    What happened with my CMOS battery?

    I buy a new CMOS battery, replace the old battery and configure the
    date/hour through the BIOS, save the configuration and restart the machine.

    Start the operating system, the system loads but then restart and the date/hour is disconfigured.

    My system admit the following Coin-Cell battery:

    1. CR-2032

    I install the following Coin-Cell battery in my machine:

    Panasonic CR2032 3V

    Did you check either battery with a voltmeter to be sure the old one was bad or the new one good?

    Did you install the new one correctly oriented in its socket?

    What does disconfigured mean? Showing January 2000, or running
    6 hours behind or ahead, or what?

    Was the machine unplugged before the restart, or powered all the time?

    Cheers,
    David.

    I conjecture that this is not a recent computer. Perhaps the computer
    is failing?

    I take it that the computer has worked correctly (at least in this
    regard) until now.

    What, if anything, are you doing to set the time from an external time
    source? Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the usual choice here, and there
    are several implementations available for Linux.

    When you installed Debian, was the CMOS clock set to UTC?


    When you installed Debian, did you select your time zone? Have you
    modified you time zone since installation?


    Have you entered the Setup utility, loaded factory default settings, set
    the date and time, saved the settings, exited the Setup utility, booted
    Debian, and checked the time with a terminal and date(1)?
