[qubes-users] time sync dysfunctional

Mailing Lists qubes-users

Hi,

I am still on Q4.1 (no time to do a full install now). Since a few days,
my time ran large out of sync, despite the swdate displaying normal
functioning. I rebooted, I restarted swdate. Its log says:

   \[INFO\] date output: 10:44:44

(which is London time, but otherwise correct), my set-to-Berlin-time
clock displays 10:42 which is 1h and 3min wrong. If it was 1h exactly,
I'd guess a user-malconfig, but 3min ??

do you have some hints on that?

Thank you, Bernhard

addendum: if I run "date" in a client VM it will give the right
timezone, but still has 3min of delay..

Hi Bernhard
My first thought was that this is a Whonix issue, but the fact that
`date` has the same 3 min offset speaks against that.
Let me get to a 4.1 box and I will see if I can help.
Do you have locales set differently in qube from in dom0?
What timezone is set in dom0?
What in the qube?
What in your Whonix gateway?

Dear unman & qubes -community,

things are even more funny (or not) since sys-whonix itself displays the correct time! The widget & other app-VM’s are off by 3-4 minutes constantly.

that is very confusing … best, Bernhard
