Tiny Core Base > TCB Bugs

getTime.sh not working at startup

(1/5) > >>

Stefann:
Hi,
I hope I do this right but anyway...

When I startup tiny core the time is not synced.
running getTime.sh as user also does not sync it
running with sudo does

What I did:

--- Code: ---Give clock a 3minute error, than REBOOT....
tc@hp510:~$ sudo reboot

==================

after reboot:
tc@hp510:~$ date
Fri May  2 13:20:09 CEST 2025.    //this is wrong
tc@hp510:~$ getTime.sh
tc@hp510:~$ date
Fri May  2 13:20:21 CEST 2025.    //still wrong
tc@hp510:~$ sudo getTime.sh
tc@hp510:~$ date
Fri May  2 11:18:06 CEST 2025.   //OK now
tc@hp510:~$
--- End code ---

For reference, my extlinux.conf:

--- Code: ---DEFAULT gui16

LABEL gui16
KERNEL /tce/boot/vmlinuz16
INITRD /tce/boot/core16.gz
APPEND quiet  host=hp510 tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 waitusb=5:UUID="ab0b387d-7533-4e69-a8ac-ee5ab733c5f7" tce=UUID="ab0b387d-7533-4e69-a8ac-ee5ab733c5f7"
--- End code ---

tested on TC16
also tested on TC15 >> same behaviour

In itself this is not a big deal, I can easily add sudo getTime.sh to boot local.sh
Just want to understand whether I do something wrong

It runs automatically if you are using dhcp for your network.  But it will timeout after 60s if the network does not have an address.

If you use a static network configuration, the you need to manage it all manually.

Stefann:
As far as I understand (I'm not a guru) I'm using dhcp:
- I'm assigning it a fixed address from my router but I consider that dhcp (right?)
- I have no config files in .filetool.lst, only network related is "usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf" but that is apache only I think.
- also not other files in /opt or /opt (but I may overlook something)

And I'm booting below 60seconds:
- I'm booting in 39seconds towards a ssh prompt

So I feel "it should have worked" out of the box.
Note: running 32bit version on 64bit Via Eden cpu

Any "tip" on how to debug this further?

mmmh... maybe I should modify the getTime.sh such that it creates a logging

Paul_123:
It’s not the boot time, it’s how long it takes for you to get a network address. ntp is also not instantaneous when syncing a time.

 It’s called from /etc/init.d/tc-config. (Near the end). /etc/inti.d/settime.sh is what gets called.

Stefann:
thanks,
I'll check what happens.
ehh... if I got an ssh connection from a remote computer 39seconds after start, the network connection should also have been there within that 39seconds.

Anyway... no worry... I'll figure that out.
thanks for pointing me into a direction
(expect it to take a day or so before I have an update)
