Comment 8 for bug 1849156

hi, thank you for reply.

comment out line: ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/VBoxService
works for me.

I had to comment out so line:
ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/VBoxService

Both are commented out and timesyncd works.

Thank you.

Petr

> Bug description:
> Ubuntu 19.10's systemd package introduced /lib/systemd/system/systemd-
> timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf. This prevents
> systemd-timesyncd.service from starting if the ntp package has been
> installed. However, ntp.service has a Conflicts directive for
> systemd-timesyncd.service. If both services are enabled, neither will
> start on boot. This breaks upgrades from < 19.10 to 19.10 for systems
> that have both ntp and systemd installed.

> Possible workarounds:
