Redshift not working

Help
1

The following is what I have in my configuration file, but Redshift is not working. I have yet to get a color temp manager thing working like this in nixos.

services.redshift = {
enable = true;
brightness = {
day = “1”;
night = “1”;
};
temperature = {
day = 5500;
night = 3200;
};

location = {
provider = “manual”;
latitude = xx.xx;
longitude = -xx.xx;
};

Needs more info. What does the journal for the service show? What DE/WM/compositor are you using? Etc.

What desktop environment or window manager are you running? Would you be running Wayland or X11? Redshift does not work in Wayland.

If Wayland, there are some alternatives to try:

  1. gammastep - this has a home-manager module too
  2. wl-gammarelay-rs along with wl-gammarelay-applet
  3. wl-gammactl

ran journalctl -u redshift.service

got back
– No entries –

I’m running x11, so nothing you wrote is relevant for me. It states that wayland doesn’t work elsewhere on the web.

You’ll want to do journalctl --user -u redshift.service probably to get some hints.
