NTPD issues with latest DietPi image?

Audio Gear Talk DietPi

Anyone else had issues with the latest Raspberry Pi image of DietPi?
I was trying to check up on the issues reported in the thread concerning Audiophonics i-Sabre DAC and its non-latching power button.
I didn’t get that far… My Raspberry Pi 2B which is contained in the RaspDAC LTE chassi cannot initialize itself as it cannot get in touch with the NTPD (Time-server). I tried different time servers, none gives any response and i am stuck in a loop.
It does however perform all the necessary connection checks with dietpi.com etc. And i can continue the setup using manual override…

@Dan_Knight, any ideas?

I had the same problem on the weekend when I went to check for updates. I just gave up for the time being and was going to look at it again on the weekend.

Well, i just thought i’d update my Tinkerboard so i retrieved the latest DietPi image and etched it to a microSD. The NPTD issues are still here, no way of getting in touch with any NTP server for me. However the behaviour with the Tinkerboard is a bit different? Maybe @Dan_Knight did some changes? Here the Override option is directly available in the NTP dialogue. Seems to have a lot of errors during initialization also.
Issues with locales also, just like in the Raspberry image… Defaulting to british i think.
The install/upgrades seem to complete successfully though, and the Tinkerboard reboots after getting up to 6.6.
A lot of these it seems?:

  • exit_code = 100
  • VERSION:v6.6 | HW_MODEL:52 | HW_ARCH:2 | DISTRO:4

Hi,

We are aware of some users having issues with time sync, however, unsure of the cause at the moment.

Please see this ticket for discussion and tests:

Thanks for the reply Dan!
There seem to be some other issue with the certificate store on the nanoPi NEO series of images though?:

It seems the local cert store needs to be updated, as i can connect to https://deb.debian.org without issue in my browsers?

Hi Mikael,

Thanks for the report. I’ll check the image locally. Is this on a fresh install?

Please verify the following package is installed:

apt-get install debian-archive-keyring -y

Appreciate the swift reply Dan!

After the previous message about the non-trusted cert, your command gives this reply:

root@DietPi:~# apt-get install debian-archive-keyring -y

I tried

dietpi-update

And it worked just fine? Didn’t expect that… But after the required reboot after getting up to date:

(This is my NanoPi NEO2)
It seems i CAN get on with my install after all…

Edit:
It looks like the connection issues were related to the previous NPTD problems.They are evident here too, but after setting locale, time zone and setting date and time it works! :slight_smile:
