For MAAS users. A quick workaround that you can use for this, is to setting NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF to NO via the generic preseed file.
Edit /etc/maas/preseeds/generic, add a late_command into the file d-i preseed/late_command string true && \ in-target sed -i 's/NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=yes/NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no/' /etc/default/ntpdate This change will force the usage of /var/lib/ntpdate/default.dhcp , which is being written correctly by MAAS. The proper solution for this fix would be to fix the ntpdate package to fall back to /etc/default/ntpdate.dhcp if it doesn't find any ntp.conf configuration by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427775 Title: ntpdate.dhcp always ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/427775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
