Description

I can confirm this as well. My system was network connected I think (it was a VM) Changed from suggesting a beta blocker to a nice to have. As it doesn't seem to directly infringe on the release criteria, however would be nice to have fixed. *** Bug 859498 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I ran into this as well. Once I installed the ntp package (which created /etc/ntp.conf) and touched /etc/sysconfig/network, system-config-date was willing to play ball. (All it wanted to write to the latter file was "NTPSERVERARGS=iburst".) I could not reproduce this bug with the F18-Beta-TC3 Gnome and KDE Live CDs. Details are in Bug 856090, Comment 9. After installing: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network # Generated by anaconda NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain NTPSERVERARGS=iburst /etc/chrony.conf exists. /etc/ntp.conf does not. NB: chrony replaced NTP as of F16: "3.8.2. Chrony" "Fedora 16 uses Chrony as the default Network Time Protocol (NTP) client." http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html#id2975208 (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: ... > ... error popped up with "Couldn't write either > /etc/ntp.conf or /etc/sysconfig/network. Configuration unchanged.". ... Bug 858636 has a screenshot showing this message. A dupe? Discussed at 2012-10-11 NTH review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-qa/2012-10-11/f18beta-blocker-review-3.1.2012-10-11-16.04.log.txt . Rejected as NTH - network time sync isn't a very crucial function, and this can be fixed perfectly well with a post-release update, so there's no need to break freeze for it. *** Bug 858636 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc18, python-slip-0.2.21-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-16696/system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc18,python-slip-0.2.21-1.fc18 Package system-config-date-1.10.1-1.fc18, python-slip-0.2.21-1.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
