5. Clock Synchronization

In this step you will check the system clock and optionally modify the time zone.

Check Clock Settings

During the OS installation the time zone and NTP were configured. It is recommended you verify the time zone is correct and NTP is enabled.

timedatectl status

Check that "NTP service" is "active".

Activate NTP

If "NTP service" is not active, activate it with the following.

sudo timedatectl set-ntp on

Before proceeding, ensure ...

• you are satisfied with Time zone.
• System clock synchronized displays yes.
• NTP service displays active.
