Toon's clock is 2 minutes behind

Suddenly Toon's clock is 2 minutes behind, restart Toon and restart router doesn't solve this problem. Does anyone have a different solution?

Two checks:
Is your toon connected to the internet?
If not, connect it.
Is Toons chronyd up and running, and connecting to a time server?
If not start it, and check whether the chronyd is connected to a time server (the rooting manual gives an example), lately I 've been using 0.nl.pool.ntp.org successfully.

Have you updated /etc/chrony.conf as described here:
viewtopic.php?f=87&t=11449&p=85791&hili ... onf#p85791 ?
And reboot probably

Thanx, changing the time server in chrony.conf solved the problem. Remarkably, the config was in accordance with the root manual.

The
www.nist.gov mentioned in the rooting guide seems not to provide any time anymore
Code: Select all
# ntpq -p www.nist.gov
dualstack.mc-12555-1019789594.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
So just use the nl.pool.ntp.org servers. That what they are for. @MarcelC can you change the manual?

Used the exact contents of the chrony.conf mentioned in above link, but still get errors / warnings if I look in /var/log/messages (see below). Any clues?

You can ignore that if your time is now in sync.

Just noticed that the chrony implementation on the toon is somewhat buggy. If it connects to a new time server which is has never connected to, it will not sync to it (giving that error dump file message). With pool.ntp.org the server will change between a lot of pool servers. Just restart chrony a few times and it will create the necessary files for it to sync properly.
Check with "chronyc sources -v"

A few chrony restarts indeed removed the errors. Thanks!

Can you post the content of the chrony file ?
