Package: systemd-timesyncd
Version: 256.4-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
some time ago, syncing my Laptop clock seems to have stopped working. I can tell
how it slowly drifts away from other, radio-controlled clocks in my apartment.
This is despite systemd-timesync being set up for automatic synchronization:
$ timedatectl
Local time: Fr 2024-08-30 08:58:25 CEST
Universal time: Fr 2024-08-30 06:58:25 UTC
RTC time: Fr 2024-08-30 06:58:25
Time zone: Europe/Zurich (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
$ systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service

Manually restarting systemd-timesyncd.service seems to trigger a sync.
$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service
$ timedatectl
Local time: Fr 2024-08-30 08:59:19 CEST

System clock synchronized: yes
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
Note how "System clock synchronized" switched to "yes". Manual comparison with a
radio-controlled clock also confirms that they are in sync now. But obviously, I
shouldn't have to manually restart this service to get it to synchronize the
clock.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to even debug this.
Kind regards,
Ralf
