Plasma 6 beta 1 has been released! And so far the feedback has been very positive. A few final features snuck in before we started on the mega bugfixing marathon, which began this week! Please do c…
Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent…
I don’t know how its sourced for sure, but are you using a vpn? It could be figuring out what servers you’re connected to and their geographical location so if using a VPN and connecting to a different continent, it could be pulling timezone from that continent.
No VPN, it’s strange because I haven’t had a problem with any other services that use IP geolocation (which I assume is what KDE uses) - even Gnome’s auto location tool seems to work fine.
Randomly thought of this today: how did you install kde? Did it come packages with your distro or did you install it manually? I was wondering if maybe there’s a config file that’s supposed to be set with your timezone or something that isn’t set (specifically for the night mode feature) and its defaulting to a hardcoded default in the code or another config or something?
Generally it’s just through my distro, it’s always occurred since I’ve used KDE unfortunately (since that was one of my first thoughts). This has been across Fedora (and derivatives), Nix, Arch, and Kubuntu.

Geoclue I think, that damn process it always running in the background. Okay wow I should maybe try to just disable it.
Afaik it works over IP using Mozilla Location Services or something
