Description David Chmelik 2020-11-02 07:44:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
On Slackware GNU/Linux 14.2,14-current and (earlier) FreeBSD Unix 12.n,13-CURRENT, night color time is offset.  I have to enter a time seven or eight hours ahead to get the time I want, and unless I do it right (perhaps all at once, including transition minutes) it doesn't work and can't be changed.  So, after that it has to be reset back to default to be changed again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter custom night color times.
2. Double-check time entered.
3. See it all set seven or eight hours before.

OBSERVED RESULT

Offset times

EXPECTED RESULT

Use system time.

Seems like it's confused about your timezone or something. What is your system timezone set to? And have you set your clock timezone to display something different?
Comment 2 David Chmelik 2020-11-04 20:42:42 UTC 
My system time zone is set to US Pacific Time (PT: PST, PDT)  I have never set my KDE clock time zone because originally it was fine (said PDT.)  Now (after daylight saving time stopped) the clock reset its label/zone to UTC (and won't let me change back, as mentioned in another bug) except is still actually showing PST time fine.  However this night colour problem was happening weeks/months before the clock reset its labelled zone.  The offset time isn't a problem in 5.20.2, anyway (just I don't know when my operating system will get a KDE upgrade.)

Oh I bet this is the same problem as your general timezones-with-freebsd issue.

Comment 4 David Chmelik 2020-11-04 22:55:06 UTC 
It's not a duplicate, as was happening on FreeBSD and Slackware when my time zones were normal: showing PDT and labelled PDT.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-11-05 13:27:22 UTC 
Oops, sorry.
Comment 6 David Chmelik 2020-11-18 23:27:34 UTC 
After KDE finally accepted my time zone (after several error messages & failures) this is currently not a problem... but would be if KDE was using my PC's internal clock time that's correct for my time zone (PT) but KDE automatically chose the wrong time zone and it didn't let me change (UTC, which is what had happened)... now it does.  Maybe this was a duplicate then...
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2020-11-19 21:28:53 UTC 
Yes, I suspected as much. :)
