Description lekto 2022-10-10 19:06:58 UTC
I'm not sure if this is a real bug or a feature, but there is no ntp client in LiveGUI. I've tried ntp and openntpd, but they are not installed.
Comment 1 lekto 2022-10-10 19:11:56 UTC
According to Handbook (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Automatic) ntp should be installed:
>Official Gentoo live environments include the ntpd command (available through the
>net-misc/ntp package) and a configuration file pointing to ntp.org time servers.
>It can be used to automatically sync the system clock to UTC time using a time
>server. Using this method requires a working network configuration and may not
>be available on all architectures.

I think this was *intended* to be a feature, we install net-misc/chrony instead, which is preferred by many users.  I think we could add net-misc/ntp back as well, just so the handbook instructions still apply.

    specs/amd64/livegui: Add net-misc/ntp
    
    It's provided by the admincd and the minimal ISO. Might as well provide
    it here too.
