#20 time not reporting and acting correctly
Running archlinux and calise 0.4.1. Calibration and install worked fine. But I can't seem to get calise to run night/day/dawn at the correct times... eg (from my syslog)
Mar 10 10:13:54 snausage.castriess.com calised[4587]: [10:13:54][INFO - calise.capture] Capture precision is too low, requesting additional captures

Mar 10 10:13:55 snausage.castriess.com calised[4587]: [10:13:55][INFO - calise.thread] Sleeptime set to 74603.44
Note it's 10:13 in the morning!
I'm sure the timezone and whatnot is set correcty... eg:
$: timedatectl status

calise.conf
If the timezone is correctly set, then try to check geoip informations:
calised --dump-settings
if either latitude or longitude setting is wrong, set them manually inside the config file (~/.config/calise/default.cfg) or create a config file ad hoc and disable geoip lookup either inside the config file or with the cli parameter "--no-geoip".
Sry if I answered that late, I'm kinda busy since last summer.
Timezone's correct. I pulled the geoip lat/long which was autodetected from the config and it's suprisingly accurate (within a few city blocks of my actual location). I disabled geoip and wrote the location in the [System] section, and saw identical results. So it looks like geoip is working as well as manually specifying the location.

The only difference I saw in the log is if I disabled geoip and the location in the config file, the time of day changed to "None". I also noticed the following pattern in the journal which is really odd.
journalctl | grep "Time of the day is"

(ignore the timing, many of those log times are manual restarts). I just thought it was odd that the "time of day" is night and dawn and that's it.
Confirmed.
Working on it.
The bug triggers with longitudes below ~ -78 and equal and above ~ 80.
Setting and rising times obtained (setting for < -78, rising for > 80) are like 86400 (a day) minus something, instead of just something, and so it's always "night"...
Workaround posted within 0.4.1 folder: iss3607544.fix.diff
Archlinux package updated too.
Seems that the patch posted solves only part of the bug. Working on the rest.
This is quite old, anyway if I remember correctly this issue was fixed long ago, I'm closing setting "fixed" for now.
Feel free to reopen if you suffer this same issue.
