Is there any issue with running systemd-timesyncd and ntp on the same machine?
I'm asking this because I have started using NTP on all servers but the systemd-timesyncd is running there as well. Should I disable it? Any issues with both running?
I've installed NTP and internal NTP server peer is stratum 2. But every time I reboot the server, the VM time is synced with ESX instead of ntp.
I did run ntpdate -s x.x.x.x and corrected it. But after reboot its hours behind again.
Why doesn't NTP handle it? I've enabled ntp and it starts up during boot but the time is always the esx time. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.
Also timedatectl doesn't show NTP but systemd.timesyncd is displyed. systemd.timesyncd is disabled and stopped on the VM.
root@host001:~# timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2020-05-08 16:00:59 UTC
Universal time: Fri 2020-05-08 16:00:59 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2020-05-08 08:57:03
Time zone: UTC (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: no
systemd-timesyncd.service active: no
RTC in local TZ: no
So I have multipath setup and it seems like if I enable multipath partition in fstab, then everytime the reboots, it goes into emergency mode.
If I disable that in fstab, then server reboots fine.
I ran fsck.ocfs2 /dev/mapper/mpatha-part1 and it says it is clean.
cat /etc/fstab | grep mpath
/dev/mapper/mpatha-part1 /mnt/test ocfs2 defaults 0 0
On the console, It shows
Started LSB: Load O2CB cluster services at system boot..
Starting LSB: Mount OCFS2 volume at boot
Welcome to emergency mode: type journalctl -xb
In journalctl I saw it stated:
mount[1077]: mount.cfs2: Unable to access cluster service while trying initialize cluster
systemd[1]: mnt-origin.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to mount /mnt/test.
But after I login to Emergency mode, I see that /mnt/test has mounted successfully.
Any suggestions on what to look for next?
RESOLVED!! Ubuntu 16.04:
In software additional driver, For GT630 - Nvidia-340 is the driver available and for GT610 - Nvidia-304 is available. Installing one of them doesn't work out for both monitors. I wonder if I can install both and specify which driver to use for that specific device because:
SOLVED I'll reply with working copy of xorg.conf. I kinda messed up something else after it was resolved. Trying to fix this issue now. Have backed up working copy of Xorg.conf.
1) If I install Nvidia-340 it only works for first monitor, second monitor has no display. If Xinerma is enabled, secondary monitor has Ubuntu Logo in the center and mouse can be moved. But window can't be moved and no menu bar.
xorg.0.log:
nvidia-1 : No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
nvidia-1 : This device may have been added with another device file.
Nouveau is being used for GT610 by default.
If I blacklist-nouevea, reboot, then rather than Ubuntu Logo, it is just a black screen and I can move my mouse on that monitor (X cursor).
2) If I install Nvidia-304 and restart then low graphic memory error and I will have to press alt+shift+f1 and purge nvidia-304 to get display back.
I guess nvidia-304 would not work for GT630 and nvidia-340 won't work for GT610? And both can't have 2 different drivers????
Screen 1 - GT630
Screen 2 - GT610
Once I enable Xinerma, I can't access display properties (Xrandr extension not present). So I go to nvidia-settings and In X Server settings, both display are enabled and in X Screen 0 options both GPU listed). Should there be a X Screen 1, with GPU as GT610 right?
UPDATE: I can see X Screen 1 in nvidia-settings after I rebuilt Xorg.conf and now in lock window, if I mouse hover to secondary monitor, login prompt switches to secondary monitor. I can login too. But still there is a problem....
Ubuntu Logo is finally gone but no MENU bar and the default background is on top of everything?. I can move the window to next monitor but I can't see it. Its behind the default background.. If I can predict, I can drag the window back to screen 1. If I change wallpaper, it is only visible in Monitor 1 unless I restart lightdm, still a stuck background btw.
Please someone suggest me something,.. Kinda getting close to fix this. Just so you know this is the second time I'm installing Ubuntu in the last 3 months to try and fix it once and for all. I need to get it up during this weekend, if not - switch Nouveau drivers or Switch to Windows.
How I rebuilt xorg? : I opened nvidia-setting and deleted xorg.conf and saved.
If I enable Base-Mosiac then secondary monitor will get disabled and will not be visible in nvidia-setting. I manually tried to turn on Base-Mosiac in xorgs.conf but still nothing on secondary monitor.
Closest I can get to is with 340 drives and Ubuntu Logo centered on secondary monitor.
3) I'd like mention that nouveva drivers work for dual monitor except that for First monitor, mouse always flicker.. like 1000 times in a minute when playing video, without video a couple of 100 times in a minute (still very annoying). It doesn't flicker on secondary monitor.
