First, I wanted to just say that this isn't an Ubuntu problem, it's a Gnome problem and there are bug(s) submitted for it.

I'm using Karmic and it's actually all broke. You could check stuff in /var/log. Maybe /var/log/daemon.log. Might only produce an error when the daemon tries to sync and I don't know what that interval is. > 2) Any reason not to check a half-dozen or more time servers? You *should* use multiple servers although many of those servers do that automatically. I usually use one local server and one regional pool. The ones that kind of do it automatically are called pools. They just forward to a random server but that helps if servers go down for maintenance, etc. When multiple servers are used it will poll all of them and then use the best response. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
