Disable synchronizing clock to ntp.ubuntulinux.org..

[orvils]

Does anyone know how to "Disable synchronizing clock to ntp.ubuntulinux.org.."

the old method doesn't work, as there is no service name called 'ntpdate'

any ideas?

$ sudo update-rc.d ntp-server remove


If that does not work, what does the following return:


$ ls /etc/rc?.d/*ntp*

$ sudo update-rc.d ntp-server remove

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/ntp-server exists during rc.d purge (continuing)
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/ntp-server ...

Looks like you are still running ntpdate


$ sudo update-rc.d ntpdate remove


Should fix it.

If...


ls /etc/rc?.d/*ntp*


...returns the same as before, manually remove /etc/rc2.d/K50ntpdate /etc/rcS.d/S51ntpdate.
