  Running 64 bit Mint 18. Install worked just fine. The instruction to run xflux was fine. Just one point, if you live in the western hemisphere don''t forget to put a - in front of your longitude. For example, -95.55 instead of 95.55. When I put in 95.55 it told me it was night and the screen dimmed down. At least I knew it worked. I imagine the same holds true for those in the southern hemisphere.

  Look forward to playing with this tool.

  @ntc2ntc2 said in "Sorry, we only support 8 and 10-bit displays right now.":

  @herf Adding -r 0 also works for me. I have two displays and both of them get redshifted. I would like to add -r 0 to xfluxgui [...]

  Hey, I've got it working with xfluxgui by creating a small wrapper script for xflux.

  I´m assuming here that you downloaded xflux11 and saved it on /usr/bin (where the original xflux resides in my Linux Mint).

  Move your original /usr/bin/xflux to /usr/bin/xflux.original

  Save this script as /usr/bin/xflux

  #!/bin/bash
  /usr/bin/xflux11 -r 0 $*

  Now, when you start xfluxgui, it will start the script that, in turn, will start xflux11 and pass all the parameters you have configured in xfluxgui.

  Worked like a charm here.

  Btw, kudos to the author. I've been using f.lux for more than a year now and I sleep much faster/better after working late on my computer.

  I effectively went "always night mode" by making my Lat/Long the other side of the world of where I live. If I am on late enough in the night, the sun does come up for me though

  I am so fkn stupid. I installed via flux-pre.tgz
  I then copied the file to /usr/bin. And no wonder I couldnt uninstall it via apt or apt-get because I didnt use a package manager to install. So of course it would say package not found.

  SOLUTION:
  Flux on linux is a stand alone program and if you downloaded it from .tgz then copied it to /usr/bin, All you need to do to remove flux via terminal is, <code> sudo rm /usr/bin/xflux</code> Try to run flux in terminal and you will get no response. There fore uninstalled!

  @celestion
  Binaries are executables of programs which don't need to be built from source. They 'just work', or they don't. Like the .exe files in Windows.
  Debian is a Binary distro, as are all Debian-derivatives (Ubuntu, Mint, etc). Gentoo Linux builds everything from source, which requires the steps to make the binaries which are then built specifically to your hardware, but this takes some time and effort.
  Xflux is solely distributed as premade binaries.
  The thread I linked to had to do with Nvidia drivers suddenly accounting for 11-bit screens and xflux being built only on 8-bit and 10-bit screens. They made the xflux11 binary to account for it, and also the xflux12 binary to further narrow down the issue, and I'm sure it's supposed to be rolled out properly to the various distros given the problem was solved by them.

  Your problem seems to be related to the Voyager Mod gtk2 theme or the Thunar file manager not playing fair with one another and has no relation to your xflux install whatsoever.
  If you open terminal and try to run /usr/bin/xflux (or /usr/bin/xflux11) and xflux gives you the error as shown in the linked thread, then it's worth to look at downloading the fixes which have been posted in there (xflux11/xflux12) and see if those work better on your system.
  Otherwise you may need to contact the gtk2 theme maker or thunar devs for your specific issue.

  I have to move to Redshift because of this issue. Any plan to fix the second monitor issue? I saw the windows version has an excellent support for DisplayLink connected external monitors. It shouldn't be hard to make it work for the Linux Version. Right?

  Please refer to this thread and attempt to use the xflux11 or xflux12 binaries first. Make sure to post a reply to that thread if either of those work for you.
