Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits. I have a problem with the indicator Date-Time.
I'm using the option "Automatically from the Internet" to retrieve the hour for my system, it's works fine on my home network. But when I use a public network, this function doesn't work properly. It's due to the limited allowed ports I believe. So what are ports using in the indicator Date-Time for retrieving the hour?
The most common port on a public network is just 80 (http port)
PS: I'm using a public network all weeks, so that's important for me because I want to know sometime the hour..
summary: |
- Doesn't indicate the right hour + Doesn't report NTP connection problems |

Thanks for the report, Audiger. Ubuntu uses the standard NTP <http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Network_ Time_Protocol> for its time checking. As mentioned both there and in <https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ UbuntuTime# Troubleshooting>, NTP uses UDP on port 123. If a public network blocks this port, the public network is misconfigured.
That isn't the fault of indicator-datetime at all. But System Settings, and *possibly* indicator-datetime, could display that problem and currently don't.
