ntp in debain-VMs

[haaber]

Dear qubes-community, my debian-based VM's all have almost random
date/time settings. I tried to tackle this by setting up ntp correctly
in the template VM, but this does simply have no effect to the derived
appVMs. Culd someone help me with that? Thank you, Bernhard

I'm getting consistent time in my Debian 9 VMs. Do you have your
'ClockVM' setting populated in your Qubes Manager Global Settings? Its
normally set to sys-net.

Aha. Indeed, my sys-net died in Jan and I created a new one, called
sys-NET. So clockVM got setting lost at this moment. My sys-NET is based
on f24-minimal. Do I have to add extra packages in that VM to make ntp
work? I guess so ... thank you for further help Bernhard
