Possible issues:
- sdwdate will need a few more moments for fetching the time.
- sdwdate time sources might be dysfunctional.
Recommendations:
A) Rerun systemcheck:
Start Menu → System → systemcheck
or in Terminal: systemcheck
or more verbose in Terminal: systemcheck --verbose --gui --cli
B) Restart sdwdate.
Start Menu → System → sdwdate-gui → right click on sdwdate-gui systray → Restart sdwdate
or in Terminal: sudo service sdwdate restart
C) Manually set the time.
As last resort…
- Open a terminal. (Start Menu → System → Terminal)
- Use the manual clock setting tool.
sudo --set-home clock-random-manual-gui - Simulate sdwdate success.
sudo -u sdwdate touch /run/sdwdate/first_success - Rerun systemcheck.
once this is done it works but then after reboot i have to repeatr this. anyway to fix this?
