Gammastep not working about sway-de HOT 3 CLOSED

I've tested gammastep again and it seems to work.

For gammastep-indicator: If you're using waybar you need to start waybar with the env variable XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity and install the package libappindicator-gtk3 (Arch). I think the debian package name is libappindicator3-1.
For the env variable you can take a look at my waybar systemd unit.

And I'm starting gammaste-indicator with the following parameters:

/usr/bin/gammastep-indicator -l ${RS_LAT}:${RS_LON} -m wayland -t ${RS_DAY}:${RS_NIGHT}

An explanation for the variables is in the readme.

It's also important to start gammastep with "-m wayland".

The gammastep-indicator can be automatically started if you paste the comand into your sway config, prepending it with "exec".

exec /usr/bin/gammastep-indicator -l ${RS_LAT}:${RS_LON} -m wayland -t ${RS_DAY}:${RS_NIGHT}

from sway-de.

It's a known issue. I had debugged it in the past but wasn't able to resolve it. Maybe I try it again next week and collect my findings in this issue. There were some problems visible via dmesg but I can't remember

from sway-de.

Thanks you!

I eventually got gammastep itself to work like this:

bindsym $mod+Shift+b exec pkill -USR1 gammastep || gammastep -O 2000

However, it might be a bit buggy still.
Moreover, I am still unable to add gammastep-indicator to my notification area.

Note: I am very new to Sway and never used i3 so I might not be doing this correctly

Since this might be a real issue, here are some more details:

Operating System

 =>> cat /etc/*release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"

Sway Version

 =>> sway -v
sway version v1.5

Gammastep Version

=>> gammastep -V
gammastep 2.0.2

Gammastep works when I run this command

gammastep -O 2200 2>/dev/null &

If you there is something you can think about that you want me to provide, just let me know

from sway-de.
