I use NTP, though I have a local stratum 1 server on the internal network (GPS).

I’ve been trying, but whether I use date within the skiroot shell to set the date or within Void itself, it doesn’t seem to stick. Forgive me, I’m new to this - can you show me how?
edit: to clarify, date appears to update correctly, but hwclock remains firmly convinced that it is June 8th, and nothing I’ve been able to do disabuses it of the notion. I’ve tried syncing the system time to the hardware clock so they’re at least both wrong to the same extent, but networking still doesn’t work
edit the second: I skipped connecting to the BMC initially, which is where I’m supposed to initially set the date. D’oh. I’ll take care of that this week and pray until then.

The options through BMC can be either NTP or manually set. I'm interested to see what works for you, since I've found both to be a bit fussy.

I ended up doing both: set the time manually, then set a NIST IP address and reset to NTP. Then I selected Both for the clock control after the first time didn’t propagate settings from the BMC/hardware clock to the system clock. I don’t know what the Split option does - anybody have insight there?
Hasturtium:
Another dumb question: I've installed xscreensaver and would like to use it instead of xfce4-screensaver. However, disabling xfce4-screensaver at startup via the Settings Manager's Session and Startup Application Autostart entry doesn't appear to do the trick. And despite entering xscreensaver settings manually and asserting that I want it to run, xfce4-screensaver periodically restarts itself and interferes with the process. What's the best procedure to follow?
MPC7500:
Dumb question? Good question. I have no idea, I don't use xfce. since it's not a PowerPC specific problem you could ask the void or xfce community, if you don't get an answer here.

I do the same, because most of my topics aren't PowerPC specific.
I googled, maybe this helps?

Hasturtium:
Just a heads up - it looks like Void Linux ppc64 is winding down, and will be replaced by Chimera Linux going forward. Details outlined here.
