Description Laurent Caruso 2013-10-15 06:46:34 CEST 
TYPE OF DEFECT:
Improvement

SOFTWARE VERSION:
Magaia 3 Official Release (DVD installation)

PRECONDITIONS;
NTP has not been activated during installation

STEPS HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1- right click on the clock/time
2- select "set up time and date"
3- under NTP settings, tick the box to activate NTP
4- observe the text in the NTP server list

EXPECTED OUTCOME
closest NTP server should be set by default, according for ex to timezone.
(in my case timezone set to Helsinki, the default server should be "Europe|Finlande: fi.pool.ntp.org"

ACTUAL OUTCOME
"Africa|South Africa: za.pool.ntp.org" (first item in the list)  is set by default


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-17 22:30:05 CEST 
changing version as it seems not implemented

URL: (none) => http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/standalone/drakclock
Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages
Version: 3 => Cauldron
Source RPM: (none) => drakxtools

Comment 2 Laurent Caruso 2014-05-09 07:26:16 CEST 
The issue is fixed with Mageia 4 official release
Now NTP server field is set by default to "empty",  not to "Africa | South Africa" anymore.

However, the suggestion I made earlier, that NTP server should be automatically set by default according to timezone would be a nice improvement.
