Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 9.04 x86_64
Installed from Windows XP with Wubi rev129

current wall clock time : 17:30
UTC time : 15:30

Windows system setting for timezone : (GMT+01:00) Belgrade, Bratislava, 
Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague
(summer time is in effect)

I installed Ubuntu and after booting into it, the situation is like
this:

st...@ubuntu:~$ date -u
Thu Jul 30 17:34:05 UTC 2009
st...@ubuntu:~$ date -R
Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:34:10 -0400
st...@ubuntu:~$ date 
Thu Jul 30 13:34:22 EDT 2009
st...@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/timezone 
America/New_York
st...@ubuntu:~$ sudo hwclock --show
Thu 30 Jul 2009 01:37:41 PM EDT  -0.630628 seconds


After booting back to windows:
 displayed time : 13:40
$ date -u
11:40

So:
 - <my conclusions about what did Ubuntu right and what wrong deleted, as they 
were initially wrong and I and tired. You are smart, figure it out.>
 - timezone is wrong, it should be Europe/Ljubljana or similar

  st...@ubuntu:~$ sudo hwclock --show
  Thu 30 Jul 2009 01:37:41 PM EDT  -0.630628 seconds
  
  So:
   - it reads the hwclock as if it were in UTC and not localtime; the 
resolution of bug 8088 suggests, that localtime should be used (actually it 
should be asked)
-  - consequently it writes it wrong on shutdown (I guess it synchronized over 
internet during uptime)
   - timezone is wrong, it should be Europe/Ljubljana or similar
