Fixed IP-address: A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized takes ages

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi,

I have an instance of HAOS with fixed ip-address. Address, subnet and gateway are correct configured.
Everything works fine, but when starting the machine, I can see following message on the console

A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized

This can take up to more than a minute.
After time-out boot process continues and HA works fine.

Is there a way to avoid this timeout?

kind regards,
B

Does your machine have access to the Internet so it can set its clock?

yes, of course. Incoming and outgoing traffic possible, no firewalls and/or ACL’s defined.

I have the (subjective) feeling that this has something to do with a combination of fixed IP’s/mutliple IP’s/addons…

What I tested already

  • created a new VM with HAOS in proxmox
  • assigned multiple fixed IP adresses

rebooted several times and no problem

Than:

  • restored a backup of my production VM to this new machine

rebooted several times → sometimes timeout.
Errors here:
[FAILED] Failed to start Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized:

and when I run:
systemctl status systemd-time-wait-sync.servcice

Main problem

  • It’s hard to reproduce: sometimes I get this timeout, sometimes not. I’m sure my home network infrastructure is good, requests to a ntp server from other devices never gave any problems
  • a out-of-the box instance with multiple fixed IP’s has no problems either

So I’m a bit stuck here :frowning:

Any help is appreciated,

kind regards,
Bart
