Public bug reported:
I installed ubuntu 20.04.1 from the live cd.
I wanted to complement the os by some apps. therefore I clicked the "Show
applications" icon in the left sidebar and typed e.g. seamonkey (and others).
After a while I got he message nothing found (I do not remember the precise
Please do not blame me too hard if I provided a "patch" not in the
correct format - but the script does the job for me. ntpd is started and
continues to run, ntpdate seems to be invoked twice. The first
invocation is too early and failes. The next one does its job but

attached version of ntpdate solves the problem for me and hopefully for

exit 0 statement in the script.

I hope my comment #35 answered the question raised in comment #32.
I do not fully understand the discussion and I am a newbe in that knowledge
domain however I would like to have the problem solved.
Please let me know if you think the following attempt makes sense.
Grep'ing through /etc I found /

I am affected too.
Manually starting ntpd using `systemctl start ntp` doesn't work for me.
ps -ef | grep ntpd # shows no started ntpd.
systemctl status ntp # does not change active (excited), only another last line
is added.
root@ILS-AP2:~# systemctl start ntp
root@ILS-AP2:~# ps -ef | grep ntp
