Time is not synchronized with an online clock, falling back to UEFI time

[ghost]

I'm not sure if this should be reported here or in Albius.

17:02 was the correct time for Europe/Warsaw, as seen on the system clock.

Tested in 117, 118, 119 and 120.

By the way, my timezone is incorrectly automatically detected as Europe/Kaliningrad.

I can now confirm that this only happens in the installer. "First setup" does not have this issue.

Warsaw has the correct time for me. Maybe your system clock is wrong, in which case every Timezone would be shifted by 1h.

I'm not sure what you mean. I think I would have noticed if the time on my PC was wrong.

@zehkira The operating system usually retrieves the system time online. But if this fails, it falls back to the system (UEFI) time. If your UEFI time is shifted by 1h, then this could be the reason for why this might happen. Though the problem is still that it shouldn't fail to retrieve the time over the internet.

If this is actually what's happening then every timezone would be shifted by 1h, not only Warsaw.

I checked that and it is in fact off by an hour.

I think I figured this out. The installers time zones use the time when you started the installer. At this time, the system might not yet have synchronized the clock. The installer should read in the time when the user changes to the timezone screen, not before.

Should be fixed in 09cc91089e1d18095fbd41ce39d12d8926f3fe16

Please reopen if the issue persists.

Nevermind, this still happens. But it's not related to what I thought. Instead, for some reason it just doesn't synchronize the time.

Ok, it looks like there just is no time sync service installed whatsoever
