Wrong time after going offline

[fch]

Every time I go offline or turn off the machine, I get wrong timee on gnome bar, changing my location time fix it, but it’s annoying to do it every time.
I have a starlabs mkiii laptop with coreboot, running manjaro with gnome.

Check BIOS settings for the correct time, so it will not reset. Also you can enable ntpd.srvice

maybe that’s my problem my current firmware the starlabs version 6 has a very basic BIOS and no option about time there, how do I activate the ntpd.srvice?

[bogdancovaciu]

systemctl enable ntpd.srvice --now

so you will see the effect of it right away.

got this output:
Failed to enable unit: Unit file ntpd.srvice.service does not exist.

Well, try this then

Wrong time in Manjaro XFCE, 2 hours forward, had to work with ntpd

make sure timedatectl status shows the correct timezone. Also your RTC should be configured to use UTC. I would not recommend to use ntpd. Stop it, disable it, remove it. You can use systemd-timesyncd. You need to start and enable the service systemctl enable --now systemd-timesyncd.service and timedatectl set-ntp true But it is very important that the timedatectl settings are correct (timezone, RTC status).

I got no error with those commands, I let you know if it worked well on next reboots, thanks!

Usually, systemd’s timesyncd is already enabled and running. There is no need to use ntpd in parallel.
