    hello @KMO, 

    you can get it working properly by removing the ntp package: 

    
sudo apt-get remove ntp

    if you do not wish to remove ntp, you can comment out the line below in /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-time-daemon.conf 

    
# ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/ntpd

    reboot and then update the system with 

    
sudo apt-get update

    check jobs with: 

    
systemctl list-jobs

    Thanks for your replay.

    I was able to solve the problem by removing the ntp package.

    Hello everyone,

    The logrotate.timer does not work cyclically in Tinker Edge R Debian 10 V2.0.5. This problem causes the log file to become large and take up drive space.

    On this OS, logrotate is executed by systemd, not cron.

    I understand that the essence of the problem is that logrotate.timer is not enabled. 

    $ systemctl status logrotate.timer
* logrotate.timer - Daily rotation of log files
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
  Trigger: n/a
     Docs: man:logrotate(8)
           man:logrotate.conf(5)

    Looking at the configuration file, the timer should run once a day. 

    $ systemctl cat logrotate.timer 
# /lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer
[Unit]
Description=Daily rotation of log files
Documentation=man:logrotate(8) man:logrotate.conf(5)

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
AccuracySec=12h
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

    It appears in the timer list, but there is no execution history. 

    $ systemctl list-timers 
NEXT LEFT LAST                         PASSED    UNIT                         ACTIVATES
n/a  n/a  n/a                          n/a       anacron.timer                anacron.service
n/a  n/a  n/a                          n/a       apt-daily-upgrade.timer      apt-daily-upgrade.service
n/a  n/a  n/a                          n/a       apt-daily.timer              apt-daily.service
n/a  n/a  n/a                          n/a       fstrim.timer                 fstrim.service
n/a  n/a  n/a                          n/a       logrotate.timer              logrotate.service

    I have tried start logrotate.timer, but this command never completes. 

    $ sudo systemctl start logrotate.timer

    I have confirmed that logrotate can be run manually. 

    $ sudo /usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf

    There is an option to edit /etc/cron.daily/logrotate to ignore the systemd timer and run logrotate in cron, but I consider this a last resort.

    Could anyone please share the steps to start logrotate.timer? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
