My Ubuntu 14.04 system is out of sync when I compare date and hwclock. Hwclock is simply 3 hours behind the system clock. As I live in GMT+3 time zone. Sample output:

$ date
Sat Nov 26 13:18:40 +03 2016
$ sudo hwclock
Sat 26 Nov 2016 10:18:46 AM +03  -0.317417 seconds

So far solutions I tried:

hwclock --systohc
hwclock -w --localtime

None of these working, I mean it works until reboot. I also tried setting hwclock manually. Every time, I reboot my computer hwclock is 3 hours behind my sysclock. Is there a service manipulating time?

Other references I checked before I asking this question

Do you have another operating system installed in the machine (dual boot)? Or is this a virtual machine? – user.dz Nov 26 '16 at 11:04
No it's the only OS installed on an old laptop. – emrecnl Nov 26 '16 at 11:07
Could you [edit] the question and add the content of /etc/default/rcS and the output of sudo hwclock --debug – user.dz Nov 26 '16 at 11:17
What is the output of timedatectl? – Terrance Nov 27 '16 at 02:50
