[Bug 176844] Re: ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf
I may yet open a new bug, but in the meantime some comments .. > ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf YES. In my testing (Ubuntu 12.10, server, 64bit), ntpdate does NOT use the NTP servers listed in /etc/ntp.conf. Therefore, not honouring the setting: NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes in file: /etc/default/ntpdate However, NTP and NTPDATE don't play well, and really only NTP needs to work once the system is running (and 'nearly' synced). You also need to stop/start NTP, before/after attempting to use NTPDATE: ntpq -np ntpq -c rl sudo service ntp stop ntpdate -q 1.au.pool.ntp.org sudo service ntp start ntpq -np ntpq -c rl And (surprise) NTPDATE uses a completely different file (/etc/ntp/step-tickers) to list time servers, to get the initial reasonable time sync, to allow NTP to then keep in sync. Note: Ubuntu (even 12.10) does not have this file, or even the directory (/etc/ntp/), but does appear to use it (if created). -- 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/176844 Title: ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/176844/+subscriptions -- 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

@itsjustarumour: This bug has been closed for quite a long time. It would be better to open a new bug. Anyway: ntpdate will fail if ntp is running. This is expected, per design, and how it works. -- ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in ubuntu. -- 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

Sorry, bugtracker garbled my comment above, should read: Same problem on all my Karmic (32-bit) boxes. Clocks went forward an hour last night, but system time didn't change. Wheither I go System>Administration>Time and Date, or try this via the Clock?Calender applet, teh settings have no effect.

[Bug 176844] Re: ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf
I clean installed Ubuntu Karmic in october 2009 and just discovered that my system time is 15 minutes off. I had ntp as well as ntpdate installed, but it clearly never synchronized. The time and date applet in the panel doesn't work either. I deinstalled ntp and manually executed ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com and the right time was set. So how come this is not marked as a bug? Is it a feature that Karmic won't update the time? -- ntpdate fails to get a server from /etc/ntp.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to ntp in ubuntu. -- 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
