/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate executes it's code between ()& starting on line 25. this is to be able to wait until /usr is mounted, when it isn't already. If that check is disabled, and the run-in-background ampersand is commented out (line 46), the ntp daemon starts just fine.
No matter to further explain my view on this thing, since ntpdate is deprecated ;-) But maybe it's an easy and quick fix to remove /etc/network/if-up/ntpdate from the repo ? Without that script, there is no problem... Maybe it can be replaced by a normal startup-script as there was in earlier times ? -- 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
