I eventually added everything available and went through them all looking for something to set date and time with. No luck so far.

That I don't understand (?).

I have loaned my RPi to my wheelchair bound friend until he can aquire a new system so I'm rather limited to what I can guide you with at this time.

Perhaps Chris_Y and others can offer assistance for a bit.

If you do have a prefs selection called 'services' you can check that to see if NTP is active.

Yes (but only for two minutes which may possibly not be quite long enough to have actually performed a time sync)

I notice you're using the Debian servers and it is complaining about looking up the hostnames, which might be the problem (also the servers it is trying to use are all showing as stratum 16 which seems a very long way down the chain... I don't think I've ever seen a server below stratum 3 or 4 and it's rare to see anything below stratum 2). Edit /etc/ntp.conf as root (sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf) and look for the lines starting "server". Try changing them to these:

Quote:
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst


If using nano, Ctrl-X will allow you to save.
Restart the service (sudo systemctl restart ntp)
Wait five minutes and try the query again (ntpq -p)

Sure enough, using the uk pools brought rather different results:

etc.

But it's still November 26.

On the Amiga, it was easy to set up a local time server. I wish I could boot my Amiga and see what one I set...

@kilaueabart

btw, I recommend to set the NTP pools to something local to yourself once it starts working. You can find the pool addresses at all sorts of geographical levels here: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

The problem may be that your clock is too far out. I've not seen it happen, but the NTP software apparently doesn't sync if that is the case. Try setting the clock manually once (time/date) and then restart the service (sudo systemctl restart ntp). See if ntpq -p shows anything after a couple of minutes.

The other issue might be that your router is blocking UDP packets and/or port 123.

Yes, Chris, thanks. I had just googled the problem on my tablet and found the solution to the time, which solved the Google "connection-not-safe" problem as well, so I can now google problems straight from the rpi.

Chrome works fine now, although attempt to look at e-mail got me a wrong password refusal!?

***Well, it turns out I wrote that too soon. Chrome does work fine now, but I didn't really solve the time problem. When I boot, I get the date of my last shut-down. sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start didn't do any good. I had to reset the date by hand, but at least I CAN now, and I can live with that.

On a different note....

Anyone here have experience with installing Amibian onto a Pi-Top? I've got the archive of the SD-card image, but haven't gotten round to writing it to a micro-SD card to go into my RasPi3. One of the neat features of the Pi-Top is that it has a power button you can press that, when held down for 3 or 4 seconds, sends a signal to the pi3 that amounts to "Okay, time to do the shutdown procedure now," at the end of which, the device powers off. I don't know if any other RasPi OSs support that feature natively or if that needs a specially installed utility before it will act on that.

Just want to say that I am getting very impressed with this little computer. I haven't been able to get it to figure out the time on its own yet, and I am inclined to forget to correct and restart the time for up to several hours, but I can report that it does at least one thing much better than the Linux side of my AmigaONE X1000 ever could: Print!

I have had Ubuntu in various stages from 12.10 or whatever to 16.04, on different disks, and never could I print anything but a printer test, using hplip(?) for my HP printers (currently an Officejet Pro 8710). Anything else, including black and white memos, came out with colors smeared all over. (The OS4 side could handle color, but it required a lot of monkeying around to get print size right.)

I set printing up on the rpi3 yesterday, and it prints perfectly!

Now if I can only get the time fixed, and get it to produce sound on my bluetooth speaker. And maybe connect with an external drive, besides a little flash drive...

Use it as a print server for the Amiga (and any other devices you have - you can put Google Cloud Print on it for example). That's what I do! You can print from the Amiga using the Postscript driver then...

Yeah, the Pi is set up to reset the internal clock to whatever it was when it was last shut down (fakehwclock).

I really don't know why this isn't working, I can only assume the packets are getting blocked on your network. I can see two workarounds, one is a complicated one using GPS dongles, the other is a slightly less complicated one involving buying/making a hardware clock for your Pi.
But, really, NTP ought to work.

I got my Pi back.

Just for grins :) I manually set the time wrong and changed the ntp.conf servers to;

# pool.ntp.org maps to about 1000 low-stratum NTP servers. Your server will
# pick a different set every time it starts up. Please consider joining the
# pool:
#server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst

server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

After rebooting the Pi it took about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes to sync up.

Seems to me there should be a local server you could connect to. Maybe check with the university(?).


Open your File Browser and go to /usr/share/applications and see if there is a Time and Date icon. If so double click and it should open the settings window. If not,,,, something is not installed.

Good news if I ever have an Amiga again. Looking a bit doubtful at the moment, but I still hope. Meanwhile, this rpi3 keeps me pretty well connected with the world.

Obviously something is not installed. The icons are in alphabetical order, and go from "Terminal emulator" to "Vim." But thanks for alerting me to this window. I'll enjoy exploring it.

Hm.
Open the Add/Remove software app (synaptic) and install gmome-system-tools. Or in a terminal,
sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools you may need to use the full name, gnome-system-tools-3.0.0-4,
but I don't think so.

That should contain Time and Date setting app and some handy utilities.

Yes, that worked, although the app doesn't seem very friendly, just listing my time zone (Pacific/Honolulu) and Configuration with no other options than "Keep synchronized with internet servers." I have no idea what would happen if I clicked "Unlock."

Today resetting the time was instantaneous. I did the date command and was doing the restart command when I noticed that my clock was correct! Maybe it hadn't even waited? I will wait a bit longer next time. But if it does come up right, I won't know that it wasn't because I had run Time and Date.

If you unlock it you can change TZ and set either NTP or Manual time, but since it is correct no need to mess around.

@NomadOfNorad

I tried Amibian on my RPi3. It booted but I only had one of those ROMs off the net and it did not work very well. Besides I don't have any older software to use and can't find my last Amiga Forever.

I know I just followed the instructions on their website to get it going, but quickly lost interest.

I've actually got the 2006 Premium Edition of Amiga Forever right here next to me. I assume I can use one or the other of the ROMs off of that, but haven't really looked into it yet.
