Nothing happens in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 #27

Open coaxial opened 11 years ago

coaxial commented 11 years ago

Installed it using the apt-get method after adding the PPA. I can see the applet but it is unable to detect current screen temperature and won't change color and clicking preferences in the menu doesn't do anything. After installing ia32-libs it detects current screen temp but still won't change after sunset. Preferences pane is opening but won't remember “launch on startup” and preview button doesn't work. It seems that whatever you do, it doesn't work in Ubuntu 12.04 x64

Get the command-line version at the bottom of this page: http://justgetflux.com/linux.html . Made it work for me, temp fix, seems like the gui is the culprit.

It's true that the command line version works, this is widely known. However, the indicator applet needs to be fixed. Is anyone familiar with the source code and cold look into it? I will try to fix this but I don't know when I'll have the time.

jbwinters commented 11 years ago

There were some fixes that aren't reflected in the PPA regarding launch on startup and I fixed a some other things earlier this year. Try pulling the latest code from github and see if it works. As far as I know the PPA is still out of date. And the preview button has issues due to problems in xflux.

I just installed f.lux today. and I'm running it on my Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS I set my latitude and longitude properly, but nothing happens, even though I changed many times the night time colour temperature and clicked preview. But still. no results. nothing happens at all I see no change in the colour temperature of the screen!

@monsieurjean check if you have both the applet/gui and the command line installed. The applet/GUI is just that: a frontend for the command line. If the command line isn't installed, it doesn't do anything but it won't give you an error.

monsieurjean commented 6 years ago

forgive me my ignorance . the applet/gui is the "window" of the program right? how can I install this command line?

thanks a lot!

coaxial commented 6 years ago

That's right, the applet/GUI is the window that you see.

To install the daemon, https://justgetflux.com/linux.html. You download the file that matches your needs, put it in your path (/usr/local/bin should do), and configure it.

yesterday I downloaded xflux64.tgz what should I exactly do with it? drag this xflux64.tgz to this path you appointed me? and then open it?
