Hi Guys, On the rpi3 since it does not seem to have any CMOS battery type thing (correct me if I'm wrong), it boots with the epoch time on boot every time. I am using the following image:
http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.2/appliances/openSUSE-Leap42.2-ARM-XFCE-raspberrypi3.aarch64.raw.xz I have added an internal corporate ntp server to /etc/ntp.conf, which works fine, but it takes quite a while for the ntp daemon to sync the time. The time needs to be correct as some things I am using on the rpi3 depend on the time being correct (such as docker). Generally about four minutes in, the time successfully changes: Thu Jan 1 01:03:50 IST 1970 Thu Mar 16 11:45:19 GMT 2017 I am connected via ethernet, I see the daemon is configured in systemd to start after network.target, but it seems this is not enough (maybe it's too soon to start the ntp daemon?) to get the time synced quickly. Also when this time jump occurs, XFCE decides to lock my screen, so I have to login again. Any ideas on solutions, before I come up with my own? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
