Comment 50 for bug 33968

Please don't decrease the severity! I still experience the bug!

My story begins when I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 about 2 months ago. I noticed the time was displayed incorrectly, so I searched and posted comments at bug #35423. Later I was told that I had the wrong bug, and that I was really affected by #37750 (looks like I installed at a moment when Ubiquity didn't automatically figure out yet whether to set the hardware clock to UTC or not). Because of that bug I was told to edit /etc/default/rcS and change "UTC=yes" to "UTC=no". After that I restarted my PC and booted up Ubuntu again, logged in to GNOME. I noticed the time was displayed correctly now, but that I didn't have a working networking connection anymore (unless I used "sudo dhclient eth0") and that my internal IP address was changing nearly every ten minutes. I posted about my experiences with this in bug #21563 before I was told that I was really affected by this bug.

So after reading this bugreport, I decided to change "UTC=no" back to "UTC=yes" again, I rebooted and noticed that my network connection was now behaving normally again. However, having UTC disabled means that the time is displayed incorrectly.

Conclusion, I'm running 6.06 with the most recent updates installed, and I'm still affected by the bug.
