1. Perhaps the error message could be rewritten to be clearer - ntpdate does an
"instant update", and that is installed - what your system is missing is a
program with runs continuously (ntp-server).
2. You don't also need ntp, if you're happy with the date being just slightly
incorrect occasionally.
As regards the "Synchronise now" button not working, the bug is in time-admin,
it appears to try to run
/etc/init.d/ntpdate restart
However, this file no longer exists - the command to run should be
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
The file was moved in ntpdate version 1:4.2.0a+stable-8.1ubuntu2
** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: gnome-panel => gnome-system-tools
Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
