Public bug reported: Dear developers of the lubuntu-desktop package,
I am not experienced on bug reporting. Let me know if additional testing would be required. For instance, I could install lubuntu on a virtual machine, to make the bug easily reproducible. Let me know if this would useful, or just a waste of time. I am working with a small computing platform as part of my research, an Odroid XU3. For information about this platform you can check this website: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140448267127 Basically it is a small computer that is equipped with a relatively powerful ARM processor. My issue, is that for my work I need to synchronize the clocks among various machines connected through LAN and WLAN networks. For this purpose we have been using quite successfully "chrony", https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony . The problem is that "chrony" (sudo apt-get install chrony) requires the uninstallation of the "ntp" package. Then, because "ntp" is required by "lubuntu-desktop", we also need to remove the lubuntu GUI. Then, the bug would be "easily reproducible": - Clean install of lubuntu on an Odroid XU3 - Go to terminal: sudo apt-get install chrony - This requires the removal of ntp. - The removal of ntp causes the removal of lubuntu-desktop So my question is, is it be possible to run lubuntu-desktop without ntp, or alternatively with chrony? If any of these are possible, how can it be achieved? I hope that I could clarify the issue that I am facing with lubuntu-desktop, ntp and chrony, Thanks a lot for your help!
