Thanks for the report, Audiger. Ubuntu uses the standard NTP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol> for its time checking. As mentioned both there and in <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Troubleshooting>, NTP uses UDP on port 123. If a public network blocks this port, the public network is misconfigured.
That isn't the fault of indicator-datetime at all. But System Settings, and *possibly* indicator-datetime, could display that problem and currently don't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242307 Title: Doesn't report NTP connection problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1242307/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
