Ubuntu Studio 14.04: Use "Synchronize with Internet"
What is Supposed to Work:
- System » Time and Date
- Click “Unlock” button to be able to change things
- Configuration: → change to “keep synchronized with Internet servers”
- get a Pop-Up for “NTP support is not installed”
- select “Install NTP support” button
At this point the Time and Date window, and everything else abruptly closed. I got some “crashed error report” Pop-Up when again running the “Time and Date” utility. Several attempts to do this – including right after a reboot of the computer – were unable to change this setting.
What Did Work:
- Use the Terminal to install NTP support on this system
sudo apt-get install ntp
- Verify that the NTP service is now running
sudo service ntp status # should get following result
* NTP server is running
Now when I go back to the “Time and Date” utility, “Configuration:” is (finally) set to “keep synchronized with the Internet servers”
