Time in Ubuntu 16.04 not updating from internet
I am new to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The time on my machine is not updating from internet. I have changed the CMOS battery and also installed ntp and ntpdate and ran sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com. But none of these worked for me.
Running below command temporarily updates the time
sudo date -s "$(wget -qSO- --max-redirect=0 google.com 2>&1 | grep Date: | cut -d' ' -f5-8)Z"
Is there any other way to update my system time? I don't want to set it manually every session.

@Efren No it didn't, I ended up pasting the above command in a script which runs everytime the machine starts

That's strange, so what was the timsyncd service status?

Ubuntu 16.04 works with timedatectl / timesyncd
Check the timseyncd service is ok: systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
Possibly something is blocking the service (eg: ntpd installed), so it avoids syncing to avoid conflicts.
Another possibility is that you may be running a VirtualBox and you may see an error like:
● systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d
└─disable-with-time-daemon.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Mon 2018-02-12 17:40:50 AEDT; 1min 31s ago
ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/VBoxService was not met
Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8)
This was a solution for this case: sudo VBoxService --timesync-set-start.
