Is this open source?

Same as Jack and David…
I’m on ubuntu12.04. I thought it was due to number errors (comma vs dot) but even with full numbers – no dice…

Really nice application, i work with the computer all day and this really makes it much easier on my eyes. I have it installed on my linux machine and my windows machine, the program works flawlessly on both platforms.

I’m having the same problem as Jack Vermicelli. I can get the color to change manually by opening the gui and clicking “preview” (though sometimes this requires me to close it and restart). But the color never changes on its own. Any way to fix?

It seems like f.lux only updates my screen’s color temp when I open the gui and click “preview”- it never changes on its own. How can I fix this?

For those of you having the “ValueError: could not find setting” problem as I was on ubuntu 11.04, the solution is this:

download the source from git: https://github.com/Kilian/f.lux-indicator-applet/zipball/master

unzip it

replace the file /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/fluxgui/fluxgui.py with the one from the zip file: src/fluxgui/fluxgui.py

(you will need to use sudo to overwrite the installed file)

Works a treat after that (at least it did for me with the December 2011 sources from Git).

I have installed the version by following your instructions. But when it’s night, nothing happens. I have this in my windows, it works nicely, but in ubuntu 10.04, I am having problem.
The indicator applet shows, but when I run it or click the Preview button, nothing happens. Again, it’s also not working, it’s just showing the icon. Because when it’s night, nothing changes. Please reply me.

I have recently switched to Kubuntu from Ubuntu Oneiric, and I hope development is in the works to get f.lux working on our platform. This is a really great program, thank you, Kilian and Michael.
