I'm not sure if this is a real bug or a feature, but there is no ntp client in LiveGUI. I've tried ntp and openntpd, but they are not installed.
According to Handbook (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Automatic) ntp should be installed: >Official Gentoo live environments include the ntpd command (available through the >net-misc/ntp package) and a configuration file pointing to ntp.org time servers. >It can be used to automatically sync the system clock to UTC time using a time >server. Using this method requires a working network configuration and may not >be available on all architectures.
I think this was *intended* to be a feature, we install net-misc/chrony instead, which is preferred by many users. I think we could add net-misc/ntp back as well, just so the handbook instructions still apply.
