As far as I understand it, the ntpdate, which sets the system time, is run from the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate script.
The problem is for periodical updates of the system time, the ntpd daemon has to be installed, which uses a config file, which points to the ntp servers to use. The standard dhclient program does create such a configfile accordingly and restarts the ntp daemon with that, it the ntp-servers option is set. network manager fails to do that, so only the ntpdate script is run, which at least adjusts the current system time. -- network-manager not restarting ntp daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
