Do other functions in "Time & Date" work?

This also affects Ubuntu Vivid-vervet amd64 as well. Same symptoms. To set time to internet automatically is shaded.

The bug is in unity-control-center, not indicator-datetime.

Switching to systemd from upstart fixed it for me.

[Aron Xu (happyaron)]

unity-control-center gets a boolean value about whether system supports NTP from indicator-datetime, for Ubuntu installations with upstart, ntpd isn't installed (though there is ntpdate, default configuration doesn't make it work out-of-box) , switching to systemd makes me think of systemd-timesyncd.

[Barry Warsaw (barry)]

Even installing ntpd manually does not allow you to select this option in the system setting panel. The item is still grayed out.

[Aron Xu (happyaron)]

Problem vanished after switching to systemd, so that close the task for development release.
