• Leap Second Issues

    Hi Folks!

    Apparently that extra second they added a few days ago causes problems
    for some Linux systems. This post is from a MythTV newsgroup (I use
    Mythbuntu to record OTA shows):

    I saw the same thing and rebooted, works fine now.

    The link is interesting but basically says to reboot the system(s) to
    correct the problem. (FWIW my Mythbuntu system seems not to have been effected and is running normally.
