[Bug 1377258] Re: /etc/default/rcS: UTC=no: Utopic time is off by 4 hours after boot

 

Some note keeping for myself, please ignore.

Reproducer in VM:
sudo apt-get install -y systemd-sysv
sudo dpkg -P ntpdate
sudo sed -i '/^UTC/ s/yes/no/' /etc/default/rcS
sudo reboot

then after login again, timedatectl shows
      Local time: Fri 2014-11-07 17:37:15 CET
  Universal time: Fri 2014-11-07 16:37:15 UTC
        RTC time: Fri 2014-11-07 16:37:15
       Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CET, +0100)
    RTC in local TZ: no

which shows the bug. Last line should be "yes" and the local time an
hour earlier.

Title:
  /etc/default/rcS: UTC=no: Utopic time is off by 4 hours after boot

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Every day for the couple of several weeks when booting into Utopic the time is off usually by 4 hours.
  I went to time and date settings and the ability to check get time Automatically from the internet is greyed out.
  Even though it knows I am in US Eastern Standard time this does not fix it:
  cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

  Current default time zone: 'America/New_York'
  Local time is now:      Tue Sep 30 08:09:32 EDT 2014.
  Universal Time is now:  Tue Sep 30 12:09:32 UTC 2014.

  The only thing that will fix it is sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
  This happens to me in Gnome Flashback (with Compiz) every single day but others report it happens in Unity too.
