I've been working with bp on this server. The problem was never fixed. However, in the meantime I've given up on VMware and their inability to create a usable VMware Server version for Linux. :( (All KVM right now, which works just fine.) The VM is also no longer in use. So it's not a problem for me anymore.
If anyone else is having this issue, Dave had the right idea with the keyword 'drift'. That, together with 'VMware' and 'clock' yields a lot of sources. It mostly seems like a VMware problem. I tried one fix unsuccessfully, of which I can't remember the details, sorry. I'm fine with closing this bug. Sorry not to be of more help. -- System clock drifts on VMWare guest https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
