Fix Date and time

Thanks, that’s helpful.

It’s showing that ntpd is able to look up the IP address of some time servers but is not able to get a response from any of them. (Stuck in INIT state)

Could you now try the following. We need to install a program called ntpdate which you can do like this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ntpdate

Then make sure ntpd isn’t running:

sudo systemctl stop ntp

Then we’ll try manually setting the time with ntpdate in two different ways. First, try:

sudo ntpdate 0.debian.pool.ntp.org

It might take a few seconds so give it a chance. If that fails post the error message here then also try:

sudo ntpdate -u 0.debian.pool.ntp.org

The results of those two tests should give us a better idea of what’s happening.
