Bios/System time is wrongly set

[Sanjay Bhatia]

Using 13.10 on HP Pavilion dv4-1225dx. (Did not face this problem in 13.04)

Steps to check/reproduce the problem.

1) Cold Start
2) Go to Bios setup
3) Check/Set system time 13:18 (correct)
4) Exit Bios Continue startup
5) Ubuntu starts, see login screen
6) Note time is 6:48pm (WRONG)
7) Wait for few seconds (possible connects to wifi wtc)
8) Note time now modified to 1:19pm (Correct)
9) Do not login instead restart
10) Go into Bios
11) Time now reads 07:50 (Wrong)
12) Do not change, exit Bios
13) Continue boot into ubuntu
14) Time now reads 1:21pm (Correct)
15) Restart Ubuntu
16) Go into Bios
17) Modifiy time to 13:23
18) Exit Bios and continue into Ubuntu
19) Time now reads 6:54pm (Wrong)
20) Wait for some seconds time is not corrected to 1:25pm (Correct)
21) Login into ubuntu
22) Time now reads 13:25 (Correct)

Basically the bios/system time is modifed and has wrong time.

This is not a bug with the release upgrader process or software rather a bug with some software package after the upgrade.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1247750

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Does this issue go away if you boot back into the previous kernel?

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Also, would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.14 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
On further observation:

The bios time is being set to UT or GMT.

The system time on bootup is being set to IST.

So, would this be a bug or would it depend on some system setting? I am new
to linux/ubuntu, however, I have sufficient exp in software dev. to follow
instructions.
