16.04 shows wrong internet time...

[orange2k]

Yesterday, my ubuntu 16.04 began showing wrong time. On my system it is set to automatic internet time, but it shows 2 hours too much.

How can I fix this?

its a known problem (report against 'adjtime' on launchpad Bug #1566465 )

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntp

len@ALIEN:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntp
[sudo] password for len:
dpkg-query: package 'ntp' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: ntp is not installed

did sudo apt-get install ntp
then sudo dpkg-reconfigure ntp

and now, all is well, thx!

I have this happening in VirtualBox and thought it to be vBox related. I know better now. Thanks
