NTP/chronyd

[ruggerio]

Anybody else having issues, that chronyd sometimes crashes and time then is false on the pi?

Hi, are you sure you have set correctly the system to get date and time through the NTP ??

[ruggerio]

Yep. I've done this as usual whilst the installation of the device. firstboot asks for it.

Usually, it would do it, but if i restart the device, there seems to occur a problem and i drop on the 7th of march

[magistros]

hmm I see... I didn't set the ntp using the firstboot(I killed firstboot from the very first time)
try this:

Code: Select all

yum provides ntpdate

and install the package that yum provides to you.
After that,

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable ntpdate
sudo systemctl start ntpdate

Maybe the ntpdate isn't installed...

[ruggerio]

in fact, ntpdate is installed on my system. Time works okay, if i restart chrony. Is eventuall ntpdate needed while startup, or ntpdate is not yet ready when chronyd starts?

I gonna try this, enabling ntpdate and making ntpdate a dependency for chronyd in systemd while booting.

thx.

Sounds like the same thing as this (still open) bug report I filed http://trac.proximity.on.ca/projects/rpfr/ticket/372
