I clean installed Ubuntu Karmic in october 2009 and just discovered that my system time is 15 minutes off. I had ntp as well as ntpdate installed, but it clearly never synchronized. The time and date applet in the panel doesn't work either. I deinstalled ntp and manually executed ntpdate

Hi, Sorry about assigning the bug. The system allowed me to so I thought that was how you do it. I was just suggesting a quick fix. Long term I suggest since, - ntpdate does not use ntpdate.conf rename it to ntpdate-debian.conf - /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate does not use ntpdate so rename it

phamti, you should not assign bugs to anyone other than yourself. This bug is also closed. If you believe a reported bug still exists you should reopen it, but if you are talking about a different issue then you should open a new bug report for it. /etc/default/ntpdate is well commented, and you

Hi, This may not be a bug but I think it leads to confusion for everyone. May I suggest changing the comments in /etc/default/ntpdate as follows, # The settings in this file are used by the program ntpdate-debian, but not # by the upstream program ntpdate. # # ntpdate requires a server

Hi Hew, I think this should be addressed. Also would you be able to let us know how /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate knows which time server to use? ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Hew McLachlan (hew) -- ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf

This doesn't seem to be a valid bug: 1. The man-page for ntpdate says explicitly, that ntpdate requires a server parameter, for example: ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com 2. The documentation in /etc/default/ntpdate.conf says explicitly, that it is only used by ntpdate-debian. 3. If you use ntp, you

That looks right to me, the man page says a server must be specified. The bug report is therefore being closed for this reason. Please reopen the bug if you disagree with this assessment. Thank you again for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Feel free to submit

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release, Hardy Heron? Thanks in advance. **
