Thread: 4-hour offset between Desktop Jaunty and UNR Jaunty

here's weird problem:

have old laptop (thinkpad r50) use home pc, , netbook (msi wind u123), dual-booted, want use occasional work while traveling. installed jaunty 9.04 on both (desktop , unr, respectively). want exchange files using usb flash drive formatted under windows (i need able access @ work). there 4-hour difference between 2 machines, prevents rsync synchronizing changes.

example of ls -l on 1 file, created on r50, seen on r50:

-rwx------ 1 ap root 83481 2009-09-19 16:03 outline1.pdf

, same file seen when usb stick plugged u123:

-rwx------ 1 ap root 83481 2009-09-19 20:03 outline1.pdf

each machine sees correctly own time, not other's. tried reverse -- creating file on u123. time stamp appears correct on u123. move usb stick r50, , it's 4 hours earlier. either there time warp in middle of desk, or 2 machines encoding time stamps differently (at least when writing dos filesystem).

last test, plugged same usb stick windows machine, , agrees u123, not r50. if there's bug, it's in desktop edition of 9.04 (at least applied r50), not in unr.

both machines running on same time , time zone (eastern daylight time).

ideas?

thanks!
