Description claire robinson 2015-01-12 15:09:05 CET

Live ISOs ignore NTP setting which is set when booting in live mode and use both chronyd and systemd-timesyncd. This is carried through to the installed system

Attaching..

# journalctl -b -1 | grep -i -e chrony -e timesync -e ntp > /home/user/live.txt

and

# journalctl -b | grep -i -e chrony -e timesync -e ntp > /home/user/installed.txt

from the installed system.

Reproducible:

Comment 3 Angelo Naselli 2015-01-25 14:59:25 CET

Claire i cannot understand which is the side effect in having both. Looking at installed.txt seems that both are trying to sync clock
chronyd from 178.63.64.14 and 85.21.78.91
and 
systemd-timesyncd from 216.239.32.15:123 (time1.google.com).

But I see that setting NTP in drackclock could at least disable systemd-timesyncd,
since it does not manage it

Comment 4 claire robinson 2015-01-25 16:01:45 CET

When neither is selected during installation, neither should be sync'ing the clock though really.

I'm not sure the effect of having multiple services installed, they could conceivably end up fighting each other.

Comment 5 Angelo Naselli 2015-01-25 16:11:34 CET

I think we missed to change the chronyd.service with
Conflicts=ntpd.service systemd-timesyncd.service
and to add a similar line to ntpd.service
Conflicts=chronyd.service systemd-timesyncd.service

That should stop systemd-timesyncd.service i believe

We should find some solution for this before releasing Mageia 6.

Why is this only a problem on the Live isos?

Comment 10 Angelo Naselli 2016-09-12 16:24:41 CEST

If nothing changed in drakxclock i don't think it's only a matter of Live.
The problem is that systemd-timesyncd is installed and starts by default, if drakxclock does not manage it, it should at least disable it regardless if it installed or not e.g without care of command output. manaclock manages systemd-timesyncd but the code is pretty changed since it uses dbus.

Comment 11 Rémi Verschelde 2016-10-18 09:44:59 CEST

Assigning to Mageia tools maintainers as it seems to affect more than just live ISOs, as per comment 10.

Also, the release blocker status of this bug might have to be reassessed based on our current priorities.

AFAIC, it should be disabled by default in systemd...

Thierry pushed systemd-230-8 which fixed the build, so this one should be fixed.
