I use chrony here and haven't ran into that problem, yet. Give me some |
| 32 |
time tho. ;-) |
| 33 |

As to the sound problem, I'd try logging out of the GUI, restarting |
| 35 |
elogind or rebooting, and then trying again. One thing I've noticed |
| 36 |
about elogind, if it or something it depends on triggers the need for a |
| 37 |
restart, it causes some weird problems. Once restarted, everything |
| 38 |
works as it should. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Which brings me to this. Anyone know if moving elogind from the boot |
| 41 |
runlevel to default would cause problems? I'm thinking about doing that |
| 42 |
since I forget to restart elogind manually after a KDE upgrade, or other |
| 43 |
upgrades that require restarting a lot of services. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Hope that helps. It seems elogind has a few quirks still, or maybe it |
| 46 |
is a feature we just don't want. ROFL |
