Looking into this, it seems the problem is that /usr/lib/systemd/scripts /chronyd-starter.sh expects to be able to check for the cap_sys_time capability by grepping the output of "capsh --print" for "^Current.*cap_sys_time". However, in Focal the output of "capsh --print" for a root process is just "Current: =ep". I suspect this is a linux kernel tools change, as on an eoan system with linux 5.3.0, "sudo capsh --print" has all the capabilities listed in Current:, which is what the starter script expects.
andol's dropin makes capsh output "Current: =ep cap_sys_time+i" which the grep matches so all is fine. Not sure that's the right fix, though. (It would help if I knew what "Current: =ep" is supposed to mean. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867036 Title: Focal Fossa : chronyd unable to sync system clock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony/+bug/1867036/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
