On openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.9 (same with 4.8 and earlier) when I start my network via NetworkManager (wired or wireless), NTP seems not quite right. I is runnuig. But it does not set the time right unless I restart it. It has been this way for a while (months). Here is a sample of what I mean:
# rcntp status redirecting to systemctl ntp.service - LSB: Network time protocol daemon (ntpd) Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp) Active: inactive (dead) since Fri, 31 Aug 2012 21:13:26 +0200; 4h 39min ago Process: 2309 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/ntp stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 1274 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ntp start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntp.service
# date Sat Sep 1 01:52:46 CEST 2012
# rcntp restart redirecting to systemctl
# date Fri Aug 31 23:53:46 CEST 2012
The final date after the restart is correct. Have I missed doing something?
No you haven't. The problem is that ntp tries to run during bootup but without a running network it fails. I have this same problem on my laptop even though I have the wireless set to start at boot time, ntp startup is before (network manager) network startup.
My wireless starts when I log in. Being a laptop, the connection does change. I had this issue a year or so ago. Then it was fixed. It reappeared somewhere in 12.1. Since I have not heard screams and threats, I guessed it was my own private issue. So I count two of us with the issue. Anyone else have a non-functional ntp when starting wireless at login via NetworkManager? I do indeed have a dual boot system with Winders 7 as the evil other. I have the hardware clock set to UTC (set in BIOS). I know that Windows mucks about with this. But I am 95% certain I set the BIOS correct after a Windows boot. I will check again.
