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.
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.
Your latitude is
Your night-time color temperature is 3400
Going to background: 'kill 14987' to turn off.
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.
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>
