1232659 2011-09-23 13:21:00 You've probably got Ubuntu set on the wrong time-zone, or it's using UTC instead of local time. Agent_24 (57)
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.

1232664 2011-09-24 00:22:00 Plausible? No, more than plausible. I have had it happen myself! Agent_24 (57)
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)

Plausible = Seeming reasonable or probable.

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)

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.
