<p>I've also sent these changes to <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606107">Debian</a> and <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449267">GNOME</a> as appropriate.</p>
-<p>There are still a few problems. The "Synchronise now" button doesn't work quite right in general (<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90524">bug #90524</a>), and if your network doesn't allow time synchronisation from <code>ntp.ubuntu.com</code> then you'll have to change the value of <code>NTPSERVERS</code> in <code>/etc/default/ntpdate</code>. Furthermore, the <code>time-admin</code> interface is confusing and makes it seem as though the default is not to synchronise the time automatically; I'm told that this interface is being <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate">redesigned</a> at the moment. On the whole, though, I think that many fewer people should have this kind of problem in Ubuntu 11.04.</p>

<p>It's always possible that I missed some other problem that breaks automatic time synchronisation for people. Please do file a bug report if it still doesn't work for you in 11.04, or contact me directly (cjwatson at ubuntu.com).</p>
