Hei all,
I have a problem with ntpd. At boot, i am running ntp-client and the time is updated, and then ntpd is running and the clock is correct for a while, but until a point where everything gets messed up. The /var/log/ntpd looks like this:

I am not sure, but I think it happens after xscreensaver is activated but again I am not sure. anyway, Can anyone help me with the time synchronization?
Thanks,
Nadi
EDIT:
After rebooting and starting again, I get the following message from /var/log/ntp.log:

13 Aug 13:36:18 ntpd[4200]: synchronisation lost

then my clock starts biasing seriously, and after about 20 minutes I have bias of -356 sec. and increasing. Something had damaged the operation of ntpd. I still have connection as I can see the results from ntpq -p

So What's the hell happened?
I am disabling xscreensaver, but I doubt it is the cause of the problem.
EDIT:
it is not the xscreensaver, I stopped the ntpd, run the command ntpdate time.alcanet.no and then started ntpd again. The clock gets unsynchronized very fast, and after a few seconds, it is already on -2 seconds. The laptop is less than one year old so I don't think it is the hardware clock which fails. I also believe that the clock under windowz is stable. Only not in gentoo. I checked the drift file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift, and changed it to 0.0. No help. |
