Lubuntu is not changing the bios date-time when I set the date-time manually using the Time and Date Application. Due to which, when I reboot it synchronises the time with the wrong time in bios.

I am not using ntp.

I tried putting the following command on various places.

hwclock --systohc --localtime

I placed it in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf int session-cleanup-script (P.S called the command using script);

I placed it in /etc/init.d/ and created symlinks in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d/.

OS is Lubuntu 16.04

I cannot issue command from terminal as the OS will be deployed to non-technical users.

  • What have you tried? 1. List the commands that you issued to the shell. 2. Show the contents of the ntp.conf file by typing: cat /etc/ntp.conf

  • I have tested on both in vm and metal. I checked using timedatectl | head -3 command and can confirm that system time is changing but not the hwclock

I solved it by modifing the /etc/sudoers file by appending the following.

%sudo ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/hwclock
