You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: ntp
After installing and configuring ntp (and reading the time-admin help manual from the help button), I noticed the time didn't seem to change. I ended up just restarting the service and it updated appropriately. I learned from other sources that this is because rather than change the time all at once, it does it bit by bit ("time slewing"). It would save some confusion to mention this time slewing behavior in the help documentation alongside the directions for configuring time synchronization. ** Affects: server-papercuts Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- ntp help manual should mention time slewing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
