** Description changed: I'm using Xubuntu 17.04 but I don't think this problem is specific to Xubuntu. By default, "Configuration" in "Time and Date Settings" is set to "Manual". If I change the option to "Keep synchronized with Internet servers" I am prompted to "Install NTP support" or to cancel the change. Obviously this is only when the ntp package isn't already installed. Clicking on "Install NTP support" displays a notification window to say that an application is requesting additional packages and that is can be found in "Software". Clicking on that window brings up gnome-software which says that the requested package cannot be found. I'm sure that in the past I was prompted for my administrator password as would be expected when installing software. - Although I'm reporting this using a live environment I also saw this - with my full disk based installation. + Recent updates have changed what is seen after asking for ntp to be + installed. + + *UPDATE* + + For Xubuntu, the expected dialogs appear and ntp is installed. + + For Lubuntu, an error message is now displayed: + + *Could not install package* + + GDBus.Error:org.freedekstop.org.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: the name + org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by an service files + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: gnome-system-tools 3.0.0-4ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-8.10-generic 4.10.0-rc8 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.380 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Feb 22 15:16:50 2017 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/time-admin LiveMediaBuild: Xubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20170222) ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-system-tools UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
