ntp package

No NTP Graphical interface in Jaunty

Asked by Ahmed Hamed

I have got jaunty installed; however, I noticed that I can no longer choose automatic for my time settings. In previous releases, automatic installed NTP package and then my machine time gets always synchronized with internet time servers. In jaunty, I can no longer find that settings. Why was it removed, and is the only way to get ntp the terminal? What are the commands to turn it on?

1. Do 'System->Administration->Time and Date'.
2. Unlock the dialog.
3. In the 'Configuration' section select 'Keep synchronised with Internet servers'.

It will prompt to install NTP. Once installed...

4. Close the dialogs and do steps 1 and 2 again.
5. Use the 'Select servers' section and select the ntp servers you wish to synchronise with.

All done.

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for this horrible question. Looking mroe into it, it seems that it was this way even in intrepid. I guess I didn't use it in intrepid and still remember the old hardy and before method. I didn't notice that time settings are different from the system menu and from right clicking on the clock itself.

Thanks again...
