Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the development release - Trusty Tahr. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .

I'm having the same problem in 11.10; my clock is almost always 9 or 10 minutes fast. For me, it's been happening since I relocated from the midwest (U.S.) to France.

[Bug 781088] Re: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server
@brawehear: no, it should not. The ntp.drift is a (continuously updated) measure of how much your system's hardware clock deviates from time sources (the NTP servers, or a real precise clock attached to the machine) -- in other words, how much your hardware clock _drifts_ from reliable clock sources. The calculated value is used to adjust the clock when no time servers can be contacted. NTP server addresses are stored in /etc/ntp.conf. @gerti: 1. I shouldn't need the NTP-daemon, as I don't want to run a NTP- service for other machines om my network. Well, this is just *one* reason to run NTP (as opposed to ntpdate only). The other -- and, in my view, much more important -- reason is to keep your machine as much as possible time-synchronised. If you just use ntpdate your clock will (slowly, but surely) drift from the correct time. How much and how fast depends on a lot of factors, including how long since last sync, thermal variances on the computer, quality of the computer hardware clock source, etc. Additionally, every time you manually (or via cron) run ntpdate to adjust your time you will get a sudden jump in clock time -- which may cause problems to other programmes. 2. I reported, that my completely raw (i.e. non-update) 11.4 Ubuntu did not adjust the clock correctly. We have released updates to NTP on 11.04. You *need* to apply them for us to be able to verify your issue. Neither Clint, nor I, can reproduce it on up-to-date 11.04. Unless you tell us more details (including what did not work, with output of commands, there is not much we can do. Dropping the NTP task back to incomplete -- not enough data to confirm. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781088 Title: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/781088/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

@Clint, yes, I know about the problem, if the system-clock is too way off. But that was not the case on my machine - at most a minute or so. And no, while installing and doing the first boots of the new 11.4, there were no connection problems.

I understand the frustration gerti, and I'm sorry that you're having problems. I still don't understand the steps to take to not get the right time. I have a fresh VM install of 11.04 that was already configured to query NTP from the network, and it did so flawlessly without changing anything. It also works fine if I just install ntp on a server, so I really don't think there's a problem with the ntp package, but maybe I have missed a step or detail that causes you issues? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781088 Title: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 781088] Re: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server
Excerpts from gerti's message of Sat May 21 16:47:41 UTC 2011: Hi Clint, I appreciate, that a lot of the work going on around Ubuntu, is voluntary non-paid time, and I DO appreciate, that heroic endeavor; cause otherwise, I could only fall back to the ridiculously bug-ridden MS Windows... But I would recommend that a person having authority to and taking upon himself to close a bug-report (as invalid), at least had read the bug-report, before closing the case : I reported, that my completely raw (i.e. non-update) 11.4 Ubuntu did not adjust the clock correctly. As this had not been a problem in all the earlier versions of Ubuntu (and I have run them all), I was sure, that the nice Ubuntu-peoples would like to know. Therefore I tried to experiment a little, amongst which removing the NTP-daemon, before reporting the bug. This IS a current bug, the clock is NOT adjusted correctly after having installed 11.4 on an Acer Aspire one. In my opinion its an flawed thinking, to remove the possibility under settings to configure, which NTP-servers should be contacted to adjust the clock. gerti, first I mistyped useful as useless in my reply, as I think users find it quite use*ful* to have the ntp daemon synchronizing their time. Is it possible that you had temporary connection problems that prevented the automatic time synchronization from working? I tested a fresh install and it kept the time synced as I would expect. I didn't try starting with a clock that was wildly out of sync with true time though.. maybe thats part of the problem you're having? ntpd does refuse to make big jumps in time, so if you are too far off, it doesn't help. That the ability to change the NTP servers has been removed is more a bug in indicator-datetime, not so much the ntp daemon which is really just the magic that happens behind the scenes. I could definitely argue that before starting ntpd, setting the option to set the time Automatically from the Internet should use ntpdate to set it if it is too far off. So, I'm opening a new task against indicator-datetime, which we'll leave at status New, so developers more familiar with its operation can decide if this is by design or an accidental regression. ** Also affects: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781088 Title: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I am not seeing the same effect as you on a fresh Natty install. /etc/ntp.conf has 4 servers configured by default: grep pool /etc/ntp.conf # on 2011-02-08 (LP: #104525). See http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html for server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org ntp: Installed: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Can you upload the contents of /etc/ntp.conf to the bug report, so that we can try to figure out why ntp isn't syncing? Also can you provide the output of this command: $ ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*ntp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc0.d/K50ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc1.d/K77ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc2.d/S23ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc3.d/S23ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc4.d/S23ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc5.d/S23ntp - ../init.d/ntp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2011-03-07 03:03 /etc/rc6.d/K50ntp - ../init.d/ntp Marking Incomplete pending response. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781088 Title: Time is not syncronized with NTP-server -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
