Running ubuntu on BBB

ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:/var/log$ uname -a

Linux ubuntu-armhf 3.14.4.1-bone-armhf.com #1 SMP Tue Jun 3 12:37:22 UTC 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

when doing a " last -x reboot" I get :

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16964+05:59

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16963+05:59

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16957+05:59

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16956+05:59

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16955+05:59

reboot system boot 3.14.4.1-bone-ar Thu Jan 1 01:00 - 08:00 (16954+05:59

the date of the system is correct:

ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:/var/log$ date

Thu Jun 30 16:41:00 CEST 2016

the date filedate of /var/log/wtmp is also correct

-rw-rw-r-- 1 utmp 239232 Jun 30 15:42 wtmp

What could be the reason of getting not the correct output ?

However, one *could* use the fake-hwclock papckage is one exists in Ubuntu. Debian has this package, but not positive about Ubuntu.
