tl;dr Exactly what steps must a newbie like me undertake to configure RPi 400 in the way that it obtains current time from some official NTP server every time it boots up?
I am just trying my first steps with RPi 400, but I hit the wall with not being able to setup my Pi's clock. Neither manually nor through NTP.
My first attempt was to try to do this purely manually, but opening calendar and clicking througs different days, months, years brings no effect. System clock is all the time set to December 26th, 2022.
My next attempt was to use timedatectl. Executing just:
sudo timedatectl
told me that my timezone is correct and that my NTP sync is on.
This should be enough per this comment, where rob says that when my Pi "is connected either wirelessly or via ethernet to the internet and the built in NTP client sets the clock". This turns out to be untrue in my case. I have Internet connection and I still have clock behind.
I dig through internet and found a suggestion to execute:
sudo apt install ntp
Did so and all that I achieved was... that timedatectl started to claim that my NTP sync is inactive. And no way to make it active again, because executing:
sudo timedatectl set-ntp on
with or without rebooting Pi brings no effect.
