Ubuntu – Flux, Redshift and Night Color don’t work (Ubuntu Budgie)

budgie

Help me, please. I can't work without flux. I tried everything. Flux does nothing (even when I press preview button), Night Color applet does nothing and Redshift gives "trying location provider 'geoclue2'" error

If, for whatever reason, Flux, Redshift or the Night Color applet do not work for you, consider installing sct from the universe repository provided you're on 18.04 or higher. sct isn't available for 16.04 or older versions.

It's a small program and probably won't pull in many dependencies. You can try apt install -s sct to preview what will be installed: -s provides a simulation and doesn't need sudo.

If you do decide to try sct, man sct has

DESCRIPTION
       sct sets the screen's color temperature in a range from 1000 to 10000

OPTIONS
       temperature
              If passed a value in the correct range (see above) sct will set the current screen temperature to this value

       -h     If -h is passed sct will display usage information

       none   If no options are passed sct sets the color temperature to the default of 6500

So when you want a warmer screen, open a terminal and run sct 3500 for example. And when you want to revert to normalcy, just run sct.
