   The 'normal' situation is that all that is completely setup from the   
   beginning, w/ the possible exception of the setting of the GUI NTP-on   
   switch, using your tz, the Ub NTP, and the default settings.   
      
   Then, as to the qx of 'what went wrong' for the past year that you   
   didn't have an operational NTP process, perhaps it was b0rken from the   
   gitgo somehow during the install, otherwise something must've b0rked it   
   along the way.   
      
   My point is that normally with that DE and that LM, the user doesn't   
   have to do anything but make sure the GUI switch is on.   
      
   I was surprised to find that it isn't that easy to change the NTP from   
   the default.  The only .conf file I could find that had the Ub NTP in it   
   was commented out, so that wasn't the 'real' one.
