Any chance you can upgrade to Plasma 6 somehow and see if it's fixed now? There was a lot of re-plumbing here that could have fixed the issue for you.

I would rather stay at Kubuntu's version as it took a lot of work to get Plasma (themes in particular) usable as it is. Do you think I should file a bug with Kubuntu instead?

Here is the error log https://pastebin.com/qd6Md9Dv

The System Settings dialog for Night Color does not affect the colour temperature at all, even when it's set to Always On. The only way I can turn it on is by clicking the applet in the system tray.

so perhaps the title of the bug should be renamed to "night color system settings dialog does not take any effect".

Thanks. This looks like the log of when automatic location is enabled. Can you also provide one for when manual timings is enabled?

Thanks for replying, if we sort it I'll try get Kubuntu to backport the fix

This bug was fixed. All plasma/framework/QT versions are the same as those initially reported. The only difference is I'm now on Linux 6.5.0-28-generic (64-bit). Maybe it was a kernel bug. Anyway it's fixed now on Kubuntu 23.10 with the latest updates.

Now the bug is present in the way originally described... 

When I change the applet settings to "always on" or "always off" the change is reflected immediately. However when I set it to automatically change based on locations, it stays on no matter the time of day. 

The displayed information is correct, i.e. my location and on/off times are calculated correctly, however it still turns "on" Night Color when it should be off. 

For instance it is 3.47pm right now and Night Color is active, even though the applet says "color temperature will begin changing at 17.13."

I am able to reproduce this on git-master but not on Plasma 6.2.3

On git-master:
Yesterday, in the Brightness applet I set Night Light to automatic
Later I put the system to sleep
This morning when I woke the system, night light is still on
In the Brightness tooltip it says:

> Night Light at night color temperature
> Night Light morning transition scheduled for 11:21 PM

Switching time setting: Sunset and sunrise at current location
System timezone: Chicago (CST)

Actual sunrise today & tomorrow    6:50

I'm wondering if the time I saved the settings yesterday afternoon somehow affected the calculation Night Light is doing

The issue on my git-master system appears to be different, and in location services failing to set the right location for the night light
If I disable and re-enable Night Light based on sunrise and sunset at current location, night light is turned back on
It's just doing so at the wrong time, even though GeoIP correctly detects my location based on the machine's IP. 
Current location shown is Lat: 0 Long: 0

Therefore I was not able to reproduce *this* bug where the night light is turned on / off automatically 
I can't reproduce on KDE Neon Testing either

Cool, then let's call this issue fixed. If you're saying that now you have a new issue, that needs a new bug report, so we don't all get confused trying to track multiple issues with the same bug report.

In the new bug report you're going to file, please attach the terminal output of running `systemsettings kcm_nightlight` and them making the issue happen there. Thanks!
