Other GNU/Linux on the Universal tips

The Debian system loses current time when you reboot.

To preserve the system datetime, I wrote a nasty hack, that saves the datetime to a file in your home directory before shutdown, and reads it from it on reboot.

To use it install uni-datetime-preserve:

# wget -c http://sumou.com/uni/uni-datetime-preserve_0.1_all.deb # dpkg -i uni-datetime-preserve_0.1_all.deb

Now your datetime will be preserved between reboots.

However it does not recognize the date shift, if the date changes between a reboot, because currently the AT command is not known to me to retrieve the date from Uni via the network.

Therefore, if the date changes, i.e. you keep the Uni off for a day or so between reboots, you still must change the date manually using the GNU/Linux date command.
