[SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

I've triend installing and setting up both xflux and redshift to get a color temperature shift on my screen in the evenings.
Neither of these programs do anything to my screens, just now tried xflux "Preview" button in the GUI, and nothing.

I have two monitors running xorg with nvidia drivers, xfce4 and randr, anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

What do you mean by "do anything to my screens"?
How did you invoke them?
What happens on

redshift -O 3500K

?

Absolutely nothing happens, which is what I mean by "Neither of these programs do anything to my screens" - there is no change whatsoever.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

You suggest there is *no* action at all? No status output??

Assuming that's not the case:
Which method is used?
Did you try one of the others?

Please be conclusive and exact when you provide informations, otherwise this is going nowhere.

There is no action at all, like I said, there is no output, no nothing.

[user@arch ~]$ redshift -O 3500K
[user@arch ~]$ 

If I start redshift by just using the command "redshift", it takes over the terminal focus, but nothing happens.
If I start redshift from my applications I get the tray icon with "autostart" and "enabled" checked, but the screen is not affected at all.

If I start xflux I get the tray icon, same thing here, nothing happens to the screen color, not even when clicking "Preview" from the GUI.
If I run xflux from terminal I get a message ;

"Found 1 screen.
Sorry, we only support 8 and 10-bit displays right now."

With redshift I tried all the methods with "redshift -m METHOD -O 3400K", drm, randr, vidmode and dummy. None of them do anything.
I'm pretty stumped by this.. something seems to be preventing both xflux and redshift from doing their thing.

This sounds interesting, but you should also get *some* output from redshift

type redshift
redshift -V
xdpyinfo | tee dpy.info # paste dpy.info, this one's longer ...
xrandr -q

I agree, and thanks for helping me, I appreciate it.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

Nope...
It's not a randr-less xinerama setup and you've 24bit/8bpc.

Get xfce (resp. any compositor?) out of the way and startx xterm  - see whether things work there.

Sorry about the delay in replying again, I was away on a holiday.

Going to startx and only xterm, xflux still complains about "Will only work on X console", but redshift does tone the screen color immediately, however, only on my left monitor, but that's not the major issue at the moment.
So xfce4 is in the way of letting redshift do its thing?

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

Seems so - if not the compositor, it might bring its own gamma manipulation (sorry, don't know)
Never used xflux, but the AUR package seems to ship a 4 year old binary??

The single-output thing is weird - did you try other methods?

I might as well use redshift, I don't care which one in the end.
What do you mean by other methods?

"redshift -m list" - dummy will expectably not work ;-)

No, none of them work hmm
I tried installing gnome and ran redshift on it, worked immediately. I guess gnome is on Wayland now though, so completely different playground.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

redshift should not work on wayland at all - https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/55
You're probably on gnome on Xorg (because of nvidia) - does it adjust both monitors there?

Yeah, and I'm trying MATE right now, and both screens are toned with it as well.
I'm thinking of perhaps switching over to MATE, since XFCE seems to have some strange behaviors, but it is really lightweight, so if possible I would still like to solve this.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

Do you have ForceFullCompositionPipeline enabled? That seems to be a common issue:

No, I disabled it in my conf file, made no difference.
I noticed that in MATE when I went into the display settings and set my other monitor as primary redshift stopped working just like on XFCE.
I tried doing the same in XFCE, but redshift didn't start working by shifting primary displays.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

I just tried setting ForceCompositionPipeline (not Force FullCompositionPipeline) to Off in my nvidia.conf in xinit.conf.d, this actually gets redshift to work, the color overlay works perfectly.
However stting ForceCompositionPipeline to Off results in severe screen tearing when scrolling in a web browser or similar, its not on an acceptable level.
Any ideas for a workaround?

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

Would it be possible to find a solution to fixing this if I were to switch over to nouveau drives instead of nvidia proprietary?
I don't play games on my Arch installation, so whichever driver I use might not make much of a difference.

Re: [SOLVED] Neither xflux nor redshift change color temperature

Okay so with the risk of slight thread necromancy I still want to leave a solution to this problem here.
By switching compositors for XFCE from xfwm to compton and disabling ForceFullCompositionPipeline in the nvidia settings redshift now works, and compton, unlike xfwm, seems to manage this without screen tearing.
Will mark this issue solved.
