Public bug reported:
(BIOS Clock) System Clock unsetting bug 3/30/2010
Installation resets the system clock. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 amd 64
from CD under wubi. In my case the clock was correctly set to 11:10am
under Windows 7 and after the installation it showed 6:16am.
When I installed Ubuntu 9.10 i386 the clock was 10:31am before install
and the time after install was 5:34am
When I installed Ubuntu 9.04 the time was 11:48pm before install and the
time after install was 6:54pm.
Based on my observations the installation process changes the hour value
while leaving the minutes and AM/PM value unchanged.
I would expect the installation to leave the system clock alone when
there is no time server to synchronize with.
In my case I did not have a network connected and accordingly did not
have a connection to a timeserver. After the system connects to the
internet the clock sets itself automatically.
I have only tested this on Wubi installs of Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 9.10
i386 and 9.10 amd 64.
System is:
Dell 1546 Inspiron
AMD Turion Processor
(Note: It may be helpful to note that this sounds similar to "Bug #497504 Live
CD changes BIOS clock" and
"Bug #561030 System clock runs about two times slower if no connection to
internet")
