Description Szymon Świerkosz 2011-03-27 10:24:24 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

Clock in my computer was lagging behind about 40 minutes. When I start the computer it starts KDM and simultaneous ntp-client. When ntp-client synchronizes the time, KDM kills starting X with reason: timeout.

KDM should use a monotonic clock when possible instead of a wall clock.

I know, I just need to set my clock to a correct time (I did that and X is not killed anymore), but it took me a while to figure out the reason.

Reproducible: Always

Git commit a38d29482cbada78f1ab9f894c871c4135cd8c17 by Oswald Buddenhagen.
Committed on 15/05/2011 at 12:19.
Pushed by ossi into branch 'KDE/4.6'.

use monotonic clock if available

this avoids that clock jumps (e.g., ntp syncs) cause timeouts.
