You say "addresses on a local DNS server will resolve." What about the vast majority of people who do not have a local DNS server and rely on internet DNS? -- ntp brought up before network is ready; fails not resolve any ip or host names; ntp does not recover https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114

cwsupport, this should be a great help to getting this fixed (has been known a LONG time--should have been fixed in Gutsy and Hardy). However, there is one part of your logic I do not understand: >After all - ntpdate should only be used automatically if ntp as a service has been started. I think

I did some web research. The command is "hwclock --systohc" This should be part of the fix (or at least made an option somehow) to run after ntpdate, for the reason previously cited. -- ntp brought up before network is ready; fails not resolve any ip or host names; ntp does not recover https:

>J Carrera, I do not know what you mean by "'write to hardware switch' to ntpdate". Sorry, I am on long travel and don't have my linux machine. As I recall it is something involving "--hwclock" or something like that. It may even be a separate command rather than an ntpdate switch. Maybe "date

It is illuminating to look at syslog in an editor/viewer just after a boot and search for 'ntp.' That will show you the ntpd and ntpdate calls--easily showing if multiple attempts are happening. You can also see if ntpd is making associations, look to see if interfaces are up, if dhcp addresses h

Moderators may delete this post if you wish.. I just have to say it is truly incredible this issue is not fixed in Hardy. It has been known for a long time and the fundamental cause is known--the necessary sequence of getting the internet connection to be fully functioning (eth0, dhcp, etc) befor

A note to all: updates released sometime shortly before 1-27-08, when I installed them in Gutsy, REVERTED the change of S24dhcdbd to S13dhcdbd start priority in rc5.d back to S24 !! (I used "sysv-rc-conf -p ' tool to make the previous changes by the way) This reversion caused the previous

As others, I confirm for Gutsy 7.10... I do not see a consensus in the preceding comments regarding a "for- certain" solution. It is absolutely a situation that needs to be resolved, and, boy, would I like to see a documented change here that does. heindsight, in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthre
