@Max: your syslog shows the ntp server you selected is not valid anymore: Oct 29 13:56:38 localhost ntpd_initres[20088]: host name not found: ntp.landau.ac.ru Please select another ntp server to solve your problem (e.g. the one you used for ntpdate should be ok).
@Laco: in your case the ntp service is started before your network interface gets an IP address. Therefore ntp is running before the ntpdate command is run, which makes ntpdate fail: Oct 28 13:17:11 laco-desktop ntpdate[5828]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting Please report this as a separate bug, against package ntp. -- Ubuntu did not set the Winter time automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
