Hi!
My Redshift don't work anymore after upgrade to 19.04.
In 18.04-2 it worked with this command:
redshift -l 48.858:2.295 & disown
In 19.04, I run the above command in mate-terminal
and it shows me:
Using method `randr'.
Waiting for initial location to become available...
Location: 48.86 N, 2.30 E
nothing happened...
I don't use geoclue etc.
I run:
redshift-gtk -l -34.61:-58.38
in 19.04.
I used to add
[redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=
at the end of /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf in 18.10 but I think that doesn't work anymore.
I don't have geoclue installed because I don't need the services from geoclue.
I've come a little further with that command:
redshift -l 48.858:2.295 -t 5700:3600 -g 0.8 -m randr -v
Output:
Solar elevations: day above 3.0, night below -6.0
Temperatures: 5700K at day, 3600K at night
Brightness: 1.00:1.00
Gamma (Daytime): 0.800, 0.800, 0.800
Gamma (Night): 0.800, 0.800, 0.800
Waiting for initial location to become available...
Location: 48.86 N, 2.30 E
Color temperature: 6500K
Brightness: 1.00
Status: Enabled
Period: Daytime
Color temperature: 5700K
Status: Disabled
Period: None
Color temperature: 6500K
It worked for 3 seconds and then the screen flickering.
have you tried the -gtk version?
No @ gabdub...
It's running now...
I also removed libgeoclue-2-0 with:
"sudo apt purge --remove libgeoclue-2-0"
Run 'RedShift' in mate-terminal with this command:
killall redshift
redshift -l 48.858:2.295 -t 3600:3600 -r -g 0.8 -m randr -v
and now it's working for me.
Make a link etc. with this command:
redshift -l 48.858:2.295 -t 3600:3600 -r -g 0.8 -m randr
Found here the solution:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/redshift#Configuration
RedShift screen flickering:
Redshift makes the screen quickly flicker between the set color value of the screen and the default color value
Make sure there are not multiple instances of redshift running.
thank you, it worked for me
