NTP

Cubieboard – setting time zone and NTP on ubuntu

I have just bought cubieboard and installed lubuntu and I want to have synchronized time with NTP server. NTP is a TCP/IP protocol for synchronising time over a network – Network Time Protocol.

This post describes:

  • Setting the timezone
  • Configuring NTP for clock synchronization

Setting the timezone

To check the time and timezone:

date
more /etc/timezone

To configure timezone execute: 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
