The bug appears to me like this: Even with UTC=no, Ubuntu stores the time as UTC at shutdown. But since UTC=no, it expects the time as local, thus applies no timezone correction, and the time is 4 hours fast for those in EDT country.
Took me the longest time to suss it out, since having automatic time synch enabled fixed the time before a clock was ever displayed - for me, the problem only showed up when I dual-booted over to Windows, or turned off the auto-sync. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377698 Title: /etc/default/rcS: UTC=no is being ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1377698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
