Hi gerti! Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.
I am not seeing the same effect as you on a fresh Natty install. /etc/ntp.conf has 4 servers configured by default: grep pool /etc/ntp.conf # on 2011-02-08 (LP: #104525). See http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html for server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ntp: Installed: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Can you upload the contents of /etc/ntp.conf to the bug report, so that we can try to figure out why ntp isn't syncing? Also can you provide the output of this command: $ ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*ntp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc0.d/K50ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc1.d/K77ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc2.d/S23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc3.d/S23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc4.d/S23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc5.d/S23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc6.d/K50ntp -> ../init.d/ntp Marking Incomplete pending response. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781088 Title: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
