As I said before, this appeares in syslog, when the network connection is established - I discovered it initially, when I was trying to "debug" the problems with the wireless connection on laptop.
The problem is not that the ntpdate runs all time in the background, but the script /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate does run every time when the network connection is established, as I explained before already. There is one thing though - if ntp support is installed, then the selected servers are configurable from the time-admin, but the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is still invoked every time even when time settings is set to "Manual" from time-admin, although it respects the server selection made in time-admin (obviously from /etc/ntp.conf) and server selection from /etc/default/ntpdate is ignored. All-in-all: 1. There is no way to prevent ntpdate to run every time, when network connection is established - setting to "Manual" in time-admin has no affect on this. 2. Servers can be selected after the installation of ntp support and this selection is then respected by the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate script. P.S. There is no "Synchronise now" button in time settings panel any more. ** Summary changed: - ntpdate running in the background by default + no user interface to configure whether time synchronisation is always made on establishing the network connection. -- no user interface to configure whether time synchronisation is always made on establishing the network connection. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585053 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
