Hi, Stumbled upon this thread while looking for a solution for my issue to update the system time from the Gnome toolbar.
Same happens here: 1) right-click on calendar applet in toolbar 2) select "Adjust date & time" 3) click "Set system time" ==> error message (screenshot attached): "Failed to set the system time" (bold big font) "/sbin/hwclock returned 256" (small normal font) tail -f on /var/log/syslog while performing action (3) yields: Dec 10 21:14:48 steven-laptop kernel: [72880.567182] /dev/vmmon[1635]: HostIF_ReadUptime: detected settimeofday: fixed uptimeBase old 18445515206478279819 new 18445515206480757296 attempts 1 HTH, Steven ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-failed-to-set-system-time.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20349775/Screenshot-failed-to-set-system-time.png -- On time set, "/sbin/hwclock returned 256" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
