I don't think -u would be necessary if /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate were using the correct lock file (/var/lock/ntpdate vs /run/lock/ntpdate, as I pointed out in comment #27).
But I do agree that either adding -u or fixing the lock file path would be a simple solution to this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577596 Title: ntpd not started when using ntpdate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1577596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
