K900 | And I'm pretty sure it's Good | 08:38:47 |
K900 | Like, I have not seen any random clock jumps since | 08:39:16 |
Sandro 🐧 | Then go for it | 14:47:22 |
Sandro 🐧 | Chrony ftw | 14:47:25 |
nzbr (they/it) | Oh nice I had a quick look at it, and it seems you made systemd-timesyncd unhappy though | 14:48:34 |
Sandro 🐧 | Does chrony not disable/replace it? | 14:49:46 |
K900 | It does | 14:49:59 |
K900 | Well it should | 14:50:00 |
K900 | The idea is that you sync to the host clock instead of the NTP | 14:50:25 |
nzbr (they/it) | This is what I mean

K900 | Oops | 14:52:14 |
K900 | Forgot to remove the override for timesyncd | 14:52:34 |
K900 | Should be good now | 14:52:34 |
nzbr (they/it) | 👍️
I set it to merge when the pipeline passes | 14:54:01 |

Pierre Carrier | do we have any control over the compositor used in wslg? | 17:54:02 |
K900 | No | 18:00:05 |
evanjs | Are there any quick things to check if time syncing is wacky on my instance?
Chrony keeps whining that something else might be changing the time
And it's just enough that I can't use SSH to connect to other hosts from the WSL instance (AFAICT)
Just rebuilt using latest changes from the repo today
| 21:17:55 |
K900 | I don't think the time should affect SSH | 21:18:48 |
evanjs | Neither did I
Then I started seeing this in the journal on the device I was trying to connect to
<DATE> <HOSTNAME> sshd[<PID>]: drop connection #0 from [<REMOTE_IP>]:<REMOTE_PORT> on [<HOST_IP>]:22 penalty: exceeded LoginGraceTime
| 21:39:39 |
evanjs | That being said...
My skew is only ~13s on the WSL instance
And based on the sshd config's commented out defaults on the other device, that period should be 2m
So perhaps it is unrelated, after all 🤔
| 21:40:58 |
| 26 Oct 2025 |
evanjs | Might have figured it out....
I am not sure why
But the MTU on the NixOS WSL side was set to 1200... | 15:35:30 |

fabdb | I have trouble updating my system. Can somebody tell me, what is going on? Couldn't find an issue on github for that.
