While I agree that the system should honour the chosen settings (so if you say 'manual time' that is really all you get), I would argue that all systems, desktop and server, should ship with a minimum NTP setup. If the load on the Ubuntu time server is of concern, then you could use the minpoll set to 10 (1024s) or similar for it. See: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/clockopt.html#server
Those with greater requirements might want to add more servers to ntp.conf and some (like here in my university) may need to change the time server to a local one due to a slightly strange firewall policy. But I don't see why manual time should be preferred for any case other than a complete lack of internet connectivity! -- No obvious way to prevent ntpdate to be run when interface are brought up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
