I have noticed that
redshift
does not work anymore on my machine with Linux Mint 21.3. I am sure that about half a year ago it was still working (that could be under Linux Mint 21.2 though). Trying to debug this, I found out that the problem must be with geoclue
:
$ redshift
Trying location provider `geoclue2'...
Using provider `geoclue2'.
Could not connect to wayland display, exiting.
Failed to start adjustment method wayland.
Trying next method...
Using method `randr'.
Waiting for initial location to become available...
^Cpoll: Interrupted system call
Unable to get location from provider.
(I do not know why it talks about wayland, it is not a wayland session.)
Executing /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i
from geoclue-2-demo
package just times out after a while without any output or error. (Sometimes it did produce some error message about something missing IIRC, but I could not reproduce it reliably.)
Here is the status of geoclue.service
:
$ systemctl status geoclue.service | cat

Googling "geoclue.service Failed to query location Not Found" did not return anything relevant on the top of the search results.
I have the same problem (at least it looks the same) under LMDE 6 (Linux Mint Debian Edition).
Any help will be appreciated.
