Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Fresh install of Live daily (2010.02.11) with all updates applied. Only
change to system is a custom (and very minimal) xorg.conf to correct
xorg auto-configuration breakage.
1) System->Administration->Time and Date
2) Authenticate in applet window to allow changes
3) Select "Keep synchronized with Internet Servers"
4) Authenticate for the package install
5) PC will abruptly power-off(!) after package installation and while
displaying the "Enabling NTP" notification
I am consistently able to reproduce this on fresh installs. Restarting
the PC after power-off appears to make the issue inconsistently
reproducible, and continuing to play with the NTP via the Time and Date
applet eventually seems to make things behave properly. Issuing "apt-
get remove --purge ntp" and then starting at step 1 after and initial
failure seems to result in inconsistent failure, sometimes powering off
the machine after attempting to select the time server(s) you wish to
use and sometimes working perfectly on the first attempt. However, If
it does fail with this method, the issue seems to self correct after
repeated attempts. The PC has not (yet) displayed this issue if I
install ntp using apt-get from the shell.
