[SOLVED] cant get arch to sync time ( timedatecl to sync)

golam71 · 2022-03-11 15:19:15

This is the output of timedatectl

[root@Arch ~]# timedatectl
                Local time: Fri 2022-03-11 20:42:55 +06
                Universal time: Fri 2022-03-11 14:42:55 UTC
                RTC time: Fri 2022-03-11 14:42:56
                Time zone: Asia/Dhaka (+06, +0600)
                System clock synchronized: no
                NTP service: active
                RTC in local TZ: no

i wanted to set " System clock synchronized: no" to " System clock synchronized: yes"
no matter what i try the clock does not sync

i tried the following

    hwclock --systohc
    timedatectl set-ntp true
    systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd

how ami suppsed to sync time with arch?

So the problem would seem to be that you don't have a connection.

And please use code tags when posting things like this.

i have internet i can ping those ntp.org servers

Scimmia · 2022-03-11 15:57:52

That doesn't mean something else isn't blocked, such as the port being used.

GeorgeJP · 2022-03-11 15:59:45

Do you use some firewall (iptables, nft ...) ?

Does restarting systemd-timesyncd or systemd-networkd sync the time?

Please post the complete system journal (sudo journalctl -b) and the output of "find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f"

You have three conflicting networking services and three conflicting NTP services enabled. Decide which of the network services you want to use, if NetworkManager disable systemd-networkd(... and -networkd-wait-online) and iwd, if the others disable at least NetworkManager and disable ntp and ntpdate if you intend this to be handled by systemd-timesyncd.

Also that isn't anything useful of the journal, rerun the command and paste the output somewhere: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

Please consider the above to be your last warning about using code tags. Fix your posts before you post again.

hi um i did solve the problem i had to disable the other 3 network manager services and the ntp services but i dont get the code tags part i did read the wiki it didint say anything about code tags it just said about bold yellow and crossed

maybe like this

 test

yeah now i get it close the post and i will add code tags to all of my previous messages and i am really sorry for this mess

Please mark it as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … ow_to_post

golam71 · 2022-03-15 06:52:52

ok so heres what i did in whole

firstly i pasted the following

  find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

it showed me what services where working so i disabled all other network manager and ntp services
i had 3 running as someone said before
i stopped all of them and kept only these 2

 NetworkManager.service                   | multi-user.target.wants
NetworkManager-wait-online.service       | network-online.target.wants

and for ntp service i had

 systemd-timesyncd.service

and then it was working but currently my isp has blocked the ntp service ip's or thats what i think so now
i disabled systemd-timesyncd.service . it was not working anyways and got a new ntp service
this time

 
sudo pacman -S ntp
sudo systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd.service
sudo systemctl enable ntpdate.service

hope this helps
thank you for your help <3

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
