Dear Maintainer,
I have configured timesyncd to use sntp.cam.ac.uk as an NTP server (see
configuration below). That name resolves to 2001:630:212:8::123:20.
It resolves to 131.111.8.28 here.
Do you get no IPv4 address for sntp.cam.ac.uk?
The name resolves to both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. On my system,
timesyncd prefers the IPv6 address, so I think the presence or otherwise
of the IPv4 address is irrelevant to the display bug.
Indeed, the same problem occurs if I explicitly specify the IPv6 address:
wraith:~# grep ^NTP= /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
NTP=2001:630:212:8::123:20
wraith:~# timedatectl timesync-status | head -1
Server: ::2001:630:212:8:0:0 (2001:630:212:8::123:20)
