My girlfriend also uses Kubuntu on her laptop 
.
She has been complaining recently that the time on her panel is wrong.
I've reset it to the correct time on a few occasions, but after a few days... back to the wrong time.
When it's wrong, it's always out by an hour (I'm guessing it's because of the daylight savings time / British summer time thing).
I have a suspicion that it goes wrong after she shuts the lid to suspend to RAM, and then lets the battery run out. Assuming Kubuntu then looks up the time online when it turns back on, this must be where the problem is. I've tried setting the time to auto update to BST but that sets the time to 1hr out.
I've tried the obvious solution of "don't let the battery run down" but it's not going too well, so if there's a technical solution that would be ideal.
