Ubuntu
ntp package

My clock is not keeping the correct time.

Asked by Sai Manoj Kumar Yadlapati

From the time when I installed Ubuntu in my computer my clock doesn't keep right time.
My CMOS battery is OK.
My system shows correct time when I boot into Windows(I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu 10.10 )
It shows a 1/2 hr more than actual.
I'm in India (GMT +5.30 ), it is showing GMT +6.00. I changed it many times to correct IST(INDIAN STANDARD TIME) but no use, it reverts back after restarting.
I tried to synchronise with time servers, but I didn't understand clearly how to do that(I googled).
Please help.
Thanks.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

gksudo gedit /etc/default/rcS

In this configuration file change the row UTC set it as:

UTC=no

Save and exit reboot and then set the time.
