I have Google auth enabled, and it was working. But then something happened (I think I accepted an automatic update to my machine specs on linode.com) and now Google auth doesn’t work, and Discourse says Unable to verify authorization token due to server clock differences. Please try again. whenever I try to log in with Google (I haven’t tried the other login methods except username/password). I’m not sure what causes this error, and there’s no search results with answers on Google. I did look at my server’s NTP logs, and I see errors like ntpd[23986]: giving up resolving host 1.arch.pool.ntp.org: Servname not supported for ai_socktype (-8) which seems like it would be related (causing a clock difference). Is this in fact what the problem may be?

[immagine] trusktr: Servname not supported for ai_socktype What does grep ntp /etc/services tell you? There should be two lines: ntp 123/tcp ntp 123/udp If they’re not there, add them and restart your ntp service.

Thanks for the tip! Turns out I was confused: the Discourse is running on another server (my subdomain points to another PI) On this other machine NTP was not installed, so I installed it (apt install ntp in Ubuntu), and now there’s no problem!

im facing the same issue, please see output of grep ntp /etc/services [image] Does anyone else know what else can i do to fix this? @RGJ

fixed it by following, Google Login Stopped Working after manual update

Errore "Impossibile verificare il token di autorizzazione a causa di differenze nell'orario del server"
