"redshift only gets darker" #2747

Closed Stoatwblr closed 1 year ago

Stoatwblr commented 4 years ago

This is on Ubuntu 19.10 and seems to be common with the KDE applet bug report:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2019/10/msg00011.html

This is due to a parameter change in redshift:

Description: Redshift version >= 1.12 requires the -P option to clear the existing gamma ramps for one-shot mode. Without it the screen gets darker and darker until it is impossible to see anything.

The fix is simple enough if you look at the kde entry above

I've tried to debug and fix this applet, but without any luck. Here is the one shot line (where I've tried to add -P flag): https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/b9b238ca63aaa86e284fd7df2e4a397ada802a71/redshift%40marvel4u/files/redshift%40marvel4u/applet.js#L327 This plugin also flickers on changing brightness by slider (flicker seems to be cause by brightness being switched between 100% and set value)

NOTE (for other users encountered this issue) I can only recommend trying QRedshift applet, which seems not to have those issues.
