I know it's a long time, but I'm cleaning up old NTP bugs atm. I checked and for any recent release I could verify that the setting is persistent and also the time is checked. Note: the function is documented as only updating time once on login of your user anyway, it is not meant to retain a good time over a longer time (that would be real ntp then). Since it is "no more" abug for any supported release setting to invalid.

On initial install when selecting ntp it does not offer to automatically setup ntp. In this case I manually installed ntp and then went back and reselected to set date and time automatically from the system panel and I get the below kernel dump -- May 11 00:30:19 davemc-desktop kernel: [ 84.556029] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -291275066 ns) This does not show wether it is syncing, but I do not think so as it is so off base.
