*** Bug 210718 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Similar problem here, though I'm in Melbourne AU and have my hardware clock set to UTC. It shows LT one hour behind the correct local time (15 Dec 09) and corrects itself (including repositioning objects) if i go to settings->geographic and press 'ok'. Similar problem here. I have Kstars 1.5.3 KDE 4.3.2 Ubuntu (64 bit) 9.10 Linux version 2.6.31-20-generic (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.4 .1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) ) #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 (Ubuntu 2.6.31-20.58-generic) If I run the startup-wizard the time is correct until I restart Kstars. After that is is 1 hour before EDT System time and location (Utica, NY) have been set. I am seeing the same problem. Apparently the version of kstars I am using still reflects the old US daylight savings time rules, even though I downloaded & installed the "update" referred to in the program's "download new data" option. The sunrise and sunset times, for example, are one hour too early for early April here in Wyoming. Same problem here with KStars 1.5.3 and KDE 4.3.4. Just clicking OK in [Settings] -> [Geographic], the local time displays correctly. Quite annoying wiht rise and set times. Marco's tip fixes it until kstars is closed. On startup I have to press OK in [Geographic] again. KDE 4.3.4, KStars 1.5.3, Kubuntu 9.10 32bit. [Geographic] set on Athens, Greece, UT+2.00, DST Rule EU. Kstars is one hour behind local time. This happened when time changed to daylight saving time, seems like Kstars ignores the change from +2.00 to +3.00 Same problem in Estonia Kstars 1.6.0 in KDE SC 4.5.0 still doesn't respect daylight savings settings on startup. Workaround with [Settings] -> [Geographic] is working, but it's very annoying to do that on every startup. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Additional workaround: Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kstarsrc and in the Location section add DST=EU (replace EU with your DST rule code).
