Crash when daylight savings time started

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Crash when daylight savings time started

Post by steve »

Did anyone else get this crash when BST started? Presumably no-one in the US had this, as DST started there a week or two ago?

System.ArgumentException: dateTime is invalid and Kind is Local

Mine happened in the Davis data reading code, and data reading subsequently stopped as a result.

If you had a similar problem, please say what type of station you have and what platform you're running on.

Build 3022 running on Fine Offset and Raspberry Pi.

It survived the time change but trends look a bit odd http://svane-magnus.dk/weather2/trends.htm

The diagnostic shows the hour changing 2->1->2->4.

A copy of the diagnostic attached.

I think that must be a problem with the timezone settings on your Pi, Cumulus just uses the current system time, it doesn't change the clock. It looks like you ended up with your clock two hours advanced, so is it correct now? If so, it was presumably wrong before the change?

Time is ok now.
I can't tell for sure whether the setting was wrong yesterday, (then some thing should have gone wrong when I installed b3022).
It has although always been correct earlier except from occasionally a few seconds deviation.

If you look through your system logs, you should be able to see what's been happening to the clock. And I would imagine that the DST changes are logged somewhere, but I don't know where that would be

I'm running vue & PI 2.

cumulus didn't crash, but the time on the PI didn't update. I'm not sure whether the time update was my fault, but everything is now OK since i reconfigured the time zone.

Same here, my Pi time didn't change, so I have missed the setting.

The time on my Pi didn't change either, it looks like by default the Pi is configured to UTC when I went in to the raspi-conf file and changed the time zone in the internationalization menu to GMT everything was good and should be ok going forward.
