Bug ID: 498622
Summary: cant find current location automatically due to dead
website GeoIP
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_nightcolor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@theoreticallyhugo.com
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. go to settings -> colours & themes -> Night Light
2. set Switching times to "Sunset and surise at current location"
OBSERVED RESULT
Does not stop "Locating...".
The device cant use gps or cell tower triangulation since its a desktop pc, so
it must be attempting to use GeoIP.
Clicking the link leads to "https://geoip.com/privacy/"; with the message "The
domain name is parked using the Epik parking platform.".
I guess GeoIP doesnt exist anymore...
EXPECTED RESULT
Find the location and set Sunset and sunrise properly for current location.
