[qubes-users] Problems with Timesynchronization

Hello community,

I do have issues with the timesychronization of VMs in my Qubes OS 4.1.1 system.

I was reading the information provided in [1] - and - verified that ‘sys-net’ is my clock VM.

However I was not able to resolve my issues …

Here are the logs:

[vr@dom0 ~]$ qubes-prefs clockvm
sys-net

Do you have any advice on how to continue from here - or - what else to check?

With kind regards,

Hello Community,

No advice / feedback at all ?

Did you check any system errors during the update?

Can you please comment on how it is possible, that
"ConditionPathExists=/var/run/qubes-service/clocksync was not met" - and -
ideally, how to resolve that issue.

That suggests that you do not have the clocksync service enabled.
Set it with `qvm-service --enable QUBE clocksync` or `qvm-features QUBE service.clocksync 1`
