| 1232660 | 2011-09-23 13:23:00 | ok just rebooted to ubuntu, time was correct, rebooted back into windows, time was wrong again. So it's definitly ubuntu doing it, is there a simple fix or would it be easier to just uninstall ubuntu? Why do you say it was definitely Ubuntu doing it when it was telling the correct time but Windows wasn't. |

| 1232661 | 2011-09-23 23:01:00 | Well, if Ubuntu is using UTC it will set your clock to UTC, but convert it to local time, and display the correct one. However when you go back to Windows, it just displays what the clock says, which is NOT the correct local time - it does not "translate" it. |

| 1232662 | 2011-09-23 23:56:00 | If its ubuntu causing the time jump -- (this is a guess) are the regional / time settings correct in Ubuntu. Cant advise where you change them, as the only Ubuntu I have (11.04) looks like and changes settings like W7 ( even fooled myself this morning) :D |

Plausible but a bit drastic wanting to uninstall it when it is obvious that he has a setting wrong somewhere. |

| 1232665 | 2011-09-24 01:18:00 | I had the same thing happen to me last time we had a daylight saving change. Most annoying it was. I have dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I seem to remember changing the time zone in Ubuntu and solving the problem. | Bobh (5192) | ||

| 1232667 | 2011-09-24 01:47:00 | In Ubuntu, edit the file /etc/default/rcS and set the line UTC=yes to UTC=no | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1232668 | 2011-09-25 07:35:00 | Have you seen this thread? answers.microsoft.com It appears to be quite a common problem world wide and mostly on Asus MBs If it was time zone or daylight saving it would surely be multiple hours wrong not minutes. |
