If system clock is too late (or too far in the future) ntpd will not update it=20 =C2=ABNormally, ntpd exits if the offset exceeds the sanity limit, which is 1000 s by default. =C2=BB [1]=20 Is this your case? > Also in Xfce DE Clock.

Set your clock (via date command or some GUI) and then "sudo hwclock =2D-systohc" to update your BIOS clock.
