[Bug 1757068] Re: Night light brakes when screen dims
Phew, thankfully every so often I was able to access the command line with Ctrl + Alt + F2 without it flashing back to the boot messages (maybe once every twenty times) and then removed the flag from the .desktop file. Took me a couple of hours as it was really erratic behaviour. (The recovery mode didn't help either, same flashing between bootup commands and black screen.) I won't try that flag again! Any other way I can provide a useful log? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757068 Title: Night light brakes when screen dims To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1757068/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi Sebastien I added `--debug` to the Exec line in org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color.desktop but now I get stuck on this when booting up: started hold until boot process finishes up. Could that be related?

hum, when you write "nightlight is deactivated" you mean it's on but get deactivated by the dimming? or is it off? would it be possible to get a debug log from gnome-settings-daemon (by editing the org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Color.desktop Exec entry and adding --debug for example and then getting the journal log)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757068 Title: Night light brakes when screen dims To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1757068/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1757068] Re: Night light brakes when screen dims
Okay I just did some more testing on only my built-in laptop display. It is not the "dim screen when inactive" setting that breaks the night light, that works fine, the screen is dimmed at once, and the night light is still active. What breaks the night light is the progressive dimming of the screen brightness that directly precedes the blanking of the screen when the "blank screen" setting is on (i.e. not set to "never"). When the night light is "broken" by the pre-blanking progressive dimming, it does not re-activate either when stopping the process by moving the mouse, nor when turning the display on again after the screen was blanked. To re-activate the night light, we have to go to the Night Light settings / widget and turn it off and on again. Still on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 derivative, with all packages up to date (bionic-security + bionic-updates). Hopefully that makes it clearer, and @jesse111 can confirm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757068 Title: Night light brakes when screen dims To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1757068/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Testing on 18.10, the screen dimming doesn't impact the coloring. Do you use an external screen?

Just adding to my previous comment #4: the external monitor behaviour is inconsistent.

[Bug 1757068] Re: Night light brakes when screen dims
I believe I have the same issue. I originally reported it as the current duplicate Bug #1791659. The issue is as described here: the night light mode turns off as the screen starts dimming right before it blanks. The mode then needs to be turned off and on to work again. If I have an external monitor connected, as "join monitors", the external monitor is the one that loses the night light, whereas the built-in display still has it. The workaround around this is unplugging and plugging the screen back in.
