Set clock by ntp (mate-time-admin)

[vboehm]

Hi,
I have a SparkyLinux 3.6 (Mate) installed two days ago.

Now I wanted to set up the clock by using
    System --> Systemverwaltung --> Datum und Uhrzeit

After changing the 'Konfiguration'-Selection from 'Manuell' to 'Abgleich mit Internet aufrecht erhalten' the program stated:
    NTP-Unterstützung ist nicht installiert
    Bitte installieren und aktivieren Sie die NTP-Unterstützung, um den Abgleich der lokalen Zeit über Internet-Zeit Server zu ermöglichen.

Which means: No NTP support installed. Please install NTP support to ...

Since the package ntpdate was installed and tested before, I don't know which kind of NTP support the program requires.

Any Ideas?

Hi
Try to install 'ntp' package.

After that you'll probably want to have it running on system start-up, so you'll need to enable it (as root):

Code Select Expand


systemctl start ntpd
systemctl enable ntpd


I don't remember if the service is named ntp or ntpd, so if the first command fails, just try using the shorter name (ntp) for both commands.
