Bug Description
Since my Gutsy install, my system time has crept behind by about 7 minutes (this is since last week when Gutsy went public).
I right-click the clock on the taskbar, and go to "Adjust Date & Time". Next to "Configuration" I select "Keep synchronized with Internet servers". The system installs NTP. Then I select 5 or 6 servers. I click "Close". The time doesn't budge. I wait a few hours, still nothing. I reboot. Still nothing. I wait 2 days. No change, and it's continuing to creep farther behind. It's obviously not syncing with anybody's servers.
I've posted about this on the Ubuntu Forums, and no one from the community seems to be able to help so far.
If this is not a bug, can someone help me figure out how to be a more suitable user?

I confirm this bug.
Running ntpdate by hand doesn't work :
# ntpdate
28 Oct 07:22:01 ntpdate[6991]: no servers can be used, exiting
But running ntpdate-debian works :
# ntpdate-debian
28 Oct 07:23:49 ntpdate[6994]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
# /etc/init.d/ntp stop
* Stopping NTP server ntpd [ OK ]
# ntpdate-debian
28 Oct 07:24:03 ntpdate[7016]: adjust time server 134.214.100.6 offset 0.281618 sec
# /etc/init.d/ntp start
* Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ]
