LXC Usage Graphs in GUI Blank with Wrong Date/Time

[wespiard]

I swapped to a new motherboard and initially upon boot the usage graphs of the host were empty, showing 1969-12-31 (screenshot below). I followed some instructions in this post, which fixed the issue for the pve host.

However, I'm running into the same issue for all containers and VMs. I tried deleting the file for an individual lxc, e.g., rm -rf /var/lib/rrdcached/db/pve2-vm/102, and then systemctl restart rrdcached.service, to no avail. The date/time in the LXCs themselves seem accurate.

Is there a more sure-fire way to reset this usage history?

That's cool - as unix time starts at 01. Januar 1970

I really did not know that a specific timezone (don't know where you are, probably -5 hours) could drop you below zero

Obviously your clock is wrong. Try something like timedatectl set-time "2024-10-05 21:19:00" and then search for chrony to setup ntp.
