I have three problems which may or may not be related, but probably are since they all have to do with time.
Firstly, if I go into "Date & Time" and try to enable any NTP server (whether from the default list, or one on the local network---this is an office, and we do indeed run an NTP server) I get error messages along the lines of "Unable to contact time server: Public Time Server (pool.ntp.org)."
Secondly, although I have my time set to Edmonton (which is currently, in actual fact, Mountain Daylight Time, ie. MDT) the Clock widget and commandline checks like "uptime" claim the time at this writing is 00:30, which is UTC (right now it's 18:30 MDT). It does this whether or whether not I leave the (failing and constantly alerting me of this) NTP option checkmarked.
Thirdly, if I type "time MDT" into KRunner it gives me yet a third time, this time claiming it's 19:30, yet a third time (and an hour too far).
This is driving me crazy, and either I'm the only one who's ever encountered this or my Google-Fu is too weak. Can anyone help me?
