Re: KDE Plasma "set date and time automatically" greyed (inactive)

Thank you for the quick answer alium.
This is not a big deal since it is possible to update the time with the config files.
Anyway when I'm trying to start the NTP service manually i get this error:
[MatMac@Artix ~]$ sudo pacman -S ntp

This is a bit off topic but I'm curious how the ntp works.
