The above instructions come from the Fedora 19 documentation.

That documentation is for Fedora 13. I believe since Release 15, Fedora uses systemctl for configuring services like ntpd, although service ntpd restart might still work.

Something like...

systemctl status ntpd.service
systemctl start ntpd.service

NTP config should be accessible from the GUI, but I don't use Gnome3, so I don't know where it might be located in that Desktop Environment.

okay, thanks everyone for trying to help. I guess I will just live with it.

Oops. Sorry about that, molly. I would still expect it to work as long as you can start the NTP daemon.

I restarted and then I opened terminal and went to root, then put in this command.
chkconfig ntpd on
This is what I got below.

[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig ntpd on
error reading information on service ntpd: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

I turned server sync off with mine (Windows though), and it seems to be fine now. :lol

Thanks but I don't know where to find that in Linux. I will try searching
I typed in server and settings came up then sharing.
under computer name it says local host local domain
beside media sharing, it shows off
beside remote login, it says on
I don't supposed this is what I am looking for is it?

Molly,

Enter this in terminal and post the results back here...

From what I gather, since F19, Fedora no longer uses NTP (even though it references it in your output). It uses chronyd instead, which should be enabled by default.

According to the output you posted, NTP (via chronyd) is not enabled or sync'd so that is your problem. What is the output from the following command?

systemctl status chronyd.service

To start chronyd, issue the following command as root

systemctl start chronyd

To ensure chronyd starts automatically at system start, also issue the following as root

systemctl enable chronyd

molly · **Joined:** Apr 07, 2010 **Posts:** 14182

Is this what it should look like?
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start chronyd
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable chronyd
[root@localhost ~]#

GnuTux · **Posted:** Mon Feb 03, 2014 10:52 am **(#36)**

Try these two instead...

systemctl start chronyd.service
systemctl enable chronyd.service

Then, post the output back to here from..

systemctl status chronyd.service

Tux, I think my clock just fixed itself, I just looked up and it says 10:53 Should I reboot to see if it stays that way first?

GnuTux · **Posted:** Mon Feb 03, 2014 10:55 am **(#38)**

It didn't fix itself.

We are almost done.

Go ahead and issue the last 3 commands I posted and post the output from the last one.
