LXer: RedshiftGUI Protects Your Eyes When Working At Night

linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Published at LXer: At first it was F.lux. Then came Redshift (inspired by F.lux) which also got a GTK version but only for switching it on/off. And now, a Redshift fork called RedshiftGUI finally brings a GUI for customizing everything. But what are these? All the applications mentioned above serve only one purpose: to change the color temperature of your screen by the time of day, making it easy for your eyes. This is achieved by entering your location and then Redshift (in the case of this post: RedshiftGUI) takes care of the rest. (HowTos)

Redshift is an interesting program that adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings.And the most important is this may help your eyes hurt less if you’re long time working in front of the screen,especially at night.

Getting RedShift To Work 1 year 21 weeks ago

The ideal setup would be for Redshift to start on boot up, and I think I have that part working. The problem is that there is something wrong that causes redshift to not calculate the day/night correctly on my machine.So to start...#ran at 8:27pm Central Standard Time

[noahc@breadbox ~]$ date Tue Dec 27 20:27:51 CST 2011This appears to be correct.

I can get redshift to start with modification to xdm-archlinux configuration scripts, but everytime I log out of the window manager a redshift stays in memory, and when it again runs xdm-archlinux, another redshift starts in tandem.  I wish there was a better way to control redshift so that after logging into the window manager/desktop environment, it will close the old redshift and start the

In ~/.profile I run a script in the background (redshift for changing the screen temperature at night time).

After logging in, I can open a terminal, and run tmux.

However, at this point, redshift visibly get interrupted as the screen temperature resets and it seems that redshift starts again in this terminal.

What's happening here?

Redshift 是一个有意思的小程序，它能根据你的环境来调节电脑屏幕的色温。如果你长时间坐在电脑前盯住屏幕，那么使用 Redshift 可使你的眼睛免受更大的伤害。

I have a problem running a program called Redshift. When I open it it closes immediately. Here is the error when I try to run it from the terminal:

$ redshift

I have put redshift in startup applications and it will not start on boot.

Hapyrus has launched FlyData, technology that enables it to automatically upload and migrate data to Amazon Redshift, the data-warehouse service that can scale to petabyte size. Amazon has claimed that Redshift will increase the speed of query performance when analyzing any size data set, using the same SQL-based business intelligence tools analysts use today.
