Thanks for the info, I figured it was something like this going on. I may try refining things to a different server if necessary. My Ubuntu-Mate desktop time always seems synced, but sudo systemctl status systemd-timesyncd gives: systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization

Well, I loaded Debian 8.2 on one of my BBB's, and then did a cold start and you can see the following in syslog. timesyncd starts off at a 32 second sntp resync with the server, then moves up in powers of two to a maximum sync time of about 34 minutes. You can see it is making only single digit

Thanks, glad to see I'm not the only one with the issue. Did some more searching and it seems it only logs the sync that happens at daemon start up, but is supposed to resync at some compiled in interval. Check the most recent sync time with the times from stat /var/lib/systemd/clock On my

I have been chasing something similar. On Debian 8.8 and prior Jessie versions, systemd-timesyncd worked very well and issued a lot of (level debug) messages that told you what was going on, and the level of correction being applied. When it is running the time would stay synced within 20
