Time cannot be set manually in mate-time-admin if ntp sync is unavailable (or disabled) about mate-control-center

Thank you for your testing. I will continue to modify and update the code

systemd-timesyncd is the ntp sync daemon installed on this system. It is enabled by default, and works fine.

Note that the time zone can be changed by clicking on the "Edit" button:

Moving comment to the issue itself:
Hello and thank you for taking a look into the issue #750

I'm testing this change on mate-control-center-1.26.0-2ubuntu3 (jammy) on Trisquel which comes without systemd-timesyncd enabled by default and I see no actual change from the original behaviour.

ubuntu noble ships 1.26.1-1.1build3, I'll try setup an environment that would match the one reported and see if something changes.

Regards.

I did test on Noble,

Steps to test

• Install Ubuntu Mate - Noble (24.04)
• Remove systemd-timesync
• Reboot
• Not possible to set time.

Apply fix commit

• Get source apt source mate-control-center
• apply patch 8fd4dd2, update version at changelog
• then rebuild (dpkg-buildpackage) and update binaries.
• Result: clean output in terminal, still not possible to modify the time.

End of testing.
