      Have installed the application on my desktop, but whenever I start it with $xflux -l 37.xx -g -2.xx my desktop changes into an art studio and I can't read it anymore, quite colorful. Not compatible with Lubuntu 18.04? What is going wrong?

      here is how to do it... cat timer.cc #include <time.h> struct tm *gmtime_r(const time_t *timep, struct tm *result) { result-> tm_sec = 0; /* seconds */ result-> tm_min = 2; /* minutes */ result-> tm_hour = 12; /* hours */ result-> tm_mday = 21; /* day of the month */ result-> tm_mon = 12; /* month */ result-> tm_year = 2020; /* year */ result-> tm_wday = 3; /* day of the week */ result-> tm_yday = 355; /* day in the year */ result-> tm_isdst = 0; /* daylight saving time */ return result; } create this file (note the contents for date/time are constantly set for Sydney summer solstice night time) gcc -shared -o libtimemachine.so -fPIC timer.cc this compiles a shared library that mimics the gmtime_r function (which is used by f.lux and hardcodes it to a set time - change yours to a suitable time based upon your timezone) LD_PRELOAD=./libtimemachine.so xflux -k 2000 -l 1 -nofork

      @dsw2222 said in "Sorry, we only support 8 and 10-bit displays right now.": #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xflux11 -r 0 $* you can go further and do this the elegant debian way create the script as /usr/local/bin/xflux and make it executable copy the xflux12 binary as /usr/local/bin/xflux12 and make it executable run this once: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/xflux xflux /usr/local/bin/xflux 100

      This happens to me, when multiple f.lux sessions are running in the background at the same time. I use this script, to terminate them all: #!/bin/bash killall xflux; while true; do allxflux=$(pidof xflux); wtsp=" "; tmpxflux=${allxflux%%"$wtsp"*}; allxflux=${allxflux#*"$wtsp"}; case "$allxflux" in *" "*) kill -9 "$tmpxflux"; continue; ;; *) kill -9 "$tmpxflux"; break; ;; esac; done; exit 0; The script above terminates all f.lux sessions based on their PIDs. After that, you can start a new f.lux session. Hope that this can help you! :)

      I'm on Linux Mint too and yesterday I installed F.Lux without issues. The thing is it doesn't work. Preview doesn't do anything either. Any suggestions? Thank you

      S

      I just ran into this. It is available in 18.4 bionic, so if you edit the sources file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nathan-renniewaldock-ubuntu-flux-cosmic.list, and change cosmic to bionic on the first line, you'll be able to install it.
