I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #1575572 I am seeing this problem on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine that has the update "This bug was fixed in the package init-system-helpers - 1.29ubuntu2" mentioned as being a fix for that bug but ntpd is still broken on booting. I am seeing this: Jul 12 14:14:43 metop ntpd[1933]: unable to bind to wildcard address :: - another process may be running - EXITING Jul 12 14:14:50 metop ntpdate[1758]: step time server 134.36.22.27 offset 0.264278 sec So basically the systemd dependency arrangement is broken: ntpdate is slow now (as for comment #16 above) and not exiting before ntpd is started, it then it fails due to ntpdate still running. A later manual start of ntpd works fine, but that is not an acceptable situation for machines that are unattended and/or used by people that don't have administrative rights (or knowledge) to manually start ntpd later. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
