This issue is almost solved. The dialog opens and it uses the usual gnome granting rights utility (brilliant).
But, if I select manual to change it once, and then I select synchronize, it claims "ntp support not installed", although I do have the package ntp installed. On the other hand, it seems that synchronization does not work when you are behind a proxy. ---------------------------------------- > Subject: Re: Bug#425470: Not possible adjust time by clicking on the clock > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 10:20:57 +0200 > > Le lundi 21 mai 2007 à 23:11 +0200, D G a écrit : > > Package: gnome-system-tools Version: 2.18.1-1 If you select System -> > > Administration -> Time and Date, it works.
