The bug appears simply this: Even with UTC=no, Ubuntu stores the time as UTC at shutdown. But since UTC=no, it expects the time as local, thus applies no timezone correction, and the time is 4 hours fast for those in EDT country.
Took me the longest time to suss it out, since having automatic time synch enabled fixed the time before a clock was ever displayed - for me, the problem only showed up when I dual-booted over to Windows, or turned off the auto-sync. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377258 Title: Utopic time is off by 4 hours after boot Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Every day for the couple of several weeks when booting into Utopic the time is off usually by 4 hours.
