Description of problem: See summary. Error message = "Impossible de synchroniser avec 'ca.pool.ntp.org'." (Impossible to synchronise with ...) 'north-america.pool.ntp.org' was also tried, with same result. Function accessed via MCC/System/Configure date & time. My ntp.conf file contains already server 0.ca.pool.ntp.org server 1.ca.pool.ntp.org server 2.ca.pool.ntp.org Note that http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/ca suggests an additional line of server 3.ca.pool.ntp.org Don't think that that would make any difference. Entering '0.ca.pool.ntp.org' in navigator shows that site does respond.
Use desktop mate fully up to date. Another user reports same problem on KDE Plasma.

You have to use a suitable ntp server, such as documented here: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html I'm closing this ticket as invalid, as I don't see any evidence of a software/package malfunction here.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => INVALID
BTW, I couldn't reproduce the issue, even using the same server set, meaning your issue may not be related to your ntp setup.
It must have been a transient problem in the pool.ntp.org network (at least for ca and north-america), since it now works without making any changes in my configuration.
