Yes, this is a new problem that didn't exist in any prior releases of Ubuntu, nor any other distribution of Linux or Unix that I have used. I ran utmpdump as you described; all entries looked correct.
As far as I know, my system's clock is set in UTC: $ date Fri Oct 3 16:30:08 EDT 2014 $ date -u Fri Oct 3 20:30:09 UTC 2014 I will do the following and report back: 1. Wipe out wtmp file and reboot. I noticed that an update yesterday included something about time zones. 2. Do a clean install to see if that makes a difference. The problem may have been due to upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 rather than doing a clean install. Thanks for looking at this so quickly, and telling me about utmpdump. I didn't know the command existed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376971 Title: /usr/bin/last is using UTC rather than local time for login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1376971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
