I've a laptop which dual boots Windows 10 and Ubuntu (16.10). I'm based in India and the time that I see is 5.30 hours ahead. i.e. 5.30PM when the local time is 12.00PM I've tried to set the Hw clock with
sudo hwclock --localtime
This is what I see
sudo hwclock -r
2017-03-04 17:30:43.420286+5:30
Timezone cat /etc/timezone Asia/Kolkata
Raw output
sudo hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux 2.28.2
Using the /dev interface to the clock.
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2017/03/04 12:44:07
Hw clock time : 2017/03/04 12:44:07 = 1488631447 seconds since 1969
Time since last adjustment is 1488631447 seconds
Calculated Hardware Clock drift is 0.000000 seconds
2017-03-04 18:14:06.075863+5:30
In the Time Applet I've set it to get time automatically and that still reutrns this time.
Any help is much appreciated
EDIT: This is the solution
In terminal:
gksu gedit /etc/default/rcS
You may need to install gksu. In which case:
sudo apt-get install gksu
else ensure the file says:
UTC=no
Save and exit
Boot to Windows. Set correct time with the time applet. Boot to Ubuntu.
The correct time should be up
