Switch to timesyncd in Ubuntu 16.04

[Lukas Erlacher]

Hello,

I would like to remove ntpd and switch to systemd-timesyncd in Ubuntu 16.04. It seems that by default ntpd and ntpdate are installed and in use. Removing the ntp package lets timesyncd start, but it doesn't sync time, and journalctl tells me ntpdate was used to set the time, and also that ntp.service was still active - /etc/init.d/ntp still exists (although it belongs to ) and the ntp service is still present and active and tries to start ntp, which fails.

So what is the correct way to remove ntpd and enable timesyncd?

Best,
Luke
