Thank you,

this should solved the issue, since /mnt/moonstudio/ is the particular
Ubuntu install.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /mnt/moonstudio/etc/adjtime
0.000000 1438115502 0.000000
1438115502
UTC
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/adjtime
-0.239597 1438163830 0.000000
1438163830
LOCAL

However, I'm not the only one experiencing this issue and since you ask
what's different between Ubuntu and a distro using a clean systemd,
take a look at my post here:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-studio-devel/2015-July/006559.html

Ubuntu by default installs tons of irrelevant files and programs.

    as soon as I've successfully tested it. I can't reboot right now.
