Wrong time when using automatic setting

[neclepsio]

I had to add UTC=yes to /etc/defaults/rcS because time was wrong when using automatic setting.

Are you sure? Because nothing in current xenial reads the value of UTC from /etc/default/rcS.

[neclepsio (neclepsio)]

I'm sure the time is off and ntp update does not solve. I thought to have solved with UTC=yes but I just checked again and I was wrong. Maybe something with time zone (Rome) or DST? On the pc I also have Windows 7.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

If you have Windows on your system, then you probably should not be treating the system clock as UTC because Windows doesn't do this. You probably want the clock in local time, which systemd sets up as:

        printf "0.0 0 0.0\n0\nLOCAL\n" > /etc/adjtime

So you may want to check if you have this setting in /etc/adjtime (in particular, the third line 'LOCAL')

The file was missing. It now works. Thank you very much. But since it's a
common case, why it isn't handled correctly by default? I never had
problems with previous versions.

I could not test if ntp works because I have no network connection now.
Previously, the offset persisted the ntp update. I don't know if this
configuration will solve that too?

I confirm it works now. Thank you.
