Problem: I have installed PCQLinux 2007, but during start up when processes are starting continuously a message saying 'timer went backwards...' is shown. The notebook I have installed PCQLinux has a core duo processor. Now when I enter the startx command, by default, it enters the gnome desktop. How should I login to the KDE desktop?
Also I found the clock moves very fast, for each second the clock seems to count 2 secs. I changed the time in BIOS but still after logging in Linux, it shows wrong time that changes at a faster speed. I would also want to know how I can login to the different desktops type-Home, Media Center, Scientific or Development? All I found was one icon in the gnome desktop, which when double clicked installed something related to Java. Both the Xen written and non-written boot options at booting time, after giving startx command, lead you to the gnome desktop.
Solution: For the issue of fast moving clock, open the file named grub.conf, found in /boot/grub, in a text editor. There will be one or more lines which say:
kernel
To the end of this line, add clock=pit, after a space. For example, currently I am running FC6 on my notebook and have the following line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
So this line will be changed to:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
quiet clock=pit
Now reboot the machine to see it working.
