[Bug 581304] Re: ntpdate doesn't work by default in karmic

[C de-Avillez]

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.

Usually, "no servers can be used" means either there are no accessible
NTP servers to be polled, or that NTP is running. But you did not give
us enough information to determine what actually happened. Consider
collecting more data, including package version and logs next time you
open a bug.

Meanwhile: can you please:
1. run 'sudo ntpdate -v'? This will give us the programme version, and (perhaps) additional debug data;
2. verify if the NTP daemon is running: 'ps aux | grep ntp'
3. try to run 'ntpdate' by giving it a server to query: 'sudo ntpdate -v poolntp.org'
4. run 'grep ntp /var/log/*'

And give us all output.

Thank you,
