Hello everyone,
Has anyone recently managed to install the Redshift package and get it working?
If so, please feel free to share the steps with anyone new to NixOS…
Thanks.
Hello and welcome.
If you want to setup a service or any other program first google if there isn’t already a wiki entry or another forum post describing it. In this case just follow the wiki:
https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Redshift
There’s nothing particular to do, add something like this to your configuration.nix:
services.redshift = {
enable = true;
brightness.day = "1.0";
brightness.night = "0.8";
};
The redshift service will then start automatically when you log into you graphical user session.
No matter what I try, I’ve never managed to get anything other than this 
:
Whether with automatic location (with Geoclue2) or manual location, the results aren’t really conclusive despite my various searches (on the NixOS Wiki and the forums).
Hence my question: is Redshift operational or not?
can you share your config?
geoclue2 doesn’t work without a custom provider:
How did you set the lat/long manually?
