OK. I found the upstream bug on this. Please note that -- per upstream -- this is still open. The issue stems from a *non-working* DNS at the time NTP is triggered (most probably on boot).
This is why, when you are up & running, you do not see this error. Please see the upstream bug for details. So. Right now you have the following options: * move to IP addresses instead of FQSN * have a working DNS at the time NTP is triggered ** Bug watch added: psp2.ntp.org/bugs/ #975 https://psp2.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=975 ** Also affects: ntp via https://psp2.ntp.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=975 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- ntp host name not found error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548885 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
