[EN] /var/lib/systemd/clock empty

This file contains the timestamp of last successful synchronization.

With me, systemd-timesyncd.service is running. Why is still /var/lib/systemd/clock empty?

What about the upstream bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86292
Is there shown a workaround for you ?

Hmmmm.  Just out of curiosity, I checked two of my siduction systems.  They both have ntp installed.  On both of them, I see a result like this:

My systems are clearly syncronized with an ntp server somewhere -- they show exactly the same time as a cellphone does.  I don't regard this phenomenon as a problem, but it is a curiosity.  My google-foo doesn't reveal anything about the failure message.


BTW, seeing not a word of deutsch, this thread is moving to the EN side.
