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.
