Error when running gtk-redshift

rated 0 times [ 12] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2966 / 2 Years ago, fri, october 7, 2022, 1:11:37

I'm getting this error when I run gtk-redshift from the CLI (it just doesn't start if I start it from the GUI):

(process:3862): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed

If I run redshift, I also get the same error as above, followed by this:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm running redshift version 1.7 and Xubuntu 12.10.

You may need create a config file to avoid the crash..

Create a file named redshift.conf and save it into ~/.config/redshift.conf. Here you have an example to create the config file:

; Global settings

[redshift]

temp-day=5700

temp-night=3500

transition=1

gamma=0.8:0.7:0.8

location-provider=manual

adjustment-method=vidmode



; The location provider and adjustment method settings

; are in their own sections.

[manual]

lat=-34.6

lon=-58.3



;screen

[vidmode]

screen=0

To know the coordinates for your city you can use itouchmap. Just search for your place and write down the numbers.

eg: My city Buenos Aires is lat=-34.6 and lon=-58.3

Once you have created the redshift.conf file, run the application and see if it works. You can find additional information about commands, config file, values on the Redshift website...
