[SOLVED] stellarium showing wrong objects positions

just stellarium showing wrong things, like the location or time are wrong...

i discover stellarium long time ago but i barely uses it, some time ago i remember that i see the moon in it and looking outside i can see the moon too! it was awesome, lately i noticed that the objects that i see in the program, say the moon, the sun, are not in the correct "place" for example right now here in argentina time is 08:40am and i see the sun like it was near midday, and i can say that now the moon never shows where it needs to be

I've set localtime to UTC when i installed arch, but i remember one time setting it to localtime and back to UTC but not remember why, besides i dont know the diference...

here's my rc.conf

#

# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)

Re: [SOLVED] stellarium showing wrong objects positions

Just in case: Did you set your location correctly in stellarium? I noticed that the new version (0.10) reseted the settings.

BTW. UTC is time in GMT (e.g. London, England) and localtime is time wherever you are (Argentila I guess). If your clock is set to localtime and settings are for UTC it could be cause of your problems.
