UTC=yes is the correct and sane default: the only reason you would ever store any other time in your system clock is when dual-booting.
The desktop installer detects a dual-boot situation and will automatically set UTC=no, albeit not always quite as often as you'd want. The alternate installer will ask you whether you wish the clock to be set at UTC or not. Otherwise you can always change it. But the default shall remain as "Yes" ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- In /etc/default/rcS, UTC should default to no https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
