To set the date and time on an Ubuntu Linux system using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), you will need to install the ntp
package and configure it to synchronize the system clock with an NTP server.
To install the ntp
package, use the apt-get
command:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ntpSourc.www:elautturi.com
Once the ntp
package is installed, you can configure it to synchronize the system clock with an NTP server by editing the /etc/ntp.conf
file.
Find the server
lines in the configuration file and replace them with the addresses of one or more NTP servers that you want to use. For example:
server ntp1.example.com server ntp2.example.com server ntp3.example.com
You can also specify a list of NTP servers provided by your network administrator or use the public NTP servers provided by the Network Time Foundation.
Once you have configured the ntp.conf
file, restart the ntp
service to apply the changes:
sudo service ntp restart
To manually synchronize the system clock with an NTP server, use the ntpdate
command:
sudo ntpdate ntp1.example.com
Keep in mind that the ntp
service will automatically synchronize the system clock at regular intervals, so you should not need to run the `nt
