Redshift closes when connecting a monitor #302

Open tomrozb opened 8 years ago

tomrozb commented 8 years ago

I've a problem with redshift that it sometimes closes after I connect a monitor using HDMI cable.

I wanted to attach some logs but I couldn't find any. Where does redshift store logs or crash information?

maandree commented 8 years ago

There are no logs. But there is some output to stderr.

Is it possible to capture the standard error when redshift is started from autostart? I mean it's added to .config/autostart

I've tried such start command: "redshift-gtk &> ~/redshift" but the file is empty even after crash. I've no idea why

@tomrozb Thanks for the report. redshift-gtk will probably not produce any relevant error messages. Is it possible for you to run redshift (not redshift-gtk) from a terminal? That should allow you to see any error messages.

tomrozb commented 8 years ago

Yes it is. The only logs after a few days of using it and seeing it crashing from time to time are presented below:

Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
According to the geoclue provider we're at: 47.62, -122.14

As you can see nothing special, just some geo logs. How can I debug what's wrong and why it's crashing?
