Re: NTPD error

Welcome to the Arch Linux forums. Your post seems to indicate that you are not running Arch, because you would have to have manually enable/start that service before you would need to stop it, therefore you would already know *how* to do that part. If you are, in fact, running Arch, please let us know.

Yes, I'm running Arch but it´s my first time using it. I work for a company that give's service to many different projects, one of this projects work's with Arch and they told me that they aren't able to synchronize the system clock, so that's why I posted the previous problem.

The output of

$ ntpq -p

would be useful.

Another possibility is that you have conflicting time synchronization  services.

$ find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | sort

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
