Hi Jeremy,

How do I know which one is the latest development release?  Are you referring to 10.04?

Regards,

Hank

Hi Hank,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu.  ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .  If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).  It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 571059

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great.  It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.  Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .  Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag.  This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.  Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Installation changes system clock -Ubuntu 9.04/9.10

Bug description:
(BIOS Clock) System Clock unsetting bug 3/30/2010

Installation resets the system clock.  I installed Ubuntu 9.10 amd 64 from CD under wubi.  In my case the clock was correctly set to 11:10am under Windows 7 and after the installation it showed 6:16am.

When I installed Ubuntu 9.10 i386 the clock was 10:31am before install and the time after install was 5:34am

When I installed Ubuntu 9.04 the time was 11:48pm before install and the time after install was 6:54pm.

Based on my observations the installation process changes the hour value while leaving the minutes and AM/PM value unchanged.

I would expect the installation to leave the system clock alone when there is no time server to synchronize with.

In my case I did not have a network connected and accordingly did not have a connection to a timeserver. After the system connects to the internet the clock sets itself automatically.

I have only tested this on Wubi installs of Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 9.10 i386 and 9.10 amd 64.

System is:
Dell 1546 Inspiron
AMD Turion Processor

(Note: It may be helpful to note that this sounds similar to "Bug #497504 Live CD changes BIOS clock" and
"Bug #561030 System clock runs about two times slower if no connection to internet")
