Testing with the PPA confirms the issue is fixes: It now looks like this: bare-metal/VMs: ar 31 10:17:51 f-chrony systemd[1]: Starting chrony, an NTP client/server...

The extra message of "cap[cap_sys_time] not permitted" isn't too bad. In fact if down the road this would change behavior again and throw other errors (like cap[cap_sys_time] not recognized by library or anything else) we'd immediately see it which is a good aspect. -- 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
