Both of those commands work as expected. I also tried uninstalling ntp and ntp-simple, then re-activating NTP support through admin->time&date, hoping to reproduce the crash. But it didn't recognize that ntp was no longer installed so that wasn't helpful either.
Sorry, I know what a pain unreproducible bugs are - I'll try it again on another machine (fresh install) when I get a chance. -- python-apt crashes when activating ntp https://launchpad.net/bugs/67865 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
