Slow connecting to router/internet? No net = no NTP service.
You might be onto something. There's also a few seconds delay before the ethernet kicks in I've found. I wonder if there's a logjam in systemd that is cascading down to all the dependencies?
Hello,
What is your computer ?
Optiplex 7060
What is your Debian installed version ?
lsb_release is never nuanced enough but 12.4 or whatever the latest version of Bookworm is.
Desktops and notebooks usually have an internal "hardware" real time clock (RTC) that is powered by an internal battery. This is your computer's reference real-time clock. It ticks even if the computer is off (as long as it is powered by its battery).
This was my initial theory as well. The part that made me unsure was that my Googles only saw instances where the clock stayed wrong after boot and had to be manually adjusted. The fact that it keeps righting itself after a few seconds makes me second guess that theory but it could definitely be the culprit
The operating system (Debian) initialises the so-called "system clock" (software clock maintained by the kernel, see [1]) from the RTC at boot time.
You can check system logs about RTC with the following command:The operating system can then update the system time (within certain limits) from another networked computer using "network time servers".Code:
sudo journalctl -b --grep rtc
Appreciate the query, I will dig around tomorrow and report back!
