Description Jesús Vidal 2011-02-08 17:56:00 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I'm using desktop globe, and on KDE 4.6 SC the sunlight does not match the local time. I mean, when it's morning on my country it shows night, and when it's night it shows morning.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Jesús Vidal 2011-02-16 23:20:52 UTC

Sorry, this bug can be closed. Changing to show an image, and then again choose Globe, solves the problem (at least, it seems that after doing that it's working)

Comment 2 Jesús Vidal 2011-02-17 10:10:07 UTC

Well, i was wrong, this only works on night. It seems that the globe doesn't take the correct time, it's always getting night time. I mean, it is always getting the hours as night hours. So back again as a bug....sorry.

Marble Virtual Globe
Version 1.0.0 (Stable Release)
Using KDE Development Platform 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 395"

When run as stand-alone application, Marble shows the correct daylight shadow in satellite view. When run as desktop background, the daylight is approx. 3 hours in advance of real time.

I have the same problem with the sunlight on my computer.

Comment 5 Erik Zeek 2011-05-05 00:32:09 UTC

I'm seeing this behavior on Fedora 13 and Gentoo.

That should be Fedora 14.

I got annoyed enough by this bug that I went ahead and fixed it.  A patch against kdeplasma-addons-4.6.2 is attached; could sbd. from the KDE project please merge it?  It fixes the time issue from this bug, and also the fact that "Show placemarks" did not affect "Terrain" marks.  So with this patch, if "Show placemarks" is unchecked, the globe will not have any labels on it.

Comment 9 Sascha Peilicke 2011-05-25 09:02:58 UTC

Just applied it, please re-test and close if it's working.

I just tested git HEAD and it works fine.  I can't close it though since I'm not the one who reported it.
