< bullgard4> Good gracious! The Xfce4.10.1 clock panel plugin today
shows a wrong time. It worked flawlessly for months.
It is 2 minutes fast. I need to check if it syncs via
the Internet. What is its associated underlying
command-line command?
< rworkman> bullgard4: it just shows the system time - if the system
has the correct time, then the plugin shows the correct
time. In other words, use e.g. ntpd to set and keep the
system time correct
< bullgard4> rworkman: No sir. As I said the time worked flawlessly for
month although ntp is not installed. There must be another
underlying package and culprit.
< rworkman> You need ntpd or openntpd or some other similar system-level
software to keep time synced with an internet source.
< rworkman> Other packages don't mess with your system time (or if they do,
then there are bigger problems there), and the clock plugin
only *shows* the time.
< rworkman> You are free to believe what you wish, of course, but this is
not religion.
< bullgard4> My problem is religion-independent.
< rworkman> *whoosh*
