The computer has woken up only once and there are multiple messages saying the clock jumped forward? That is weird. Any chance the new timed daemon is interfering with the clock? There was a post on the -users list how it can be disabled. > default 10:50:27.870498 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 2515 sec > default 11:03:37.562446 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 726 sec > default 11:13:09.089973 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 509 sec > default 11:24:47.813544 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 634 sec > default 11:48:42.549234 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 1370 sec > default 11:59:14.299004 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 568 sec > default 12:07:12.278786 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 414 sec > default 12:15:39.292438 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 443 sec > default 12:22:41.193034 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 421 sec > default 12:38:12.883794 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 869 sec > default 12:53:20.946749 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 844 sec > default 13:01:26.979030 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 422 sec > default 13:11:23.024359 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 590 sec > default 13:15:12.492138 +0700 chronyd Forward time jump detected! > 173 sec > > Should I be worried about these erratic (and difficult to believe) jumps? > Should check_current_time() really run while the computer is (or should be) > sleeping? chronyd needs to throw away all data when the system clock was stepped or adjusted by something outside of chronyd, e.g. reinitialized from the RTC after a suspent/resume cycle. Comparing the timestamps taken before and after select() is one (although not completely reliable) way to detect that. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
