Help in installing Flux.tgz on 11.2

Gentlemen, I used to use Flux software on Windows. It is a piece of software that automatically changes the screen blueness to Pink at night time according to the time of sunset. Both my wife and myself find it very beneficial for our eyes .
I managed to get it to work on Puppy Linux and would like to get it on Suse . I DL it but after unpacking it thats as far as I could go.
As always any and all help is greatly appreciated.

:F.lux: software to make your life better

Added: MY screen saver keeps cutting in after about ten minutes and when I try to adjust it, it refuses. Is anyone else having this?

Hi
Just put the unpacked file in the bin directory of your user home. The
you could create a launcher or just run from the command line;


xflux -z <zip code>

Malcolm, thanks for your reply. I have copied it to the bin as per your instruction. But it doesn’t boot. Can you explain how to create a launcher? I remember when I used it on Puppy it took a fair bit of playing around to get it to boot.It has something funny about it? Several guys on the Puppy forum tried and couldn’t get it to boot. I did after following their instruction and believe it worked by a combination of their instructions and good luck! In Windows it boots auto depending on the time of sunset. I had to boot it manually on Puppy.
cheers,
Eddie

Hi
When I ran it here it worked fine… What desktop are you using?

If you open a terminal session and run the command do you see;


--------
Welcome to xflux (f.lux for X)
This will only work if you're running X on console.

Hi, KDE4 . I just this minute came from the Puppy forum and read my threads there. It does take a bit of playing with but obviously you have found an easy way.

Hi
So if you open a konsole and run the command, does it work or do you
get an error?

eddie@linux-1z0o:~> cd bin
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin> ls
xflux
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin> xflux -z 55.0n
If ‘xflux’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf xflux
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin> cnf xflux
xflux: command not found
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin>
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin/xflux> cnf xflux
xflux: command not found
eddie@linux-1z0o:~/bin/xflux>

I think I’m doing something wrong.

Got it. ./xflux 55.0N

Now I need to figure out how to make it work Auto.

Many thanks for your help.
Cheers
Eddie

Hi
You don’t need to be in the bin directory to run, just your home else
you would need to add the ./

You just need to add the full path eg /home/eddie/bin/xflux
