1368300 2014-02-27 08:56:00 Did you try either of the fixes in the article I linked?
Nothing else will resolve this issue, short of reinstalling Ubuntu and setting the Hardware clock to local time during the install.
Nope, haven't tried that yet, been pretty busy these last few days. Will give it a go over the weekend, thanks :)

1368301 2014-02-27 09:15:00 Have you tried changing the server under internet time (when you dbl click on the time in the taskbar)?? Change it to something like pool.ntp.org. See if it stays up to date then. The default time.windows.com pretty much sucks

Is the time in the BIOS the right time?

1368302 2014-02-27 09:44:00 Dave's link is what you want, although if you want to change to using localtime in the BIOS, depending on which buntu you are running, the method may have changed.
The "new" way is to edit (as root) /etc/adjtime and replace UTC on line 3 with LOCAL, then do 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'.

1368304 2014-03-04 03:11:00 Nick, when you installed Ubuntu it will have set the hardware clock to Universal Time by default.

That link explains what I mean and will give a couple of methods to correct this.
Yep, that did the trick. :thanks
