I'm getting this error when I run gtk-redshift
from the CLI (it just doesn't start if I start it from the GUI):
(process:3862): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed
If I run redshift
, I also get the same error as above, followed by this:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I'm running redshift version 1.7 and Xubuntu 12.10.

You may need create a config file to avoid the crash..
Create a file named redshift.conf and save it into
~/.config/redshift.conf
. Here you have an example to create the config file:To know the coordinates for your city you can use itouchmap. Just search for your place and write down the numbers.
eg: My city Buenos Aires is
lat=-34.6
andlon=-58.3
Once you have created the
redshift.conf
file, run the application and see if it works. You can find additional information about commands, config file, values on the Redshift website...
