Public bug reported: Using Ubuntu 12.04 server.
The initscript /etc/init.d/chrony should set chrony to online-mode if Internet connectivity is detected. However, it always sets chrony to offline mode even when the machine is online. resulting in the machine's clock never being synchronized! I have copy-pasted some of the "if" in the script to see which one fails, and this one is it: "if timelimit -q -s9 -t5 -- netstat -rn 2>/dev/null | grep UG | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | grep -q '0\.0\.0\.0'" (FYI: The machine is online via a DSL-connection configured by "pppoeconf".) ** Affects: chrony (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034420 Title: Chrony initscript always sets chrony offline even with Internet connectivity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony/+bug/1034420/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
