I've got the same problem on my home dapper system. I've checked the sync box many times but on most days I find that my system time is wrong and ntp is not running and the sync check box is not checked.
This computer is an old PII 400 MHz machine, the on board motherboard battery is dead so it loses the correct time and any non-default bios settings every time it is turned off. -- time-admin: Failure to keep clock synchronized box ticked, with NTP installed https://launchpad.net/bugs/44737 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
