https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796055 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796055#c0 Summary: GNOME Control Center NTP integration broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mike.catanzaro@gmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0 The "Network Time" switch in GNOME Control Center's Date and Time module does not work. You can flip it to "On" and it won't give any warning that anything went wrong, but it won't work. Running from command line reveals: (gnome-control-center:24049): datetime-cc-panel-WARNING **: Could not set system to use NTP: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: No such file or directory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press the switch. Actual Results: Nothing happens, except the switch misleadingly changes. Expected Results: ntpd is enabled or disabled So this is a tricky issue. Asides from the variety of outstanding NTP bugs, this particular problem is that GNOME 3.4 has completely dropped support for NTP unless systemd is enabled. Building gnome-control-center without systemd support just leads to a broken NTP setting. (The timezone setting is also suspiciously broken, but that might be a separate issue so let's not address it here.) But it's also broken on openSUSE even WITH systemd, because we disable systemd-timedated by default - and that's correct for us to do, because we have no ntpd.service file. (We instead use an initscript for ntpd, but initscripts are incompatible with systemd-timedated.) For a long-term solution, we must provide a systemd unit for ntpd and get rid of the initscript. Unfortunately that will probably require some love for YaST. Also, that's not acceptable for 12.2, since we're still required to support SysV init. So for now, we have to either (a) patch gnome-control-center to not require timedated, or (b) patch gnome-control-center to remove the Network Time switch entirely. Unfortunately (a) is very intrusive. Debian has accomplished it, but it requires large changes to both gnome-control-center and gnome-system-daemon. GCC Patch: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/gnome-control-center/1:3.4.2+git2012... GSD Patch: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/gnome-settings-daemon/3.4.2+git20120... (b) seems hardly a better option, since providing a GUI for NTP is kind of important - but we should consider it. Live CD users already must use YaST to configure NTP since the installer is broken; a working GNOME interface will not help with that, so the value of this for 12.2 is limited. (But it would be a shame to release 12.3 with NTP still broken, whereas (a) would address that.) -- 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.

But for 12.2 it is a GNOME bug (since we cannot require systemd). -- 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.

It's not the lightest or best solution, but it seems to work perfectly. This also fixes the timezone, which is broken in 12.2 but I not in Factory. (Right now the patch does conflict with the patch that allows all users to change the timezone. I'll try to fix that before submitting.) And it should work for SysV init too, yay. We can definitely apply that patch to 12.3 as well, but that won't address the underlying issue. I've added NTP and systemd bugowners Peter and Frederic to help figure out what's wrong - hi. Keep in mind that I'm new and everything I said above may or may not be sensible. -- 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.

Also, I believe this needs a security audit since it touches Dbus and polkit?

Thanks for doing all this! Great to see somebody with so much energy and passion jumping in. The patches don't look wrong for 12.2... in g-c-c, you should correct the .changes to mention the removed patches by name (as per the packaging guidelines)... other than that, it looks ok. The final submit can be done in one step: in the web ui, on your project level, you should see a submit button.. this will take all the updates together and submit them to 12.2:Update.. .where one 'patchinfo' file around them will ensure they go together. It might be worthy to verify what the side effects are if only one of the packages is installed / updated... be it only to be aware for when new bug reports come in, to be able to say "hey, I know what's it: you only installed g-c-c from the updates and missed g-s-d". For 12.3: Tough one.. I recommend to track this in a sep. bug item, to be able to clearly distinguish between the two (makes communication easier). In any case, an upstream bug would be recommended as well: the goal should be to find a solution that works for every case without carrying a patch in the long run -- 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.

The special timezone-only permission was provided by timedated. If you want to be able to change the timezone without authentication we will have to (a) patch 12.2/12.3 gnome-settings-daemon timezone portion to respect the timedated policy instead of its own, or (b) adjust the current patch to use timedated for timezone switching and gnome-settings-daemon only for NTP, or (c) drop the current patch and write a new one where g-c-c does the NTP switch itself. I think (a) would probably be easiest... just that won't be useful in the long term, because this patch never made it into GNOME:Factory. systemd 198 provides a CanNTP property which GNOME 3.8 checks, so the patch isn't needed anymore. In Factory you should currently be able to change timezone without authentication. The long term problems are: * the NTP toggle will be insensitive unless something changes, since CanNTP ought to return false, since there's no NTP unit (Bug #803644). * we really need to rebase/upstream the finegrained-tz-polkit patch. -- 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.

The previous patch worked, and while ntp integration in g-c-c was broken, as you rightly point out, my understanding is that enabling it in YaST is a do-it-once-and-forget sort of thing. Requiring a root password every time to change the timezone makes it quite clumsy on the other hand (may be I am biased because I am travelling all the time and have to make use of the change timezone feature often, but nonetheless...) I think this is quite a severe usability regression from stock 12.3 (and indeed 12.2), and if nothing else, I would request that the previous patch be restored in favour of the present one. -- 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.

Specifically, org.freedesktop.timedate1.set-timezone is used, as it was when 12.2 and 12.3 were released, rather than the more general (and, by default, more restrictive) org.gnome.settingsdaemon.datetimemechanism.configure. Sorry for having broken this Atri; I was focused on getting NTP working and I didn't realize the importance of the timezone patch. Can I submit a maintenance request? (I'll need to prepare an equivalent update for 12.2 as well.) -- 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.
