Bug Description
For both Kubuntu and Ubuntu it seems to have a bug with the time. I was able to change the time in Ubuntu but can not in Kubuntu using the adjust date and time or even the sudo date -s. Below is what I typed and the error I got. This error also occurs when I try and do any thing since the time is off by 8 hours. If I try and do the adjust date and time again after entering my password I get conversation with su failed. I also can not enter sudo any thing since it shows it is to far in the future. I started up by doing the sudo pppoeconf and it only allowed this before saying every thing else I do is to far in the future.
jmdennis@kubuntu:~$ sudo date -s "Wed Jan 18 23:26 PST 2006"
sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jan 18 23:27:05 2006

I just wanted to add that I was able to change the time by using sudo date -s but then when I tried to connect to the network it would not allow me. I then restarted the system which brought me to a non-graphical login. I shut down the system and then later when I turned it back on the time was set 8 hours in the past again. For some reason with Kubuntu when I do a restart it comes up with out a graphical login but if I shutdown and start up later it starts up fine other then being slower then previous releases.
