Description of problem: At the first boot after installation process, the first time wizard couldn't synchronize the time with NTP. So the wizard doesn't finished this step and I can't finished the first time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 16 prerelease (nightly build 2011-10-19) How reproducible: Tried 2 times. On both tries it doesn't work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 16 (nightly build 2011-10-19) 2. first boot -> the first bott wizard appears 3. Select time-synchronizing over internet (no UTC is selected) 4. The wizard tries, but it never ends. And I can't cancel this process and can't go to the next step. Actual results: Time synchronizing in the first boot wizard doesn't work. It never ends. Expected results: Time synchronizing should do successfully and the wizard let me go to the next step. Additional info:
I tried this on an installed F-16 machine, i.e. configured firstboot to be run again and rebooted, which worked for me. I'll try this in a new VM installed from TC2: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.TC2/
Configuring NTP in forstboot also worked with TC2 for me. Have you installed any non-standard packages on your system (e.g. ntp instead of chrony)? Additionally, please do the following: - Boot your system - When firstboot appears, advance to the "Date & Time" step - Switch to a virtual console (e.g. press Ctrl+Alt+F3) - Login as root - If the "strace" package isn't installed (check with "rpm -q strace"), install it: "yum install strace" - Find out the firstboot processes and their IDs: "pgrep -lf firstboot" - Attach strace to these processes and begin logging their system calls like this: "strace -Ff -o /tmp/firstboot-log.txt -p <pid>" -- supply "-p <pid>" for each process ID found in the previous step (the actual command could e.g. look like this: "strace -Ff -o /tmp/firstboot-log.txt -p 1234 -p 1238") - Switch back to firstboot (Ctrl+Alt+F1), then select "Synchronize date and time over the network", then click "Forward" - If it doesn't advance, let it run for a while (say a minute) - Switch back to the virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F3) - Interrupt the strace program (Ctrl+C) - Attach the log file /tmp/firstboot-log.txt to this bug report ("Add an attachment" above) Thanks.
Today I tried it again with my same nightly build cd from 2011-10-19. I followed your instructions. Thank you for your instructions. But Murphy is here, in this try all is functional. The time synchronized immediately and the next step is going on.

Whoa, dropped this, sorry. With the information available, this could have many causes, in and out of system-config-date. Unfortunately without being able to reproduce it, there's not much to work with. Therefore I'll close this bug, please reopen if it happens again.
