General Discussion

Hi, I’m trying to do the dietpi-update but fails due Timey Sync Error:

root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

I have rebooted and still same issue. Any help?

Thanks.

Try setting correct system time

/boot/dietpi/func/run_ntpd 1
3

Keep returning the same:

root@DietPi:~# /boot/dietpi/func/run_ntpd 1
[  OK  ] DietPi-TimeSync | systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd
[ INFO ] DietPi-TimeSync | Waiting for time sync (1/60)
[ INFO ] DietPi-TimeSync | Waiting for time sync (2/60)
[ INFO ] DietPi-TimeSync | Waiting for time sync (3/60)
[ INFO ] DietPi-TimeSync | Waiting for time sync (4/60)
[ INFO ] DietPi-TimeSync | Waiting for time sync (5/60)

can you check the service log

journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd

Maybe you configured a ntp time server that is not reachable on your side

Got this:

can you check the configuration you have done

dietpi-config > 8 : Network Options: Misc > NTP Mirror

and

dietpi-config > 4 : Advanced Options > Time sync mode
