ntp in kubuntu jaunty does not configure

[buntunub]

NTP will not set or configure properly in Kubuntu Jaunty System Setting Panel when set to "Set date and Time automatically", and using any of the preselectable sources. On initial install when selecting ntp it does not offer to automatically setup ntp. In this case I manually installed ntp and then went back and reselected to set date and time automatically from the system panel and I get the below kernel dump --

May 11 00:30:19 davemc-desktop kernel: [ 84.556029] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -291275066 ns)

This does not show wether it is syncing, but I do not think so as it is so off base.

Using Kubuntu 9.04 with all patches to date are applied. Noticed when I navigate to:
System -- System Settings -- Date & Time

when I check the "Set date and time automatically" checkbox, click the Apply button, and then exit, it does not retain the setting. If you navigate away from "Date & Time" in the System Settings panel (like returning to Overview), it will retain the setting (stay checked) until you exit System Settings.

I verified that only the ntpdate package is installed, not the ntp package. I've not installed the ntp package yet as buntunub did above.

I'm using the PPA at http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu to obtain a later KDE version (4.2.3). This PPA fixed a problem I had with Kontact contacts.

Hi,

I know it's a long time, but I'm cleaning up old NTP bugs atm.
I checked and for any recent release I could verify that the setting is persistent and also the time is checked.
Note: the function is documented as only updating time once on login of your user anyway, it is not meant to retain a good time over a longer time (that would be real ntp then).
Since it is "no more" abug for any supported release setting to invalid.
