disabled cell clock

alexachucarro

I'm 1/4 Basque you know?...
Thats what the results of my 'fsck -y' after Word (of all apps!) crashed my G4. Can anyone tell me if this has anything to do with the battery on the motherboard?

If it's related, if i open a window by d-clicking on my HD it's always messy with no arangment. I click on the Global setting and it stays like that until i log out?! any ideas?

I'm a complete UNIX virgin, so please no jargon.

thanks

I don't know. What's a cell clock?

This is a known issue related to file permissions. Basically, if you've changed the default Finder view for a particular folder as root, you're screwed. Apple knows about this and has intoned, but not promised, to address it in 10.1. Since this obviously has not happened, maybe 10.2?
 
enable network time? Assuming that you have a permanent connection to the internet of course. :p
 
alexachucarro,

Have you recently upgraded you system to MacOS X 10.1.5 ?

There are several reports of 'disabled cell clock' messages appearing in the system log (/var/log/system.log) and in the output of the command 'dmesg', after the computer awakes from a long sleep.

<<Jun 12 23:41:04 localhost mach_kernel: UniNEnet: 0 0 UniNEnet:: putToSleep - disabled cell clock!!!>>

<<UniNEnet: 0 0 UniNEnet:: putToSleep - disabled cell clock!!!>>

The syntoms appearing are :

<<If a user was logged in and the Mac went into a deep sleep, the clock tends to show the "old" (eg yesterday's) date and time still>>

I don't know if is related to your problem, but my conclusion is that is a bug in the update.

Check this thread if you want to read more about it:

Unfortunately, I don't know a solution at the moment.


Cheers...

Thanks for your input.
