Hello Dimitri, After a quick check it looks like this service is still in inactive (dead) state even after a reboot.
ubuntu@kernel04:/lib/systemd$ sudo systemctl status systemd-timesyncd ● systemd-timesyncd.service Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit systemd-timesyncd.service is masked.) Active: inactive (dead) ubuntu@kernel04:/lib/systemd$ file /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service: cannot open `/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service' (No such file or directory) And there is no "systemd-timesyncd.service" file at where is should be. So yeah it's not running, our testing tool did not check the state first before trying to stop / start it. $ sudo systemctl edit systemd-timesyncd Cannot edit systemd-timesyncd.service: unit is masked. Let me see if I can un-mask it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882505 Title: ubuntu_ltp_syscalls failed to run on Focal s390x, unable to restart systemd-timesyncd.service Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Issue found on 5.4.0-34.38 s390x LPAR / zVM We need to stop timesyncd for the following tests: ['leapsec01','stime01','settimeofday01','clock_settime01'] But it looks like when we're trying to restart it: systemctl start systemd-timesyncd It will fail with: Failed to start systemd-timesyncd.service: Unit systemd-timesyncd.service is masked.
