Time not in sync?

Post by Edwin »

I cant get the time in sync at my raspberry i entered the lines server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org etc.
but the time doesnt sync with the real time.

Ntpq -p gives this output:

I get this output:

oll reach delay offset jitter ==============================================================================

Any ideas?

If you run NTPD you need at least 3 working time servers.

Code: Select all

root@ntp01:/# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

The rest of the config is default config out of the ntp package


You might first need to stop ntp(d)

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/ntpd stop 
or
/etc/init.d/ntp stop   (depend on the actual package name i think)
I can then use ntpdate without issues

Code: Select all

ntpdate ntp01.solcon.nl
19 Oct 12:39:53 ntpdate[11345]: adjust time server 2001:9e0:4:32::250 offset 0.067353 sec
or to rule out dns issues

Code: Select all

ntpdate 212.45.32.250
If this is working you can try to purge and reinstall the package to get ntpd working

Code: Select all

apt-get purge ntp
apt-get install ntp
