Time Sync Failed and one other problem

[qubes-user-000]

I have two problems right now in Qubes.
When I do qubes-dom0-update, the first thing it says is 'Time Sync Failed! - Exiting'.
When I do qvm-sync-clock, it says the same thing.
I did timedatectl set-ntp 1 to see if that would fix it, same error.

The other problem also comes up when I run qubes-dom0-update.
Qubes is still downloading updated for Fedora 23 when I've had Fedora 24 for months.
I don't have the Fedora 23 template anywhere on the machine (that I know of).
To clarify what I mean, it is NOT installing updates for Fedora 24 (which I am using), it is looking for updates for Fedora 23.

I've had many problems since installing the Fedora 24 template but I just noticed this one.

I have had timesync fail when port 123 (fedora also use another one I forget) being blocked in router or somewhere.

How do you know it is looking for Fedora 23 update? How are you updating, what messages are you seeing?

[cooloutac]

actually that other port that fedora opens is probably a bug like their bugged dhclient. only allow 123 in your router.

If you have replaced your netVM (the default ClockVM) or edited the
ClockVM in Global Settings and later deleted the VM, its possible to get
such errors. Check your ClockVM in Global Settings.

Since dom0 is a separate OS from the templates, it doesn't get upgraded
when you upgrade templates. Fedora 23 is the latest version currently
available for dom0. Likewise, qubes-dom0-update normally performs
updates for dom0, not templates.
