I'm struggling to synchronize my system clock on Pop OS 21.04.
I've read a lot of posts on the subject but it doesn't seem to help.
my system clock are not synchronized, which caused issues with loading some resources (e.g. gitlab)
$ timedatectl
Local time: Sat 2021-10-09 23:02:20 CEST
Universal time: Sat 2021-10-09 21:02:20 UTC
RTC time: Sat 2021-10-09 21:02:21
Time zone: Europe/Madrid (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
my timesyncd.conf looks as following
[Time]
NTP=0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org
FallbackNTP=ntp.ubuntu.com
RootDistanceMaxSec=5
PollIntervalMinSec=32
PollIntervalMaxSec=2048
I've changed NTP servers several time, used IPs and different servers but no matter what I do I always end up with:
$ systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
● systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization

AFAIK it uses 123 udp port to send requests, I don't have any firewall and it seems it's accessible
$ nc -vzu 0.pool.ntp.org 123
Connection to 0.pool.ntp.org (90.165.120.190) 123 port [udp/ntp] succeeded!
any help on how to synchronize system clock?
