Yeah it will take 30 seconds, before you see a response in the SSH session.
When nano is closed you enter the lines in the terminal and wait 30 seconds for a response.
sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/setdatetime.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable setdatetime.service && sudo systemctl start setdatetime.service
Hello @Wheaten, could you please help me?
I connected RTC ds3231, entered everything according to the instructions and I have a problem with access to the clock.
Volumio Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent

[sudo] password for volumio:
hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
hwclock: Use the --verbose option to see the details of our search for an access method.
volumio@volumio:~$
The clock is connected to the RPi4 with extension cables of approximately 20 cm, the cables are functional, I have checked each one separately.
I don’t know where the error is.
please post the output of:

when I type:

after entering this command I can edit config.txt
sudo nano config.txt
I know, I’m still a novice and I probably make ridiculous mistakes
small update:
volumio@volumio:~$ cat /boot/userconfig.txt
# Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved during updates
dtparam=i2c_arm_baudrate=800000
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231
RTC ds3231 is already working.
I found my mistake.
Thank you @Wheaten for directing my search
was indeed looking for this line
Hi Wheaten! Mind me to ask if rtc ds1302 can work with volumio?
Don’t have this one, but I think it will work.
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1302
Thanks wheaten!
I bought ds3231, ds1302 doesn’t work maybe not compatible.
Found a new script:
nano setntpserver.sh
copy in it:
#!/bin/bash
NTPSERVER="time.google.com"
TMPCONFIG=/dev/shm/tmpconfig.conf
# timesyncd
CONFIG=/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf
if [ -f "$CONFIG" ]
then
cat "$CONFIG" | grep -v -e 'NTP=' > "$TMPCONFIG"
echo "NTP=$NTPSERVER" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo chown root:root "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo chmod 644 "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo mv "$TMPCONFIG" "$CONFIG"
# /usr/sbin/ntpd
sudo service systemd-timesyncd restart
fi
# ntpd
CONFIG=/etc/ntp.conf
if [ -f "$CONFIG" ]
then
cat "$CONFIG" | grep -v -e 'pool ' > "$TMPCONFIG"
#echo "server $NTPSERVER" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
echo "pool time1.google.com iburst" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
echo "pool time2.google.com iburst" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
echo "pool time3.google.com iburst" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
echo "pool time4.google.com iburst" >> "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo chown root:root "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo chmod 644 "$TMPCONFIG"
sudo mv "$TMPCONFIG" "$CONFIG"
sudo service ntp restart
fi
I insert all this line in (nano setntpserver.sh)?
