Making settings stick 259

What is a "setting" exactly? I think you are interpreting things in a way that is inappropriate and you may start on a more luctrative direction of thinking by jetisoning a word that has no real meaning.

What do you mean by "at boot"? Gkwhatever surely does not run at boot, so it can't find them "at boot"? I suspect you mean that you start it in your X session, and sometimes it starts up as it shut down last time, and sometimes it doesn't?

Well, save the defaults you want, and make sure that they are saved - ie. that your hme directory is owned by you,and doesn't have nasty things written by root in it - which you culd have managed by running as root.

If they are listed, and listed with options that say to mount them ("auto"), then they will be mounted, full stop. If not, not.

What "main menu"??? Is this to do with your session manager in X? It sounds like you are using kde, and that you have been running as root or doing an update.

What system is this? It sounds a bit like Mandrake.

It's correct whenever you set it right. You want the time in GMT in the bios, and yu want to tell the system that it is GMT in the bios. DOing anything else is crazy. And you want to adjust via a network time server after boot.

Alternatively you can put localtime in the bios, and then tell the system that the bios is in localtime.

SuSE? Why didn't you say! Anyway, if you say that you want it saved in localtime (which you shouldn't), that's what hwclck will do. These are all configged in SuSE's init config file, I foret what it is called. Lok in your rc dirs for somethig called something obvious.

Wherever you like to put it. I would imagine it is kept in boot.log, or kernel.log.

Then stop it - you have the keys.

Nothing to do with bootup, I presume (not knowing what gKrellM is).
