I have recently installed Fedora 13 by shrinking my ubuntu partition.
On the start due to some error( on my part) grub only choosing fedora
to boot the system. After the correction on grub config I can now dual
boot Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 9.04 - since then the time shown on Fedora
Desktop is always incorrect. It's started happening only after the
dual boot option is available to me. Solution required - thanks in
advance.
Usually this happens when you dual boot with windows, but I guess it can
happen with Ubuntu too.
You should check whether Ubuntu is configured to update the hardware
clock to local time or not. If it is, then turn it _off_. You need to
set both Ubuntu and Fedora to keep the hardware clock synchronised with
UTC and display the time adjusted for your time zone.
To achieve this in Fedora (and probably will work for Ubuntu too) is to
open up system-config-date and under the "Time" tab check the box saying
"System clock uses UTC". I would also recommend turning ntpd on (a
check-box on "Date and Time" tab)
Hope this will resolve the issue for you. GL.
