   This doesn't sound 'correct'.  In the LM forums, there are discussions   
   about the NTP function as far back as 2011.

   A useful command to address what you say above can be:   
      
   timedatectl   
      
   ... which on my system says:   
      
   System clock synchronized: yes   
                  NTP service: active   
      
   But the 'reference' at the forum about a 5 y/o guide at linuxhint is n/g   
   (for my system)   
      
   https://linuxhint.com/configure-ntp-linux-mint/   
      
   ... because the ntp package is not the way my LM takes care of the ntp.
