Re: [tlug] Ubuntu 13.10 clock problems (was: Ibus and Ubuntu based)

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

Since Ubuntu 13.10 issues have been raised here, please let me query to 
see if anyone else has experienced a problem that I'm having. I have 
asked on a couple of Ubuntu forums, and gotten no response.

All 6 computers in my project being used by me and my assistants 
(various makes and models, desktops and laptops) are running 
Kubuntu/Windows7 dual-boot.

In every case, after upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10, a clock discrepancy 
problem has arisen between the two OS's:[1] Each time after I run 
Kubuntu, when I start Windows, the clock is set to 9 hours 
earlier--apparently UTC, even though the time indicator says it's Tokyo 
time, and so I have to reset it manually.

When I run Kubuntu, it shows the right local Japan time, and indicates 
that it's local time, not UTC. And I can't find anything in System 
Settings where this can be played with. I assume that it's a temporary 
bug, but if anyone's got any suggestions, I'd be delighted to hear them.

Regards,

Chuck

Note:

[1] I didn't notice that this was happening until a couple of days after 
I had upgraded all of them. Otherwise, I would have certainly stopped. :-(
