Hi Clint, I appreciate, that a lot of the work going on around Ubuntu, is voluntary non-paid time, and I DO appreciate, that heroic endeavor; cause otherwise, I could only fall back to the ridiculously bug-ridden MS Windows... But I would recommend that a person having authority to and taking upon himself to close a bug-report (as invalid), at least had read the bug-report, before closing the case :
I reported, that my completely raw (i.e. non-update) 11.4 Ubuntu did not adjust the clock correctly. As this had not been a problem in all the earlier versions of Ubuntu (and I have run them all), I was sure, that the nice Ubuntu-peoples would like to know. Therefore I tried to experiment a little, amongst which removing the NTP-daemon, before reporting the bug. This IS a current bug, the clock is NOT adjusted correctly after having installed 11.4 on an Acer Aspire one. In my opinion its an flawed thinking, to remove the possibility under settings to configure, which NTP-servers should be contacted to adjust the clock. Please reopen this bug regards gerti ---- > Excerpts from gerti's message of Fri May 20 19:54:59 UTC 2011: >> Hi Clint, >> >> thanks for your answer. >> Yes the 4 NTP-servers, you cite, IF you install the NTP-daemon. >> But as it didn't work, I removed the NTP-daemon again. >> I shouldn't need the NTP-daemon, as I don't want to run a NTP-service >> for other machines om my network. >> >> As of this moment >> grep pool /etc/ntp.conf >> yields >> # Use public servers from the pool.ntp.org project. >> # Please consider joining the pool (http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html). >> server dk.pool.ntp.org iburst >> server pool.ntp.org iburst >> >> I assume because I have run the ntpdate with these NTP-servers >> (several times). >> >> and running >> ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*ntp* >> yields >> ls: cannot access /etc/rc?.d/*ntp*: No such file or directory >> >> again, presumably, because I removed the (for me) useless NTP-daemon. > > Gerti, thanks for the reply!
