time synchronization

[LL-user]

As part of customising a Linux Lite 7.6 installation I indented to activate "keep synchronized with internet servers" in the Time and Date Settings.

When choosing this option a pop-up window appears:


Selecting "Install NTP support" results in:


I noticed that Linux Lite is not using the Ubuntu default systemd-timesyncd.service but ntpd. So ntp is actually installed.

So are users expected to just ignore this setting while synchronization has been implemented in Linux Lite by default?

Any feedback would be appreciated, esp. to my question.

The described behaviour/bug can also be observed in a Linux Lite 7.8 live session.

@jerry, what am I missing here, please?

Same with Linux Lite 7.8 being installed.

Thanks, TC! Highly appreciate that you took the time to reply.
I haven't spun up an Ubuntu machine yet to check whether users run into the same issue there.
