Trying to tweak Redshift. Redshift was showing the colour temperature as 'OK' not very helpful and location as '0.0.0.' No discernible 'redness' on the display. No 'redshift.conf' in home directory. Tried to tweak and got the following errors. Any suggestions welcome.

Trying location provider geoclue2'... Using provider geoclue2'.
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
Could not connect to wayland display, exiting.
Failed to start adjustment method wayland.

You don't need RedShift as Zorin has it's own equivalent:

Thank you for your reply. I have the Xfce desktop and this does not appear to have this night light feature.

Also I understand that from 12 Jun this year Mozilla shut down their geo location services.

nixos/geoclue2: not working because Mozilla Location Service is retiring

If I'm mistaken please advise.

Thanks.

Try to set a schedule manually, in which case the geolocation service becomes irrelevantl; does this work at all?

Sorry, my bad. I should have noticed you were running Zorin Lite. Looks like the only alternative to redshift is sct:

Thanks. SCT works fine. I'll use that on a per session basis.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try that
