Hi.  It's still a problem in Trusty.  I have a fairly fresh and up-to-date
Trusty VM, which I suspended for 30 minutes.  Came back this morning (many
hours later) to find that it's still lagging by the sleep amount.

I have ntpdate installed but not ntp.  System settings is supposedly set to
set the time "Automatically from the Internet", although it doesn't seem to be
working.

Happy to test anything that would help debug the issue.

Title:
  time never catches up to reality after VM sleep

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I run Ubuntu in a VM, then sleep the VM for a little while, I
  expect time to eventually catch up to reality, because I have "Set the
  time ... Automatically from the Internet".  However, time never does
  catch up.

  I can trigger a catch up by toggling the datetime indicator to
  "Manually", wait a little bit, then toggle back to "Automatically from
  the Internet".  I may have to do this a couple of times to fix the
  time.

  This tells me that it's not a problem with the VM environment
  specifically, but a problem with coordinating time over the internet.
