Public bug reported:
1) Run Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) as guest OS under Oracle VirtualBox
(v4.1.18). Host OS is also Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit). Both the OS have
latest software updates applied.
2) Close the VM, and when prompted, choose to save the VM state.
3) After some time, resume the VM. Notice that the date/ time in guest
Ubuntu starts from where it was last updated in step 2 above if network
connection is disabled or if the date/ time update option is manual
update as opposed to update from Internet. In contrast, Windows XP guest
OS running under the same environment does update its date/ time to the
current one irrespective of the network availability under guest OS!
Not sure of the root cause. I suspect Windows is able to figure out new
time based on some input from the VirtualBox VM that Ubuntu fails to
cater to?
