[Bug 75375] Re: [time-admin] clock applet context menu doesn't allow Adjust Date Time
still NOT fixed - I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 with all updates as of today and am still unable to set the time: When I right-click on the time applet in my panel and choose adjust date + time, I enter my root pw and are presented with the time dialog. I want to set the time one hour in advance - I click on the up arrow next to the hour and to increase the hour by one - but after about 1-2 seconds, the hour jumps back to what it was! I have set the synchronize option to manual - plus when I try setting it to keep synchronized with internet servers I get an error that ntp is not installed - so the problem can't be that it is a ntp server changing the time. This is really annoying - I ran into the sudo timestamp too far in the future bug after my Ubuntu switched to winter time (hmm, how did that happen if ntp isn't installed???) - so I can't issue any sudo commands in the terminal until I change the time. So I thought I'd just change the time with the adjust date and time applet to regain sudo access, but this doesn't work either. Either gksudo is also affected by the root timestamp issue but won't tell me (but then the applet should fail to load, right?) and that's the reason why it won't update the time, OR there is something else buggy. -- [time-admin] clock applet context menu doesn't allow Adjust Date Time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 75375] Re: [time-admin] clock applet context menu doesn't allow Adjust Date Time
additional info: I fixed the sudo timestamp issue - but when I call sudo time-admin, I am still unable to adjust the time. When I try to set the clock, it takes a second, then it jumps back to the old value and gives the following error: (time-admin:7145): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) -- [time-admin] clock applet context menu doesn't allow Adjust Date Time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75375 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
