Ubuntu: Setting Date/Time using NTP Server
I am a user of Windows and I normally update Windows Clients’ time using the NTP server. On linux, especially Ubuntu, I am thinking how can I change or synchronize system time to existing servers. Luckily I found information on how to do this.
According to cyberciti. You must have ntpclient installed which is suppose to be installed by default. If not, try this command:
sudo apt-get install ntpdate
And if you want to sync the time, try this command:
sudo ntpdate your.server.address
Thats it, your Ubuntu linux time/date will be sync to the server address you’ve specified.
Thank you for this great tip!
I would also like to mention that if your time still doesn’t look right after an update, you might need to change your region under administration, date and time.
