Fedora 28 VMs not updating time

[dmoerner]

Fedora 28 templates and Qubes 4.0.

qvm-sync-clock is updating dom0 to the wrong time because sys-net has the wrong time because systemd-timesyncd isn't starting with error status=238/STATE_DIRECTORY.

Fedora issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1559286.
Upstream report: systemd/systemd#7659

Manually changing /var/lib/private to 700, as mentioned in the above reports, fixed the problem for me. However, upstream commit systemd/systemd@ebe6ff6 which is merged in systemd in Fedora 28, which was supposed to fix this problem, seems not to have fixed it. Perhaps it needed to be combined with changing the permission on /var/lib/private in the Fedora package.

This happens to me on every boot.

In order to fix it, I need to launch a terminal in sys-net and chmod 0700 /var/lib/private; systemctl start systemd-timesyncd.service and then go to dom0 and do sudo qvm-sync-clock in order for things to be right.
