    Hi,
    I've got Ubuntu installed in my Parallels copy here on my Macbook.
    But the time is always shifted.
    Looks like the Mac OS has the timezone added (+2 hours) and Linux takes this time as GMT and adds again 2 hours.

    Any idea on how to fix this?

    Gruß

    same problem here; i 'solved' by manually updating the clock each login -- not much of a solution.

    I had a similar problem. This may be because Ubuntu thinks the system clock is set to UTC when it is not.

    To change this, I set "UTC=no" in /etc/default/rcS and then rebooted:

    $ sudo nano /etc/default/rcS
