From the sound of it, you don't have a UTC/localtime issue (in any case
they always affected people WEST of UTC), but let's just verify that.
Before AND after you run fsck.ext4 on the Live CD, please run the
following two commands and provide the output:
date
sudo hwclock --show
Then reboot the full system and press ESCAPE at the GRUB menu, highlight
the "(recovery mode)" option, *EDIT* it (don't boot), *EDIT* the
"linux"/"kernel" line and add " init=/bin/bash" to the end.
Boot that, it'll drop you into a shell fairly quickly.
Run those two commands again, also provide the output of
grep UTC /etc/default/rcS
Now "reboot -f", select recovery mode again (boot it this time) and
allow the fsck to run. After it completes, before rebooting, run the
three commands again and provide the output.
