trollord: set "UTC=no" in /etc/default/rcS. This setting will make Ubuntu read and write to the hardware clock in localtime, rather than UTC. Windows does the same by default, and thus you won't have problems with them fighting over the clock's timezone. This is the default (in Intrepid and Jaunty, anyway) for Ubuntu installations if Windows was installed first.
David Nemeskey: Ticking "Set date and time manually" turns off NTP, so no, it wouldn't check the time servers on startup. If Kubuntu was not detecting your time zone change, then it's likely that your timezone wasn't set correctly, because tzdata contains information on time zone changes and is applied in (K)Ubuntu. Marking this report as invalid; Windows using the hardware clock differently from Ubuntu, Linux, and most other operating systems, is not really something we can fix. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Windows dual-boot can corrupt system clock even if time servers are enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97722 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
