Description marciocha666 2013-04-03 15:02:48 UTC 
I am using Kubuntu 13.04 Beta 1, KDE 4.10.1, 3.8.0-16 kernel.
I've been trying to set System Settings > Date & Time > Set date and time automatically. I attempt to check the box, but after clicking "Apply" and OK there is crash every time i'm doing it.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1: right click on the time widget
2: choose adjust date and time
3: click on set date and time automatically (or if already clicked change an entry)
4: click on apply and OK
7: error message "unable to authenticate/execute the action 6,"
8: CRASH
Actual Results:  
crash

Expected Results:  
just work

Hi, 

I have the same bug here. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 Beta (but neither GNOME nor Unity running -- only KDE 4.10.2, amd64). 

The bug only occurs if you:
1. Open Date & Time settings
2. Enable or disable the NTP checkbox (this takes a few seconds to save the settings and update the time (I guess it does that) if you enable the checkbox).
3. Click on Overview to go back or close the window.
4. => AND then click on the Popup which asks you to save the changes <=

If you click instead on Cancel, Date & Time doesn't crash (but the changes are still saved).

My crash info:
Application: System Settings (systemsettings), signal: Segmentation fault

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2015-02-27 19:02:37 UTC 
Git commit b6ae01ca8ea776c97cc57836401ca9696e2529e8 by David Edmundson.
Committed on 14/02/2015 at 13:50.
Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'.

Add systemd support into the clock KCM as an optional dependency

The current time setting helper is incredibly broken.

It manually tries to run a range of NTP utilities, all of which are
deprecated.

We can just call timedated directly and cut out the middleman as it has
uses polkit anyway.

This is currently an optional dependency, and the original helper still
exists. It makes the code messy, but we have users to support for now.

Detection is done at runtime
