> Workaround: Uninstall package ntpdate. That also uninstalls the "ubuntu-minimal" package, which is yet another bug (at least up until 14.04). I also think ntpdate shouldn't be started at all on ifup. openntpd and (I think) ntpd as well allow for large time adjustments on the first query (-s swi

Workaround: Uninstall package ntpdate. Why would the "Manual" setting be ignored? Are ntp servers used to collect statistics on users, installations and reboots, or for tracking portable computers? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is s

Colin: Synchronising the system time does not cause time zone difficulties. I use manual time to work around a bug in Evolution/Thunderbird/etc. And the purpose of my previous post was to give an example of "why manual time should be preferred for any case other than a complete lack of internet con

Victor: There should be no intrinsic connection between setting the absolute (UTC) time and setting the system time zone. The former certainly doesn't imply the latter, as time zones are implemented as setting an offset from UTC time. If synchronising the system time causes time zone difficulties

"But I don't see why manual time should be preferred for any case other than a complete lack of internet connectivity!" I live in two different time zones. Whenever I change the system time zone, this messes up my synced phone's calendar. Therefore I do not change the system time zone and set my c

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

I'd argue ntpdate shouldn't be started at all by default. I can see no reason why people would prefer using ntpdate rather than ntpd. Desktops should ship without NTP enabled (i.e. ntp package not installed, but installable via time-admin), and server should ship with it installed. Current situati

There is a problem that administration panel settings in "Time and Date" is not respected, because there are affecting ntp configuration, but ntpdate configuration can not be set in any way. It is the bug in user interface and not in ntp or ntpdate. -- No obvious way to prevent ntpdate to be run

You can edit /etc/default/ntpdate and change NTPOPTIONS line to NTPOPTIONS="-q" which in effect tells ntpdate to "Query only - don't set the clock" (quoting manpage). -- No obvious way to prevent ntpdate to be run when interface are brought up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322518 You received
