[xubuntu-users] NTP Support installation failure

[Don]

CDR West, Thank You for your service.

launch a terminal command window:
windows-key/T
install ntp client:
sudo apt-get install ntp
(I had kernel reports TIME_ERROR: - don't be alarmed)
Next Key:
sudo service ntp reload
Next Key:
sudo service ntp status
(time error persisted)
wait for time servers to synchronize
Key:
nptime

mine showed:
ntptime

ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK)
  time e32b21c2.e04ef88c  Fri, Oct  9 2020 13:52:02.876, (.876205335),
  maximum error 217432 us, estimated error 5814 us, TAI offset 37
ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK)
  modes 0x0 (),
  offset -954.541 us, frequency 14.936 ppm, interval 1 s,
  maximum error 217432 us, estimated error 5814 us,
  status 0x2001 (PLL,NANO),
  time constant 6, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm,
