Steps to repair "Invalid system date"
- Can you boot the system into Sugar? If not, try reflashing (and
updating the system firmware).
If you can't reflash or update the firmware, get a developer's key for the XO.
- Boot the system up and open up the Terminal activity. Type "su" to
become the super user (administrator).
- Set the software date and time. Note that this uses the US style
month/day/year system: date -s 06/24/09 date -s 22:31:00
For more information about the date command, run: date --help
- Set the hardware clock date and time by using the command:
hwclock --systohc
For more information about the hwclock command, run: hwclock --help
- Reboot the XO.
If the problem persists, the hardware clock's battery may be broken or out of its holder. Disassemble (open up) the XO and fix the clock battery.
