Description Jens Nixdorf 2008-02-29 16:50:39 UTC

When i want to cange my date/time-settings in Yast from manual to syncronizing with ntp Yast is always refreshing all repositories and if i look into this module again to recheck my settings, always the option "manual" is set.

My yast-version is yast2-2.15.58-12

See the logfile attached.

Updating repositories: As I wrote in bug #327336, this is WONTFIX for 10.3. The only way to get the fix into 10.3 final would be to release online update for yast2-ntp-client, but this must be first approved by the release manager. 

In bug #327336, comment #21, coolo says: 
"These days (and next year when the world changes back to summer time) we'll see more duplicates. But usually changing time isn't a daily operation, so I would see this as annoying not as worth an update."

Always seeing 'manual' option: I believe this should be fixed in yast2-country 
2.15.20, changelog says:

Thu Sep 13 18:26:15 CEST 2007 - kmachalkova@suse.cz

- In 'change date and time' dialog, remember whether synchronization 
  with NTP server has been selected (#308238)

But this holds true only within the same 'yast->change date&time' session and it works for me pretty well on my system. 
If you leave the module (e.g. by clicking finish or abort) and then run it again, you will have 'manual' options checked again, which is, I believe, intentional, not a buggy behaviour. Jirko, can you please comment?

yeah, fixing this for 11.0 has to be good enough - plus there is a yast:backports build service repo that Duncan setup, but I'm not sure what other yast dependencies an update would drag in.

I think it is bug, because it means that ntp client was actually not configured, only the time was synchronized. But this is already addressed in feature 302917 and will be fixed for 11.0
