I have the same problem. I have set the time manually using the following command in sys-whonix and my anon-whonix AppVM: user@host:~$ sudo date +%T -s "22:18:00" which sets the time to my current local time (germany). Strangely I still get an error message when running whonixcheck. Why is there a message "NTP synchronized: no" ? Shouldn't the time always be synchronized as we're running virtual machines? user@host:~$ whonixcheck [INFO] [whonixcheck] sys-whonix | Whonix-Gateway | whonix-gw Template-Based ProxyVM | Tue May 15 22:29:23 UTC 2018 dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted [INFO] [whonixcheck] Connected to Tor.
