Thank you Curt, that answers my original question and solves all of my issues. Now my Night Light is working at the right times and I did not have to turn on Location Services. The dconf-editor is also really nice to know about. thanks again.

I live in Colombia, I don't know if somehow ISPs here have a more detailed (precise location) database based on IP, or if that is possible at all. Is there any way I could check to see exactly where Gnome Maps is getting the location from? What is the default geolocation service installed by Gnome or Debian? thank you,

Autocomplete and shortcuts slow in Terminal
hello, I have recently fresh installed Buster on my laptop. I am noticing that autocomplete (Tab) in my Terminal (Gnome Terminal) is a second slower than usual. When I push the Tab key it takes a bit longer than usual, usually it is hard to notice any delay between the stroke and the autocomplete or response from the Terminal. Can anyone guide me in finding out what is causing this?? Is some kind of data not being cached correctly? thank you,

Gnome Terminal beeps and lags
hello, In my new Buster installation, when I switch to the Gnome Terminal and quickly want to write a command, the terminal lags and then beeps (the bell that sounds when you reach an interaction point), when it should not be beeping (becuase I have not typed anything that would elicit a bell), then it lags for a second and executes the command successfully. I believe this only happens sometimes but am not sure what is triggering the issue. Can anyone please guide me in the direction of solving this issue? thank you, Anil
Re: Zoom conferencing
Hello Nazar, I have installed the flatpak with the latest version. I am running Debian 10 and Gnome. When trying to share the screen a message comes up saying that screen sharing is only available in Gnome on Wayland on Debian 9+,, and screen sharing does not start. I am baffled by this. Did you install this from the flatpak?? thank you, Anil On Tue, 2020-03-03 at 06:41 +0100, Nazar Zhuk wrote: > On 2020-02-29 23:08, Joel Rees wrote: > > (I hope no one gets upset about double posting debian and ubuntu > > users > > lists.) > > > > Questions about zoom --www.zoom.us > > > > Anyone using it? > > > > Issues? > > > > Known reasons they don't put it in the general repositories? > > > > As others have pointed out, it's proprietary and will never be in > Debian and there are superior open-source alternatives. > > If the choice is not yours though, there is a flatpak for it: > https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom.

installing with Flatpak
hello, I would like to ask if there are any drawbacks in installing software using Flatpak. As far as I understand, this installation method installs packages in an isolated way (whatever that means). I would imagine this would require more disk space. But will performance of the software be affected when running it this way? thank you,
Night light, sunset and sunrise times in Gnome
hello, I am running Gnome in Debian Buster, which comes with the Night Light feature. I have set up night light in the Sunset/Sunrise setting. I have also correcly set my timezone (location?). My issue is, sunset is coming and Night Light is gettin activated way after this time. I would like to ask how I can know where the program is getting my location's sunset time from? Is there a way for me to check this? thank you,

Manual or Sunset/Sunrise in Night light settings. If I choose Sunset/Sunrise, I believe, the system is supposed to get the Sunset/Sunrise times from some server online, based on some location (I pressume this location is that of my time zone, however, I belive one time zone can have different locations with different Sunset times). That is why I am asking if there is some way I can know how the program is getting its Sunset/Sunrise times. Or if maybe I have to activate the Location service for this to work (if that is the case, there should be some warning about this). I do remember that Redshift used to require that you set a location in order to have the automatic sunset/sunrise times working. > I have found that Night Light is activated very gradually.

The issue is that the change is starting to happen a bit (about an hour) later than it should. thank you..

That is precisely what I would like to know. I believe this Gnome Night Light is based on Redshift, but its hard to get info on Gnome programs. So I need to know what is wrong, my location, my clock, or the calculation of Sunset/Sunrise. thank you,

If the Location Services need to be toggled on. I imagine most of the people on this list are not using Gnome.

You can install it via flatpak, which might make you feel better. I tried jitsi some time ago, I think that will require a bit more setup for sure.
