Description Jeremy Linton 2023-03-31 17:37:17 UTC

Description of problem: The F38 Workstation-Live install CD fails to start any NTP based services. The only service I see installed that can provide this, is systemd-timesyncd, but that service is disabled by default on the live media. This means that machines with incorrect system clocks will continue to have incorrect timestamps.

The result is that the machine cannot use online repositories because the certificate chains cannot be verified due to the certs not yet being valid (or have expired).

Things like firefox/etc probably fail as well after thinking about it for a moment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F38/Systemd 238.


How reproducible: 100% on my test machine.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the time incorrectly
2. Boot workstation live image.
3. Attempt to `dnf install` something.

Actual results:
Error message that reads ~ "Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'fedora': 
  Curl error (60): SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK for https://XXXX
  [SSL certificate problem: certificate not yet valid]"


Expected results: Time is correct on the machine once the network is up. Allowing dnf/etc to work properly.

Additional info:

I'm not sure if this is considered a live media installer issue, anaconda, or just systemd. Update component as needed.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '38'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 38 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-05-21.

Fedora Linux 38 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
