Title: /usr/bin/last is using UTC rather than local time for login Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10. When I run /usr/bin/last, which relies on /var/log/wtmp, I get the following output (note: I replaced my login name with XXXX): XXXX pts/8 :0 Thu Oct 2 20:40 still logged in XXXX pts/2 :0 Thu Oct 2 20:36 still logged in XXXX pts/2 :0 Thu Oct 2 18:55 - 20:30 (01:34) XXXX :0 :0 Thu Oct 2 18:54 still logged in reboot system boot 3.16.0-20-generi Thu Oct 2 22:54 - 20:41 (-2:-12) XXXX pts/9 :0 Thu Oct 2 18:38 - 18:52 (00:14) XXXX pts/0 :0 Thu Oct 2 18:35 - 18:53 (00:17) Note that for the XXXX login, the session's start and stop time are both shown in local time. However, for the reboot line, the start time is shown in UTC (i.e. Greeenwich) time and the current time is shown in local time, which gives rise to the negative elapsed time. I tried emptying the /var/log/wtmp file and rebooting. No luck. Possibly wtmp is being written to before the time zone can be established. My time zone is EDT (US/Eastern, same time zone as New York). When I run the linux "date" command, the time zone is shown correctly.
