If do not want to use NTP manual time selection is enabled and the dialog can be left without having to modify that setting.
If you check the 'Manually' button YaST sets the system clock to the values of the entry boxes. The entry boxes are filled when you enter the dialog and are not updated while you are viewing the dialog. So the system clock always gets set back by the amount of time you spent in the dialog. To reproduce stay a little longer before clicking 'Next' (just like a user who needs to read and understand the dialog), then check your system's time. It's most obvious if you install in a VM as the VM's time will be behind the host's after that dialog. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Mhm. The checkbox looks quite confusing. What about three radio buttons?
( ) Synchronize with system time
This does not mean anything. Technically, we want to achieve the option to "Switch NTP off, but do not adapt time now". That's why it kind of belongs to that 'Manually' part. I admit that it is not perfect, that's why I did not submit it yet, but still, I think it is better and less confusing that your proposal. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, do we have API for disabling NTP from ntp-client_proposal?
With "SetUseNTP", I can save only the variable that indicates me current status. So if I call it with false, I can show that it is off. However, it is not, because it was initialized by default and only way to switch it off would be calling ui_try_save. But this one also does the synchronization, which I want to avoid in this ace. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
