I am trying to enable redshift-gtk, but I can’t get it to work. Whenever I launch redshift-gtk it appears in my i3bar, but nothing happens and the “Info” section is all default values:
Then, if I try to toggle “Enabled”, or Quit, I get this error message:
This happens even if I set location.provider = "manual"
I also tried to get just redshift working as a service, as a stepping stone to making redshift-gtk work, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything, even though it is running as a process. However, I can run redshit -O 3000
to make it tint my screen, and redshift -x
to reset.
Also, geoclue2 is running as a service, I checked.
Here is the output of ps aux | grep redshift
ken 1398 0.0 0.0 380020 6952 ? Ssl 12:18 0:00 /nix/store/vc6r59fpsbxwl94py60kl10zkmc2bpkj-redshift-1.12/bin/redshift -l geoclue2 -t 3000 3300 -b 1 1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the relevant config broken out into a module.
{
config,
pkgs,
lib,
...
}: {
options = {
redshift.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "Enables redshift and redshift-gtk";
};
config = lib.mkIf config.redshift.enable {
services.redshift = {
enable = true;
temperature = {
day = 6500;
night = 3300;
};
};
location = {
#provider = "geoclue2";
provider = "manual";
latitude = 44.0;
longitude = -80.0;
};
services.geoclue2.appConfig.redshift.isAllowed = true;
# services.geoclue2.appConfig.redshift-gtk.isAllowed = true;
# services.geoclue2.appConfig.redshift-gtk.isSystem = true;
services.geoclue2.enable = true;
};
}
