<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> There is also the step of going
into systemd services and enabling service NTP, at least in my
experiments.<br>
In the overall time keeping mix are two client-style
competitors. It seems to me, as some say, the wise choice would be
use regular NTP itself which can be both client and server, under
our control. This also avoids the mistake of force jumping clocks
which are out of synchronization, an act which can clobber cron
jobs and other time sensitive things. The initial setting of the
local machine's time is properly done by adding tag "iburst" to a
server line within /etc/ntp.conf. such as server uk.pool.ntp.org
iburst. That causes rapid slewing, rather than the normal more
gradual one and has no jumps.<br>
Nuances about choosing a time source amongst competitors is
another soft spot best left to the seasoned solutions of NTP
proper. That puzzle has been worked out over many years through
much experience with the protocol. Another thing to do in most
cases is turn off using the local clock as a time source
competitor (meaning comment out the lines in /etc/ntp.conf saying
server 127.127.1.0 and fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10).<br>

<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
If I install beta5 with no registration/packages and
select under settings to get the time from the NTP pool
the screen with the timezone map shows me the right
(updated) time.<br>
<br>
But if I proceed with the installation the "Performing
Installation" screen (Step: "Save Installation Settings"
-> "Writing NTP Configuration...") shows a popup
"Cannot adjust 'NTP' service.". This popup does not happen
when I do not enable NTP. When clicking OK the
installation proceeds.<br>

PS: in the timezone selection the "hardware clock in UTC" does
not adjust the currently displayed time. It is a bit frustrating
when you select a timezone and the displayed current time is off
by an hour. Because you have to switch on the UTC mode and then
go to manual settings and correct the time (or turn on NTP as I
did). I think former versions of SLES has that "feature" as
well.<br>
