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".
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Suvayu. You have solved my
problem. Sorry for
being late to reply. Actually I am waiting to see whether the changes
are permanent or not.
I would also recommend turning ntpd on (a
check-box on "Date and Time" tab)
I have not done this though. Is it
necessary?
Hope this will resolve the issue for you. GL.
One thing I want to share with you
and other users here - I have also
been a subscriber to another user's mailing list - though I am not
here for long - still the queries I have posted here got quick and
perfect solution than elsewhere - it seems to me the users here are
more knowledgeable than elsewhere.
Thanks a lot-
with regards
tanmoy
