I am having the same issue with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Here's what I did:
0) Check the current time: http://www.google.com/search?q=time+detroit+mi 1) Click System > Administration > Time and Date 2) Click Unlock and enter my password 3) Time zone: America/New_York 4) Configuration: Keep synchronized ... 5) Select Servers: check wuarchive.wustl.edu 6) Click Close End result: no error and no change to time. Try two - manual: 1) Click System > Administration > Time and Date 2) Click Unlock and enter my password 3) Time zone: America/New_York 4) Configuration: Manual 5) Click Synchronize Now (the swirly icon to the right of the time) End result: no error and no change to time. Try three - the command line: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop ; sudo ntpdate wuarchive.wustl.edu ; sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start * Stopping NTP server ntpd [ OK ] 23 Aug 13:55:16 ntpdate[10661]: no server suitable for synchronization found * Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ] Now it is apparent that wuarchive.wustl.edu is not suitable. Change to a different server: 1) Click System > Administration > Time and Date 2) Click Unlock and enter my password 3) Time zone: America/New_York 4) Configuration: Keep synchronized ... 5) Select Servers: check clock.psu.edu 6) Click Close Time is synchronized almost immediately. I now have the right time. -- time settings: no warning on NTP errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351559 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
