Redshift help

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:
