I am synchronizing time using GPSD and Chrony. However, if the time is manually changed with date -s while the NTP service is active, synchronization is not possible again.
If time is changed with date -s, is time synchronization using ntp service ignored? Below is my chrony.conf / timedatectl / chronyc tracking screen.
chrony.conf
# information about usuable directives.
# This will use (up to):
# - 4 sources from ntp.ubuntu.com which some are ipv6 enabled
# - 2 sources from 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org which is ipv6 enabled as well
# - 1 source from [01].ubuntu.pool.ntp.org each (ipv4 only atm)
# This means by default, up to 6 dual-stack and up to 2 additional IPv4-only
# sources will be used.
# At the same time it retains some protection against one of the entries being
# down (compare to just using one of the lines). See (LP: #1754358) for the
# discussion.

If you look at the screen above, the timedatectl and chronyc tracking times are different.
If the ntp service is turned off and on or chronyd is restarted, it will be synchronized again.
If you have any information, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me.
