Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ntp
I have no idea how or when my ntp server got set but I had been noticing for some time that my clock wasn't correct. I finally investigated the problem tonight and found many lines of the following in the daemon.log ntpd_initres[xxxx]: host name not found: clock.tricity.wsu.edu /etc/ntp.conf obviously had the following: server clock.tricity.wsu.edu Which I replaced with: server pool.ntp.org My suggestion is that the ntp package should decide on a default ntpserver hostname (pool.ntp.org or ntp.ubuntu.com) and then upgrade people's ntp.conf files to reflect that default. ** Affects: ntp (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/691819 Title: ntpd stopped working when time server disappeared -- 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
