During my recent work, I attempted to install the Kubuntu operating system on a ThinkBook 16+. However, I encountered an intriguing issue. After successful installation, I began to experience unpredictable system crashes followed by a reboot. In this blog, I will share my troubleshooting and resolution process, hoping to help readers who encounter similar issues.
In Feb.6 2022. I miss the interview with ****(name reducted). The reason for that is that my calendar had its sheduled interview time at 12:30 instead of 11:30.The event in the calendar was automatically added using an todo list application (a sub module of FMA) written by myself, so there must be a hidden bug I didn't find.
Debugging
I first analyze the process of event synchronization. There are basically two stage, the first stage is parsing, the second stage is send request to calendar api.
I first test calendar api using an unit test I've already written. Everything works fine.
So, the problem occurs in time parsing stage.
After running another unit test, I found out there was a bug in time conversion. I forgot to change timezone value
1 2
// to unix time currentTime.Add(time.Hour*(-7))
because In Canada, there is a daylight saving time. In winnter, it is actually -8 instead of -7!
As a result, the calculated time is one hour later than the actual time.
