sdwdate sclockadj - bug report - SDWDATE_SUBSHELL_SCLOCKADJ_EXIT_CODE: 127

Move to appropriate section if necessary. This notice came up in an alert window. I was not doing anything unusual before:

ERROR: ############################################ ## Error detected! Please

What Whonix version are you using?

Which Whonix repository are you using if any?

Any additional config such as AppArmor profiles?

Apologies, I’ve lost the password to the account I created to report the bug, thinking it’d be one-time-use.

To answer your questions, I’m using Whonix 9, stable repository, and no additional AppArmor profiles or nonstandard configurations. Hope this can be of some help.

Exit code 127 means that the binary could not be found. Same would happen if you run.

non-existent ; echo $?
-bash: non-existent: command not found
127

/usr/lib/sclockadj exists on your system?

Strange, because if it was a common issue, we’d heard from it multiple times now. Could be file system corruption.

Does the error persist after reboot?

/var/log/sdwdate.log could help.
