I was having a problem with the time not properly reporting on the v2 geniatech linux distro on the atv520. So to fix this I took a look at what was going on. Here is what I found.
In /etc there was no ntp.conf file. So I decided to create one, because as far as I know ntpd the date/time daemon that pulls the datetime off the npt servers uses this .conf for it's server location.
So I used vi to create the ntp.conf and it looks like this:
# -------- GENERAL CONFIGURATION ---
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org
It is a pretty simple file.
After creating this I ran the command ntpd (this runs the ntp daemon) and rebooted. Bingo date time was correct.
I hope this helps.
