qredshift@quintao 1.7.3 completely stopped working on linux mint 21

• Applet version/Build date (Version 1.7.3)

• Cinnamon version (Cinnamon 5.4.12)

• Distribution - (Linux Mint 21) kernel 5.15.0-52-generic

• Graphics hardware and driver used:

  Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (rev 01) GA107M Geforce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile

  nvidia-driver-520-open version 520.56.06-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

Issue the applet is completely broken, and does not change the kelvin of the screen. It's still possible to manually change the temperature from terminal (redshift -O 4500) but doing so now "staks" the effect: if I input the same command twice, the temperature goes first to 4500 and then get more red the second time.

Steps to reproduce nothing really, the app is completely broken to me no matter what.

Expected behaviour the gui should work

Other information redshift-gtk is not installed. I have tried also the noveau graphic driver open source with no differences. No differences with reinstall either, nor with adjustment methods different from randr.

I have checked on another PC with mint 20.3 and latest qredshift version, and the applet is completely broken there as well

[raphaelquintao]

Can you please run the command which redshift-gtk and show me the output?

[sisa84]

It does not appear to have an output?

@sisa84 depending on the NVIDIA driver, the brightness etc may be being overwritten by that part of nvidia-settings. It may be worth checking there because the two can "fight" from what I've been experimenting with.

[sisa84]

Yes. Sadly it does not seems to respond with different gpus and different drivers.

ok so the problem might be with redshift itself rather then with this applet as i get similar problems with the other redhift applett, i close the issue for now.

[sisa84]

Ok so I'm reopening this because on the other computer with linux (that i never use) qredshift is not working aswell, but redshift is from terminal. the strange thing is that redshift commands adds up. eg if i input redshift -O 4500 twice the redness stacks, going to 2000 or so.

[sisa84]

ok nevermind problem lies with redshift.
