Time Synchronisation Monitor keeps failing...

manjaro · January 25, 2020, 9:11am

sdwdate begin not working. No matter how much i wait, it can’t get time synchronization. On gateway all good, just on workstation problems. I think that may happen maybe because i installed additional software which mess some settings.

How i can post the log here if links are not allowed ?

Maybe a general connection issue. Not sdwdate issue.

Try:

whonixcheck --leak-tests

Also try to connect to onions manually.

Something intended to post that was lost?

Not sure this is solveable. You would need to describe what how you ended up producing this issue.

For example if you mixed Debian package sources with Ubuntu package sources this might have uninstalled / mixed incompatible dependency packages. Debugging / fixing that is too time intensive. In that case better consider backup of any data if required and re-installation of broken Whonix VM.
