Time Goofed Up? Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS and KVM VMs

So, the following is a simple copy/paste of a snippet from a chat session I had recently with my friend, Patrick...

hey,... so i fixed the clock thing on ubuntu.

here's the command that fixed everything is one little step

Patrick

How

me

ok, so say u want to set the date-time to: (Feb 22, 2013 19:02:00)

this just too funny how simple this is...

embarassing actually

sudo date 022219022013.00

reboot... done...

oops... had to reconfig the timezone thing again

Patrick

I like it

Sure

me

and then another reboot... but it's all better now

Patrick

Blog that puppy

me

Even the KVM vms rebooted several times w/o issue now too

yeah, will do
