Steps to reproduce
sudo dietpi-update
Expected behaviour
dietpi-update would roll to completion from v9.20.1 to v10.0.1
Actual behaviour
it returns the error:
Command: systemctl start systemd-timesyncd
- Exit code: 5
- DietPi version: v9.20.1 (MichaIng/master) | HW_MODEL: 4 | HW_ARCH: 3 | DISTRO: 7
- Error log:
Failed to start systemd-timesyncd.service: Unit systemd-timesyncd.service not found.
Extra details
understandable, this rpi is my local net timeserver, and i have chronyd running with a gps[u-blox 8], and have disabled & stopped systemd-timesyncd.service.
my question:
if i use the entry field from the dietpi-update" dialog: “Please enter/alter the command to be executed.” and enter
‘systemctl restart chronyd.service’ will that suffice or mess with reset of the script? thought i would ask first before i try it.
or if that won’t do it, can you point me to an edit(s) i can make to make the update continue?
