This is also an issue for me in Precise 12.04. The panel time is up to 1 second behind the system time. I have confirmed the system time is within .0000316 of a second by comparing with my stratum 2 ntp router.
The panel time however is slower up to about one second or less when compared with the routers time. This is concerning me as the maths involved in calculating the panel clock or the code in calling and displaying the system time is obiously causing this and in my opinion should be an easy fix - this bug has been in the last 2 releases and is still present. Add in drift allowance or -1 off the clock that it looks sooooo close as to be good enough :P I mean the ntp clock should be giving good enough data to use to make allowance for drift etc I just don't understand why this is still a problem ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731570 Title: Panel clock is always exactly one second late To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/731570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
