> Hmm. The systemd-timesyncd package is installed and systemd-

can you attach journalctl output from a full boot reproducing the
problem? I used your exact ntp config and it works fine for me, though
the systemd-time-wait-sync.service does of course stay 'activating' for
a few seconds until time is actually synced.
** No longer affects: systemd (Ubuntu Focal)
** No longer affects: systemd (Ubuntu Groovy)

** Description changed:
- [impact]
-
- systemd-time-wait-sync service never completes when systemd-timesyncd
- package is not installed
-
- [test case]
-
- remove the systemd-timesyncd package and enable the systemd-time-wait-
- sync service, and reboot. Check status of the service to see it's stuck
- in 'activating' state, e.g.:
-
- ubuntu@lp1937238-f:~$ sudo systemctl status systemd-time-wait-sync.service
- ● systemd-time-wait-sync.service - Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized
- Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-time-wait-sync.service;
enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
- Active: activating (start) since Fri 2021-07-23 15:32:12 UTC; 19s ago
-
- [regression potential]
-
- TBD
-
- [scope]
-
- this is needed in f and later
-
- the systemd-timesyncd package was split out from the main systemd
- package starting in focal, so this problem exists in f and later
-
- the service doesn't exist in b, so this is not needed there
-
- [original description]

When I start my server running Ubuntu 20.04 the systemd-time-wait-
sync.service is stuck in "activating" state. I noticed this because none
of the systemd timer units triggered, because all the timers depend on
systemd-time-wait-sync.service. Running "systemctl restart systemd-time-
wait-sync.service" manually works around the problem.
Some logs and command outputs:
