Feature changed by: Gavin S (gav616) Feature #313220, revision 15 Title: Fix intial NTP settings openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Gavin S (gav616) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I propose a tweak to the intital NTP options. A simple tick box: 'use NTP to sync your clock' This would simply add three NTP servers for the system to use. It would get the three from the location the user picks at the map section. Also, A check-box asking the user if they connect through an unreliable connection such as WiFi, which would enable / disable the 'undisciplined clock' feature for them. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Ease installation and stop ambiguity of pre-set settings. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2012-03-31 16:07:19) Isn't this what the installer already does? #2: Gavin S (gav616) (2012-03-31 23:09:00) (reply to #1) The only options are to add one random server and I feel there are too many clicks to get the NTP daemon set up, also, the 'undisciplined clock' option is not there or explained. It's sometimes added after installation or sometimes not, this is the same issue with NTP in a chroot jail. The GUI while installing Fedora's initial NTP set-up is basically what I'm proposing for OpenSUSE. + #3: Gavin S (gav616) (2012-10-05 15:02:03) (reply to #2) + for example: [Installing 12.2 kde live cd] In the time zone section i + select to setup NTP daemon and want to start it at boot with a single + server. After finishing installation I go to the NTP settings in yast. + The settings are different to what I set in the installation process, + also 'undisciplined clock' option has been added with no explanation, + also "run in chroot jail" is disabled. My suggestion: Have a simple + single option to just add 3-4 'pool.ntp.org' servers. Simple + explanation of using the 'undisciplined clock' with a unreliable + connection. + P.S. i had to change my connection to turn on "at boot" because by + default the "automatic configuration" put it to "on connection" which + broke my internet. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313220
