Yes, that is checked. >Also do you have the 'open-vm-tools' installed (i.e. is vmtoolsd running >which is what does the time sync to the Host every 60 seconds). Ah, I do not have open-vm-tools installed. I recall way back in the past that installing this caused several display problems, so I removed it and never noticed a problem. I should re-install it and see if it fixes the issue without causing other problems. (I've verified that installing ntp also "fixes" the problem, but you need to add "tinker panic 0" to /etc/ntp.conf otherwise if your VM is suspended for a long time, ntp will refuse to synchronize.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157914 Title: time never catches up to reality after VM sleep Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I run Ubuntu in a VM, then sleep the VM for a little while, I expect time to eventually catch up to reality, because I have "Set the time ... Automatically from the Internet". However, time never does catch up. I can trigger a catch up by toggling the datetime indicator to "Manually", wait a little bit, then toggle back to "Automatically from the Internet". I may have to do this a couple of times to fix the time. This tells me that it's not a problem with the VM environment specifically, but a problem with coordinating time over the internet.
