Right now, the "Set date and time automatically" option is greyed if I don't have ntpdate or rdate installed. Please support systemd-timesyncd too. It is part of the recent systemd releases and works well as a minimal ntp client. Perhaps just execute "systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd ; systemctl start systemd-timesyncd" when the user enables 'Set date and time automatically'. Obviously keep ntpdate/rdate as first choices.
Yep, this module needs someone familiar with the system clock internals and make it work on recent systems.
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.
