Airtel Wallet- Timestamp issue

Are you living out of India?
Do you have issues with Airtel Wallet- Timestamp issue, during recharging?
I had the same issue and couldn’t recharge with the money in my Airtel Wallet, since I was in another Time Zone (Europe).
After many friendly Mails with Airtel (the Helpdesk tried to reply and solve the issue sincerely)
I got the Idea to change the time on my Smartphone to IST.
I tried it and made a try with the wallet. And it was successful.

You can try this TIP, if you too face that issue.

1. Go to Time & Date setting on your Smartphone.
2. Untick, if you are on “Automatic Time Mode”.
3. Change the time manually to Indian Time.
4. Go to Airtel App and do the desired recharge. You will (must) get SMS notification, that it was done.

All the best wishes!

Boot time is longer in 18.3? Check your Boot IDs

After installing 18.3 it was taking “too much time to boot”. Earlier it was so quicker..
My issue came from Boot ID and its was following:
The ID in “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” was different than in “blkid”.
I have given the right ID and the boot time till “Login” screen is 1min04 Secs!
Really quick, as earlier…

Here is a way to fix it:
– open Terminal and type “blkid” to find the real IDs of your Partitions.
– Then type “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” in terminal and check, if the IDs are same.
– If not give the right ID from “blkid” result in the “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” result and save it.
