systemd-timesyncd dead after upgrade from 4.4 to 5.1

[pieteras.meyer]

Hi Guys

I have recently upgraded my cluster of 3 servers from 4.4 to latest 5.1

I have now noticed that the systemd-timesyncd service is not starting. shows as dead in the gui

service systemd-timesyncd status shows the below

Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Tue 2018-03-20 23:13:39 SAST; 59min ago
└─ ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/ntpd was not met
Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8)

Any Ideas on how to fix this?

maybe you have another ntp service running?

The unit file detects the presence of "/usr/sbin/ntpd" if this is found, the service will never enable/start

Use the following commands
apt purge ntp
systemctl daemon-reload

I have updated the post-install.sh script located here https://github.com/extremeshok/xshok-proxmox

On one server here i had the same problem. Normally it does not matter with ntp.
