It's really annoying to have to remember to restart manually ntpd after each reboot. timesyncd is 5 seconds off for me, so ntpd is the only option. Obviously half the time I forget to restart ntpd and things get out of sync across my servers. I obviously can reproduce this systematically on many servers.
This is how it looks after startup : $ systemctl status ntp.service systemd-timesyncd.service ● ntp.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ntp.service; enabled; vendor preset: enab Active: inactive (dead) Docs: man:ntpd(8) ● systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled; vendo Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d └─disable-with-time-daemon.conf Active: inactive (dead) Condition: start condition failed at Fri 2020-04-24 10:57:43 PDT; 2min 19s ago └─ ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/ntpd was not met Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8) What extra info is needed for this bug ?
