[arm-allstar] timedatectl coredump / ntp

[Doug Crompton]

Lee,

 Time sync is part of the OS in Arch and installed as a service and is running by default. To list running services type:

systemctl list-units -t service

The time service is:   systemd-timesyncd.service 

No other ntp service should be running.

The timedatectl  command is used to see the time and date parameters. This shows the internal timesyncd service and displays it with the label ntp.

The timedatectl issue is an old one and I had thought it was fixed long ago but maybe it cropped up again. It is an OS problem. I am not seeing it here on 1.02 beta on a pi3. We will look into it. I think it might only be when the zone is changed or changed to certain zones.

Greetings,
Just sparked up a new Pi2 Allstar node for testing, using the 1.02-beta image, and have a couple observations so far.
First, thanks for all the hard work in putting this image together, I know the time it takes to do so, and sincerely appreciate the effort.
Now a couple things I noticed...
Straight stock image, first time run, tried timedatectl to see what it had to say... and it core dumps.
I also note that ntpd doesn't seem to be installed as part of the image (ntpdate is there though). Any reason why that package isn't installed by default? Any easy way to go about getting it installed? I don't believe there is a package manager installed, is there?
That's all I've got so far.
Good work on the config/setup scripts, they seem to work nice.

Cheers!
