Description April 2015-05-30 19:22:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Only 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org is listed for the NTP servers ... if user leaves this alone and continues the install, then opens system-config-date after installing and rebooting, no NTP servers are listed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 22 Mate Spin

How reproducible:
100%

Comment 1 April 2015-05-31 11:41:46 UTC
Also, after manually setting the system time, it appears that the next time the NTP client tries to update it is resetting my time to midnight tomorrow....

Comment 2 David Shea 2015-06-02 13:39:44 UTC
Please attach the log files from the installation, available in /var/log/anaconda in the installed system.

I have attached the requested logs. The following additional files exist but are empty:
ks-script-kPtnB3.log
ks-script-lD4EgA.log

Comment 10 David Shea 2015-06-17 21:17:02 UTC
It looks like everything is working as expected, mostly.

Chrony, the NTP server, added a configuration directive for pools. So /etc/chrony.conf in the live environment just contains this:

pool 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst

instead of three or four separate lines for servers. This config is copied over to the installed system, so the problem is just that system-config-date doesn't know what to do with pool directives.

As for the time jumping to midnight tomorrow, is the time zone set correctly? If so, that might be a separate bug against chrony.

Comment 11 April 2015-06-19 02:29:20 UTC
Prior versions of fedora listed the following servers:
0.fedora.pool.ntp.org
1.fedora.pool.ntp.org
2.fedora.pool.ntp.org
3.fedora.pool.ntp.org

So it seems 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org works as both a "server" and as a "pool".

I think it's rather confusing to list a seemingly arbitrary numbered pool this way? It looks like it belongs in a list, but it doesn't. Is there any better subdomain naming that could be used for this?

As for the midnight issue, I am not able to reproduce at this time, so perhaps the issue was fixed, or perhaps I got something mixed up.

That's a question for the chronyd maintainers. Anaconda is just the messenger in this.

Comment 13 Miroslav Lichvar 2015-06-19 13:51:38 UTC
The 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org name is used because it's currently the only name returning IPv6 addresses. This will likely change in the future.

This is a duplicate of bug #1183624. There is a patch which adds some support for the pool directive, but it wasn't applied/reviewed yet.
