

All i made to solve is:
create the /dev/rtc lynking /dev/.static/dev/rtc
# sudo ln -s /dev/.static/dev/rtc /dev/rtc
with a network connection sync the clock
# sudo /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh restart
and then
#sudo clock

This temporary solve until i unplug the battery of PB. No one can help me?
