My machine arrived without a CMOS battery so I installed fake-hwclock to attempt to at least have reasonable and increasing times. I've installed the CMOS battery and attempted to remove fake-hwclock but am still having problems. The RTC appears to work as shown by
dmesg | grep rtc
[ 0.619589] rtc_cmos 00:06: RTC can wake from S4
[ 0.620641] rtc_cmos 00:06: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0
[ 0.621476] rtc_cmos 00:06: alarms up to one month, y3k, 242 bytes nvram, hpet irqs
[ 0.649771] rtc_cmos 00:06: setting system clock to 2014-12-17 18:09:34 UTC (1418839774)
I checked the /etc/rc*.d files and found links to fake-hwclock in /etc/init.d
Is it safe for me to delete the links and script?
