Night Light turns on too early

English Applications

Hi all,

I just tried out the (not really) new Gnome Night Light, that shall reduce the blue parts in my monitor lights. It does this well, but, imho it turns on extremely early in the evening. I am in Germany, sun-set here today is around 9:30 pm, but Gnome Night Light already dims out the blue light at 5 pm, when the sun is shining brightly through my window. Is this behaviour to be expected? (I cross-checked that my time zone is set to Berlin, and my PC auto-detects the correct time, so this is probably not an issue.)
If it is expected behaviour, is there a way I could tell Gnome to only switch on Night Light at maybe one hour before sun-set?

Cheers,

pbiel

Hi
Is the BIOS (hwclock) time set to UTC? I always use UTC, then set timezone and select the checkbox for UTC. If it’s a dual boot with say Windows, there is s registry tweak for UTC time.

Is the BIOS (hwclock) time set to UTC?

If I run # hwclock --show, I get the current local time and the correct time zone (CEST). I assume that’s correct.

If I run -# hwclock --show-, I get the current local time and the
correct time zone (CEST). I assume that’s correct.

Hi
I’m at CDT here, I have my BIOS set to UTC and ntp running, I see;


hwclock --show
2018-05-18 08:27:38.888855-0500

hwclock -l
2018-05-18 13:27:40.670645-0500

hwclock -u
2018-05-18 08:27:44.435773-0500

Localtime is UTC… I tested nigh light last evening and it worked at
the correct time, TW VERSION=“20180516”.
