This appears to be an issue of user error at install time, specifically in regards to the installer asking if the clock is set to UTC. Many people who are installing in VirtualBox may be doing so on top of an existing Ubuntu install, where their computer clock may, indeed, be set to UTC. The passthrough to VB is a localtime passthrough AFAIK. Therefore, when the virtual install comes up, it's using local time and assuming that's UTC, but this can make for a disk that appears to have been edited in the future. The filesystem screams "error."
It would seem there are two ways to fix this: 1) an updated installer that checks to see if it's being installed in VirtualBox, or 2) the easiest solution: update the installer message to inform the user that virtual machines may need to be set to local time even if the machine is set to UTC. -- On VirtualBox, Ubuntu 9.10 says that the filesystem has been damaged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
