Hmm, I also found this line in my log (this time it booted OK): Jul 12 18:41:47 redacted.example.org ntpdate[2184]: name server cannot be used: Temporary failure in name resolution (-3)
I'm wondering whether it's either a) failing to start ntp because ntpdate isn't running because it couldn't resolve names because bind9 had not yet started, and the drift was too large (sometimes) b) (the opposite) only working when ntpdate times out if it starts its query too early. Seems to me like ntpdate should be waiting to start until name resolution works - probably ntpd too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577596 Title: ntpd not started when using ntpdate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1577596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
