Description

The wiki page should explains:

  • What are the implications of this failure: maybe no network, or-talk has been asked for possible security implications.
  • First things to try to fix and retry all that: check your network connection.
  • How to study the problem more in details if needed: how to see the logs and understand them.

I think if the prompt has a clear enough message, we don’t need a documentation page.

For sure.

Altough just message that sync failed probably isn’t enough.

Average user: And what should I do now Reboot or just reconnect Why did that happen?

During April 2015 monthly meeting, we decided this ticket wasn’t worth working on until we sort out the time syncing feature and the new ideas that were raised recently about it.

I’m on a mac air and this may be helpful. I am booting from USB.
Time synchronisation fails if I choose EFI Boot on the mac. If I use the WINDOWS option it works fine every time.
