You are completely misunderstanding the issue. The cause is not the Ubuntu software, but certain settings on YOUR system. We need to see the output of certain commands from your system, that we can tell you what YOU have to do to correct the error on YOUR system.

What is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
timedatectl status
sudo hwclock --set --date="`LANG=C date`"
timedatectl status
systemctl status vboxadd-service
vboxmanage --version

Don't waste your time with this clown. He's been warned (or she).

This is repeating the behaviour that I warned about in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+question/688970 comment #6, with no acknowledgement or change in behaviour whatsoever. As such I'm banning this user so that other users of the Ubuntu answers section don't need to deal with this repetitive aggression.

Can you help with this problem?
