Before I open a bugreport - what's the expected behaviour on a fresh installation? I'd vote for "enable chrony by default" [1] unless someone good reasons against that, or a better idea ;-) systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd
Never heard of chrony until now. ntpd has been the reference implementation and is fairly mature/standard. What are the benefits of chrony other than it is new? Chrony appears to be able to operate in an "isolated manner" (off-network). Ntpd doesn't have that because it was designed for an "always connected" environment and the kernel has it's own subsystem for keeping local time consistent -- measuring drifts and applying corrections. The only downside of chrony was a lack of support for hardware clocks like GPS and other hardware-based time devices, vs. ntp coming with an assortment of drivers. That's not like a big deal for 99.99% of the users who don't have such HW. Unless a user needs HW support or has a HW clock to synchronize their time, chrony sounds like a better fit for opensuse (caveat -- this is based on my readings & research, not actual usage). -l -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
