clocksync service is not enabled on any vm's in rc4

[Elias Mårtenson]

After installing rc4, I noticed that sys-net did not have the clocksync service enabled. In fact, clocksync was not enabled on any of the vm's.

I noticed this after my computer's clock was off by one minute.

Other than enabling this service on sys-net, is there anything else I need to do to get time synchronisation working?

That's weird, it should be enabled in sys-net by default. Did you had
any problems during installation, requiring manual sys-net setup?

There was a bug causing systemd-timesyncd service starting too soon and
it failed to notice 'clocksync' service file (fix in current-testing
repo). But according to qvm-service tool the service should be enabled
in any case.

The installation worked fine as far as I can tell.

The only unusual thing was after initial boot, when it initialises the system for the first time (the part where you answer which vm's you want created, etc). After I had done this, you're supposed to click "finish" (or something to that effect) but I accidentally clicked on the same button again. This caused the installer to run again.

I don't think that would cause any issues, but that's the only thing I did that was out of the ordinary.

After adding the clocksync service to sys-net, activating it, and rebooting, the time is now properly synchronised.

I can confirm that I had the same problem. I did the same mistake during install on one of my systems, not sure it was on the one at fault, but quite probably. Another system I installed later is fine (I probably did not do the install mistake).
