> Thanks. I was convinced that checking "use netweork time" in the
control panel was equivalent to install ntp.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but it might also check
for/install "ntpdate". If you think this is confusing or not working
right, can you please report this against unity-control-center? Thanks!

Title:
  systemd-timedated is not keeping the time synchronized

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I do not know if this is related to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1409594

  In my system, 14.04 fully updated, the time is not kept in sync with
  network servers.

  When starting, I have this complain:

  Feb 11 08:47:51 pern kernel: [775910.071548] systemd-timedated[14157]:
  /etc/localtime should be a symbolic link to a timezone data file in
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/.

  But then no error is shown, and the setting panels says that I am
  using network time --- which is not true. After a day, if I
  deselect/reselect network time, I have:

  SYS: Feb 11 08:47:58 pern kernel: [775917.016524] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to disabled
  SYS: Feb 11 08:47:59 pern kernel: [775918.305488] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to enabled
  SYS: Feb 11 08:48:59 pern ntpdate[14170]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset 53.842810 sec
  SYS: Feb 11 08:49:01 pern dovecot: imap: Warning: Time jumped forwards 53 seconds

  ...so it's definitely not working. Any help/hint/workaround?
