I noticed this morning my calender was off by a whole day. Also my clock was a couple of minutes fast. Likely the date thing was a startup issues I had recently that caused me to spend some time in bios so I may have jacked up the date without noticing.
So next step is to get ntp working so this issue corrects itself in the future. Like a good GUI using boy, I went into System Settings> Date and Time> Set date and time automatically. Ticked the little box, selected North America, and was greeted with an error "Unable to contact time server: north-america.pool.ntp.org."
Hmm, did some searching, read some posts here and elsewhere. Discovered ntp is not installed by default (seems that the error should have reflected this). Installed and start ntp, went back to the above steps - same error. Did more searching - added the current ntp servers to /etc/ntp.conf, returned once again to the above steps - nada - no change. In fact the server list presented in System Settings is not the server list in ntp.conf.
During my searching, it appears the KDE4 system settings method is broken. Can anyone confirm or deny this or know a fix
It may just be the server list but I see no method to edit the list KDE4 is trying to use.
