It has Ubuntu Mate 16.04, with MATE Tweak I changed panel layout to Redmond.
Setting up time with openntpd
I don't have Odroid-U3 realtime clock with battery addon. I had problems with NTP server that was included, it did not setup time correctly, so on Chromium and Firefox I got certificate errors. To fix this I installed openntpd:
sudo apt-get --purge remove ntp
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt install openntpd
I did uncomment debian NTP server pool and added to Finland NTP server pool by at /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf :
# FI pool
servers 0.fi.pool.ntp.org
servers 1.fi.pool.ntp.org
servers 2.fi.pool.ntp.org
servers 3.fi.pool.ntp.org
Then I did run openntpd with these commands:
openntpd -s
After that Odroid-U3 is at correct time. I added this to /etc/rc.local to setup time at boot.
Turning blue blinking led off
I added these to bottom of /etc/rc.local :
# Turn blue blinking led off
echo none > /sys/class/leds/led1/trigger
# Setup time at boot
openntpd -s
exit 0
