[cobalt-users] Qube3 - Saving Date/Time via GUI increments date



Hi Guys,

I have a problem in the GUI for setting date and time on a Qube3 ... each
time I press save, it increments the date.

I discovered this because I was advised that email from the Qube3 was being
delivered in the future.  I went to the GUI set the date back, pressed save
... no change.  I repeated the exercise with the same result.  It wasn't
until I set the date to the day before I wanted (i.e. yesterday) that it
saved the correct date (i.e. yesterday + 1 = today).

Further if you keep pressing save ... the date increments one day at a time.

I have not tried all combinations yet, but it is possible that the time zone
is involved.  The east coast of Aust is +1000 ... it could be incrementing
the date because it is adding the time zone offset.  This could be a reason
why the problem was not picked up in testing (i.e. time zone offset = 0000).

With additional testing I have found that if I leave the "NTP Server
Address" empty I get the date incrementing each time I save.  If the "NTP
Server Address" is NOT empty I can't change the date or time via the GUI at
all.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour on a Qube3?

Cheers,  Malcolm
