I similarly noticed that one of my three computers running Ubuntu 14.04 did not have ntp installed after selecting "use network time". I noticed this when one computer did not update the time for DST. Looking into it further, I realized it did not have ntp installed. Manually installing ntp solved the problem but I never manually installed this on either of the other computers so I am not sure why I had to for this one.

When starting, I have this complain: Feb 11 08:47:51 pern kernel: [775910.071548] systemd-timedated[14157]: /etc/localtime should be a symbolic link to a timezone data file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. But then no error is shown, and the setting panels says that I am using network time --- which is not true. After a day, if I deselect/reselect network time, I have: SYS: Feb 11 08:47:58 pern kernel: [775917.016524] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to disabled SYS: Feb 11 08:47:59 pern kernel: [775918.305488] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to enabled SYS: Feb 11 08:48:59 pern ntpdate[14170]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset 53.842810 sec SYS: Feb 11 08:49:01 pern dovecot: imap: Warning: Time jumped forwards 53 seconds ...so it's definitely not working.
