I tried to do both of the methods [here][1] to find the IP of my NTP server, but I was unable to do so successfully. In fact, the second method does not list the NTP server. Ironically, I need to find the NTP service to put into the space outlined in the second method. Any suggestions to find the IP of my NTP server would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Additional Information:

  • When running systemctl status ntp, I get error

  • If NTP server is installed it your computer, the IP address is the same as its IP. – Pilot6 Jun 09 '22 at 15:02
  • @Pilot6 Aren't NTP servers always installed on computers? I just assumed I had one. I tried installing ntp but was unable to. – MRSchwob Jun 09 '22 at 15:10
  • NTP isn't default installed for many years by now. You most likely have systemd-timesyncd (which is a service) - the CLI to query and control it is timedatectl which for your question would most likely be sudo timedatectl show-timesync. If you are on a Server you instead most likely have chrony which you can ask via chronyc sources. Does that help - if not could you please state on which Ubuntu release you are? – Christian Ehrhardt Jun 21 '22 at 11:02
