** Description changed:
After a fresh Gutsy install, I told the Date and Time applet to keep
synchronized with time servers. It had been an hour off, so I expected
this to set the time right, but it did not. I switched back to manual
time, set the time correctly, and then switched back to
The reason I asked for a screencast is because I fail to see where this
Synchronisation option is in the Time/Date settings. I thought it was
got rid of as an option in Hardy. How are you changing this option?
Quote Ryan : I just reproduced the same bug in Jaunty Jackalope --
using Synchronize
To reproduce on Jaunty I ran time-admin, hit unlock, put in my
password, then changed Configuration from Manual to Keep
synchronized with Internet servers
I can't do a screen cast right now (I rendered my Jaunty partition
unbootable during unrelated jiggery pokery) but if it would be very
useful
What would that screencast be like? You set some wrong time then wait
for hours and the clock won't be set to the correct time. Teej: you
shouldn't run ntpdate manually but wait for Ubuntu to set the correct
time.
However I just tried to run ntpdate:
$ ntpdate
30 Jun 21:35:55 ntpdate[10462]: no
There is a threshold limit for how wrong the time can be ~1000 seconds
I believe, before it doesn't update, although in Jaunty, I set my time
back 5 hours, ran ntpdate and it updated perfectly fine.

I just reproduced the same bug in Jaunty Jackalope -- using Synchronize
with time servers does nothing. It tries to install NPT support, but
afterwards it still insists that NTP support is not installed and always
reverts to the manual setting.
If the bug is incomplete, please tell me what sort
A screencast is always helpful as it shows the problem in action. Where
is this synchronise option, as for the life of me I cannot find it?
