Please provide me the output of "systemctl is-enabled ntp.service"

ntp.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig ntp --level=5 ntp 235 enabled The symptoms have changed a little since I reported this bug: During bootup, I fleetingly see messages from ntpd run past on the text console, telling me that it failed to connect with any of (IIRC, I'm quoting from memory): 0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org At the end of the boot sequence, the ntp service remains enabled and running, but when the (KDE upstream) login screen comes up, its clock is almost always one hour late (the exception is after a "warm reboot", telinit 6 or equivalent). At that moment, logging in as root on /dev/tty1 and typing rcntp restart shows that ntpd succeeds to contact three time-guard servers but with an offset of -3600 on the first one. After that, hitting Ctrl-Alt-F7 shows that the login clock has been set right. I suspect that with the change from System V Init to systemd/systemctl, the following happened: (a) the ntp service became started too early, before my DSL-over-Ethernet connection could be functional; (b) saving the system clock into the CMOS at system shutdown time was forgotten, so that my CMOS clock (set to local time) is still running on "summer time" the way it was begin November before I upgraded to openSUSE 12.1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Isn't that the wrong sequence? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Since openSUSE 12.1 you can configure ntp to set the time periodicaly. Furhteremore, the best way to get the correct time is to keep the CMOS time in UTC. Setting CMOS in local time couses a lot of trouble. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't know exactly which file was modified (not /etc/crontab) but the change persists over a reboot (by means of "init -6"). I still think that the system scripts should be adjusted to give a DSL-over-Ethernet connection the time to be fully operational before starting the NTP service. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Other network programs (browser, mail-news-RSS client, chat, YaST, zypper, FTP client) have to wait for a login (usually an X11 login; for zypper, ftp and YaST cursesUI it could also be a /dev/tty* login), and human reaction times being what they are, this gives the DSL connection the time it needs to become operational. Currently I'm down to 15 seconds sleep in that cron@reboot job (comment #7), and it is still long enough for the "restarted" NTPD to connect successfully to the time servers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
