Selecting 'Daemon + Drift' as ntp method does not set date #1208
Comments
Jep, choosing 'Daemon + Drift' doesn't seem to have any effect. No service/process of ntp can be found active. |
Quick test on Odroid C2, unable to replicate:
Could be specific to our OPi Zero image. |
https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/time-synchronization-with-ntp-and-systemd/ In any case the ntp package is not necessary anymore, so should be purged if timesyncd is used, and pool server can be changed via |
Great find 👍
So in theory, we could simply |
Jep, this also works on Jessie and we can keep installation slim this way. ntp pools need to be set in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf then. But in terms of memory consumption ntp called by cron is still the preferred way, as systemd-timesyncd consumes up to 5M on my VMs + additional dbus memory. |
👍 I'll add this to v159 milestone |
It has been suggested to me that timesyncd may not work on a Read Only filesystem https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/ensuring-emonpi-emonbase-time-is-synchronised-with-an-ntp-server/5487/11 Not sure if this is useful information or not. |

Works great, also tested with Jessie and Stretch VMs back and forth 🙂. |
Excellent 👍 I'll mark this as completed. |
**v159** (10/11/17) **Image Modifications:** VMWare | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219 VirtualBox | Updated to Debian Stretch, many thanks @MichaIng: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1219 RPi | Updated to Debian Stretch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475 **Changes / Improvements / Optimizations:** General | Odroid XU3/4 images updated: Includes kernel support for EMMC 5.1 (thanks Meveric): https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1252 General | DietPi RPi kernel: Updated to 4.9.62. General | DietPi RPi kernel: Will no longer re-install, if the current version is already at latest. General | Added farenheit readouts for cpu_info and dietpi-config. For those "over the pond" :D : http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2516&p=9772#p9772 General | Sparky SBC: Kernel update to add support for USB 1.1 DACs, thanks @sudeep. This must be enabled manually, if using a USB 1.1 DAC, as this breaks Allo WiFi dongle. Edit "/DietPi/uEnv.txt" and change the value "aotg.aotg1_speed=1" (from "0"), then reboot. General | We now define a default LD_LIBRARY_PATH for all systems, exported from /etc/bash.bashrc: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/475#issuecomment-350380744 DietPi-Services | Run "dietpi-services help" to see a full list of updated commands: Added support for "enable" and "disable". "disable" will stop and disable the service and prevent it from running, "enable" will enable and start the service. EG: "dietpi-services disable cron", will prevent Cron from starting. Added support for start/stop/restart a single service (eg: dietpi-services stop apache2). This is basically a symlink to systemD: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1114 DietPi-Config | WiFi: Now uses the wpa_supplicant.conf method to setup WiFi connections. WEP is no longer supported by DietPi in this mode. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and OPEN hosts supported: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1262 DietPi-Backup | "Full Backup" Mode is now the default for fresh DietPi installations. This is mainly due to MySQL data now being in the DietPi userdata directory.

Selecting 'Daemon + Drift' as ntp method does not set date
Required Information:
uname -a
? Linux DietPi 3.4.113-sun8i v64 #18 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 15 02:16:06 CEST 2017 armv7l GNU/LinuxAdditional Information (if applicable):
Expected behavior:
Selecting 'daemon + drift' as time syncronization method sets the correct date time
Actual behavior:
Date / Time is not being set correctly. Daemon does not seem to be running.
Steps to reproduce:
When creating a new image, in the dietpi setup configuration file, select 'Daemon + Drift' as ntp method.
Did you submit a
dietpi-bugreport
?31ce7a2b-3cd9-4754-a9b4-24ac5eba4b88-0
Extra details:
A message relating to ntp is seen during setup indicating it has been successful.
On a fresh install as tzdata is installed the following message is seen (indicating date/time has not been set)
Not sure what should be running as the daemon but there is no sign of ntpd or systemd-timesyncd
Package ntp is installed.
It seems reasonable to use systemd-timesyncd
My Solution locally
systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd.service
systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service
timedatectl set-ntp true
Reference used [(https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/time-synchronization-with-ntp-and-systemd/)] although he intimates that ntp cannot be installed alongside systemd-timesyncd.
