I installed redshift from pacman on my xfce How do I verify its working I can see it running in my processes but how do I verify it?
Is there a command I can run to see if its active?

Run redshift-gtk in a terminal and see if you get a system try icon to control Redshift.
When i do this my screen flickers kinda like redshift is going off and on
try to check logs journalctl -xe | grep redshift
You may need to configure it?
Please refer to the link I posted for how-to.
yes he needs to configure it
so let me see if I get this >< excuse my awkwardness
pacman -S redshift to install
then use
redshift -l LATITUDE:LONGITUDE to set the location
should get it going?
So ill uninstall and try it again how will I know its running after this ?
You don’t need to uninstall it.
Create a file (if there is not already one) ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf and add to it:
[redshift]
location-provider=manual
[manual]
lat=xxxx
lon=yyyy
Put in the relevant values for xxxx and yyyy. If the file is already there, just edit it according to your preferences.
Then start the user service:
systemctl --user enable now redshift.service
Check its status:
systemctl --user status redshift.service
For an example of redshift.conf, see:

I believe that flashing can happen if you happen to have more than 1 instance of redshift running. Ensure you don’t have some hanging around.
