datetime problems at boot

Postby hit » Tue Aug 13, 2019 8:51 am

I have a raspberry pi I use for an irrigation system. The problem is that, every time it reboots, the system time is wrong, and I cannot set it to sync it automatically.

I have discover that when the system time is wrong, dns requests doesn't work, so every time I try to send a request I just get:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarmpi me]# ntpdate 3.es.pool.ntp.org
Error resolving 3.es.pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (-2)
12 Aug 15:37:15 ntpdate[2385]: Can't find host 3.es.pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (-2)
12 Aug 15:37:15 ntpdate[2385]: no servers can be used, exiting
')

By the way I get the same connection errors if I try to use pacman, wget, python/requests, even ping... So it is a dns thing for sure.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[me@alarmpi ~]$ ping https://google.com
ping: https://google.com: Name or service not known
')

If I set the time and date manually, it works again, but I live 300km from where this thing is, and I can't do it manually every day there is a power cut.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarmpi me]# timedatectl
Local time: Mon 2019-08-12 15:47:40 CEST
Universal time: Mon 2019-08-12 13:47:40 UTC

[root@alarmpi me]# timedatectl set-ntp false

13 Aug 10:49:54 ntpdate[2498]: adjust time server 37.139.121.60 offset 0.004894 sec


')

So I'm a little lost here. How can I sync the clock automatically if it doesn't let me connect to the service because I'm out of sync?

i had the same problem a couple months ago. it was caused by DNSSEC. this solved it for me: $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'echo 'DNSSEC=false' >> /etc/systemd/resolved.conf')
