In 3.0.10 / 3.0.8, I can't change guest system time, the guest system is Ubunt 9.10/9.04.
If I change to 3.0.6, the system time can be changed.
Virtualbox 3.0.10 / 3.0.8 has some bugs with it ?
Host is windowsXP with SP3
3.0.10 can't change guest system time

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time
Are the Guest Additions installed? If so, that then prevents the time changes because it syncs with the Host.

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time
AFAIK the installation of the guest additions installs a time sync and has for every version I can think of.
If you need to have the guest not set to the host time automatically you will need to uninstall the guest additions.

That's right. I just runPerryg wrote:AFAIK the installation of the guest additions installs a time sync and has for every version I can think of.
If you need to have the guest not set to the host time automatically you will need to uninstall the guest additions.
VBoxManage modifyvm RSASERVER --biossystemtimeoffset +1580000
in order to modify guest clock 26,3 mins (+1580000ms~=26,3 min)
Anyone has a better solution?
Regards forum..

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time
2 questions:
1. I want the guest additions on the Guest OS installed, except for the time. I don't want to sync the time of the Guest that of the Host. Is it possible that I can install the Guest Additons excluding the time?
2. How is it possible to change the time in 3.0.6 version and not in the 3.0.8/3.0.10 versions?
Thanks in advance.

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time
Disable GA time-sync by editing the parameters passed to the VirtualBox Guest Additions Service (on Windows guests):
To reenable timesync, repeat the steps but remove the --disable-timesync parameter.
- Open Registry Editor (Start menu>Run...>Type 'regedit' into the 'Open:' field>Click the OK button)
WARNING: Incorrect editing of the registry can damage your system. - Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxService
- Double-click on 'ImagePath'
- Change the 'Value data:' field, by adding '--disable-timesync' at the end. It should look like:
Code: Select all
system32\VBoxService.exe --disable-timesync
- Click OK
- Either reboot the VM, or stop and then restart the 'VirtualBox Guest Additions Service'
To reenable timesync, repeat the steps but remove the --disable-timesync parameter.

Re: 3.0.10 can't change guest system time
Hi Mark,
I've recently installed virtual box 3.2.8.
I want to use that trick with the registry change, but I can't find the VboxService folder in the path you specified.What should I do?
Thanks.
