      Hello, I'm trying to install xf.lux in Ubuntu 20.04 but I can't manage to do it.
      Do you know a way?

      So, I followed this but the commands don't work https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/1533/installing-f-lux-on-ubuntu-via-terminal
      I tried all the steps in the github like these:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install fluxgui

      but it gives me an error, but it works without any problem on Ubuntu 19.10 (I had to install it to use xf.lux and it works wonderfully there), and I guess the problem is the are no ppa for the new Ubuntu version as I can see here https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/ubuntu/flux

      Is there a workaround for this?

      Thanks

        @bar_fabrizio I have the same problem. It would be better if there were separate downloadfiles for each version of Ubuntu. Including the latest version.

          I have installed it as follows:
          1º) Download the package for EOAN version in

          https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/ubuntu/flux/+files/fluxgui_1.2.0~pre~20190501-g0548b6f-1~eoan_all.deb

          2º) Execute in the shell:

          $sudo dpkg -i fluxgui_1.2.0 ~ pre ~ 20190501-g0548b6f-1 ~ eoan_all.deb

          $sudo apt-get install fluxgui

            1. Done
            2. dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'fluxgui_1.2.0': No such file or directory

            Any suggestions?

              The reason you get a problem @jovancha is because you copied the command as provided by @q92helea. However, when copying the the command into the forum, spaces where added in between, which there shouldn't be.

              The following commands worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04:

              1. Download the file:
              wget https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/ubuntu/flux/+files/fluxgui_1.2.0~pre~20190501-g0548b6f-1~eoan_all.deb 
              
              1. Then install the file
              sudo dpkg -i fluxgui_1.2.0\~pre\~20190501-g0548b6f-1\~eoan_all.deb
              

              If you get complaints that python3-pexpect is required, then you need to install the missing package and after that install again.

              sudo apt --fix-broken install python3-pexpect
              
              sudo dpkg -i fluxgui_1.2.0\~pre\~20190501-g0548b6f-1\~eoan_all.deb

                On Ubuntu, f.lux does not always seem to work too well. You can always try redshift-gtk otherwise
