[Bug 90524] Re: Time-admin's "synchronize now" is disabled

2009-07-04 Thread era
How about (waves hands vaguely) determine whether NTP is present and working, and, if so, change the label to "Synchronization in progress ..." or some such? Then it makes sense for the button to be greyed out. -- Time-admin's "synchronize now" is disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90524 Y

I was just noticed this problem on my Gutsy system. I think the answer's here already but not entirely intuitive. To do a sync "now", you have to go to "manual" mode and hit "synchronize now". I saw my time change when i did that. Then you can go back to "keep synchronized" mode if you want. -

I have another case where a "synchronize now" button should be available: When running Ubuntu in VMWare, suspending the VMWare session and then resuming it at a later time, the clock is stuck at the time you suspended it. So even though I'm using ntpd to keep the clock in synch, I also want to be

@schmirrwurst: yes, this is why I suggested looking at the other bug. I do not see an immediate, simple solution here. Of course, NTP's approach to correcting the clock seems sensible and good, but some users want the clock corrected NOW, and this approach (I mean NTP's) may simply not do the tric

Ok, but there are always some issues : ntp is installed by default on ubuntu, so is also for network-manager. If I've understood, it means that every user that won't start with network will have this problem. I think there is need to find a better solution, because I don't believe new users are

this, then, looks like a duplicate of bug 90267. Please have a look at the comments there. A quick summary: 1. if ntp is started before network interfaces are active, then it will not work until restarted. 2. if ntp is running then ntpdate will not run (working as designed) 3. If network-manage

The Problem is also that ntp is only synchronizing at startup by me, if I have no connection on startup, then it is not synchronizing at all... When seting up the clock to sync with servers, the applet is modifying the ntpd.conf, it should also configure it to sync once an hour or something like t
