Problem with virtual machines time

[gvillaran]

Hi, i have installed proxmox 1.9 and i made 2 virtual machines running ubuntu, when i log in into either of them the time is wrong, when
i try to adjust it i get and error saying "Operation not permitted", then time in the proxmox server is ok but the virtual machines they are
way ahead of the proxmox server time (8:52am right now, and the virtual machines have 17:49).

how can i correct this?

Thanks for your help

what error do you get exactly, which command do you run?

do you run container (openvz) or KVM guests?

openvz, error is :

i run:
date 092108522011 and the result is:

date: cannot set date : Operation not permitted

thats it

you cannot run this in a container. make sure your host has the right time, inside the container make sure you configured the right timezone, just run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'

Oh, ok

that worked

Many thanks Tom.
