Help with Redshift

Just to make an update - I just made decision to switch to gammastep because it is a redshift fork so the same terminal commands worked and I got it running for more info see: There is the most up-to-date in app center as well so it's like one click away from install and you can also replace reshift right after as well while you're at the app center
