this, then, looks like a duplicate of bug 90267. Please have a look at the comments there.

A quick summary:

1. if ntp is started before network interfaces are active, then it will not work until restarted.

2. if ntp is running then ntpdate will not run (working as designed)

3. If network-manager is inactive, then ntp works OK (i.e., no issue as in (1))

4. if ntp is installed then the "synchronise now" button is grayed out (working as designed, AFAIK).

5. ntp will not make a big correction to the clock but instead will slowly adjust it (working as designed)
