New Updates For A New Decade | The Roundup #14

WetGeek

KingLucius I confirm this issue , Automatic time update is turn itself off after turning it on by about 25 seconds.

Now that this is an open issue, I remember that something seemed odd as I installed a new Solus Budgie VM recently. Normally I let the installer find the correct time zone automatically. This recent time, though, I had to select it manually. Since that's a trivial task, I didn't think much of it. Until new. Perhaps that's another clue?

WetGeek Did you tried the link after the edit ? it solved the issue at my end.

I'm not sure what link you mean. I'm sure I didn't try any link, though.

Automatic Date & Time was switching from ON to OFF on its own while systemd-timesyncd.service was broken here.

Once systemd-timesyncd has been fixed - remains active all the time, - Automatic Date & Time remains permanently ON and doesn't switch to OFF anymore. I.e., works normally.

n2o WetGeek this is the commands I meant. try them it solved the issue at my end

n2o

sudo rm /var/lib/systemd/timesync
sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service

Did the job here too. Same behaviour with time sync turning itself off.

I'll try those commands on one VM now, but I'm still hoping that next week's upgrade will fix it for all the other machines. Looking at the commands, I suspect it will be fixed there. Thanks!

WetGeek

KingLucius this is the commands I meant.

Yes. The Automatic Date & Time setting turned itself ON as soon as I'd executed those commands, and it's stayed on for long enough for me to call that problem fixed. Maybe I will take the time to fix all these machines now.

Maybe the problem did not occur to all of them and a check would be good with : timedatectl status

It was the same for me and the workaround from mate-user helped.

greetings

WetGeek

picnerd a check would be good with : timedatectl status

Yes, thanks. I'd never used that command before, but it looks very useful. It generates a lot of good info!

elfprince

WetGeek Same here regarding Date & Time on my Solus Budgie. Was off, so I turned it on. Thanks! 😁

WetGeek

elfprince

Did you also invoke the two commands that n2o told us about? If not, expect that setting to revert to OFF after a short delay. After I executed those, it soon turned that setting ON automatically.

elfprince

WetGeek Yup, and saved them in my Solus-Hints file for the future! 😃

WetGeek

I've now applied that fix to all the Solus machines here (real and virtual) except for my Solus Plasma VM. I'll leave that one untouched for now, in order to evaluate what's fixed by the next system upgrade. Also interested in seeing whether my NAS shares load properly without changing the fstab entries to defaults and running mount -a.

I hope none of these adventures has affected your work. By the way, I'm curious ... where are you located?

elfprince

WetGeek Winnipeg, Canada. All is running smoothly here! No problems.

elfprince Winnipeg, Canada.

That explains it. Your English is better than that of some of my American friends. I figured it was probably your first language. 😄

elfprince

WetGeek Wow, maybe because it is not my first language, so had to learn it. I am from eastern Europe. Have Russian/Hungarian parents. Thanks! 😂

n2o

elfprince @WetGeek People with Hungarian background speak most languages without any trouble because Hungarian is impossible to learn as a foreigner (even worse than German which is my mother language). Egészségére!

n2o versuch mal isländisch, oder das dem ungarisch nahe finnisch zu lernen. ich bin momentan isländisch am lernen und das geht mir schwer ab. norwegisch hingegen hat man als deutscher recht schnell auf der kette, wenn man zumindest eine deutsche mundart, bzw dialekt beherscht.
zum glück gibt es ja ganz passable online übersetzer. wenn ich hier ohne diese übersetzer mein grottiges englisch anwenden würde, käme sicher gelächter und spott über mich. ;-)

elfprince

Better stop here, for I hear heavy footsteps approaching.... 🤣
