[Bug 1652695] Re: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources
Per former comment expected to be good and since we demoted NTP(d) setting to Won't Fix for NTP task. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652695 Title: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1652695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Paul, we've made some changes to the GCE images regarding NTP since you filed this. Could you double-check if the issues you describe still exist? ** Changed in: cloud-images Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652695 Title: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1652695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1652695] Re: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources
This seems to be somewhat related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/cpc- gce/+bug/1639089 (only affects Xenial). In summary the "pool" entries in ntp.conf should be commented out by gce-cloud-config but when ntp.conf transitioned from using "server" to "pool" gce-cloud-config was not updated. I will be fixing lp:1639089 in the GCE Xenial image build process initially followed by a fix for gce-cloud-config. Note that gce-cloud-config is being deprecated in favour of gce-compute- image-packages which does not have this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652695 Title: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1652695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> However, we may want to consider changing the default ntp configuration to use 'server' rather than 'pool' for ntp.ubuntu.com, to ensure that it is included in the configuration at least once. Why is this necessary? AIUI, ntp.ubuntu.com exists as a backup in case pool.ntp.org (an externally managed domain) fails to resolve or is otherwise down. Will this not work right now? If it does not, that's really a separate bug (that we should fix). ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652695 Title: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1652695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1652695] Re: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources
It appears that this is not a high priority issue, since the default NTP configuration will automatically exclude the leap-smearing source, given sufficient other good sources: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23720277/ However, we may want to consider changing the default ntp configuration to use 'server' rather than 'pool' for ntp.ubuntu.com, to ensure that it is included in the configuration at least once. ** Also affects: ntp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: cloud-images Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652695 Title: GCE default NTP configuration uses both leap-smeared and true UTC sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1652695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
