Public bug reported: I downloaded the Kubuntu Noble daily ISO test image version 20240328.1 from iso.qa.ubuntu.com and booted it on my laptop. I noticed that clicking "Utilities > Redshift" in the application menu had no obvious effect.
When I (later) ran it from the terminal, it produced the following output (location redacted): $ redshift-qt "Using provider `geoclue2'." "Solar elevations: day above 3.0, night below -6.0" "Temperatures: 6500K at day, 4500K at night" "Brightness: 1.00:1.00" "Gamma (Daytime): 1.000, 1.000, 1.000" "Gamma (Night): 1.000, 1.000, 1.000" "Using method `randr'." "Location: **.** S, ***.** E" "Color temperature: 6500K" "Brightness: 1.00" "Status: Enabled" "Period: Night" "Color temperature: 4500K" "Location: **.** S, ***.** E" It adjusted the screen color and continued to run, it didn't exit. I eventually noticed that it does make a notification icon. It's a daemon with a spurious or incorrect .desktop file. The functionality appears to duplicate and conflict with the "night color" feature in plasma-workspace. If I understand it correctly, the main problem is that kubuntu-desktop recommends redshift-qt, so it gets installed in the ISO. This package should not be installed. ** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060186 Title: Live USB session has non-functional menu item "Redshift" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/2060186/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
