Topic: Blue light fliter

Hi people,


First of all, I hope that all of you are having a good time of Christmas holidays.

I have noticed lately a substantial decrease of my vision capacity. I think all is due to the fact that during the previous year I have been an inusual large amount of hours in front computer monitors.

I am trying to find some some blue light fliter to see if that can help me reduce the problem for the future.

I found references over the Internet to some programs but I canot find any of them within the Hyperbola repositories.

Does anyone know about any similar program available to us in Hyperbola?



Thanks to all in advance for your help.

Do you mean you need something that will change the blue light to orange?? Like night display light that is available on windows 10 for example??

What I mean is that I am looking for a program similar to Redshift within the Hyperbola repositories.


Does anyone know if such an alternative exists?

Re: Blue light fliter

Ok, so I do not like this way but intending to give, at least temporarily, some relief to my eye strain problem, I tried to install the Redshift package from the Parabola repositories.

I tried to install the version without geoclue2 support (nonprism). Unfortunately, I cannot uninstall unless I decide to remove the your-freedom package (which I am not willing to remove).



pc@localhost:~/Downloads$ sudo pacman -U redshift-1.12-2.nonprism1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
[sudo] password for pc:

looking for conflicting packages...
:: redshift and your-freedom are in conflict. Remove your-freedom? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: redshift and your-freedom are in conflict



Any ideas, guys?

Re: Blue light fliter

Save the following as "PKGBUILD"

# Maintainer (Arch): Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@archlinux.org>
# Contributor (Arch): Geoffrey Teale <tealeg@stop-squark>
# Contributor (Arch): Mark, Huo Mian <markhuomian[at]gmail[dot]com>
# Contributor (Arch): Biginoz <biginoz a free dot fr>
# Contributor (Arch): Mattias Andrée <`base64 -d`(bWFhbmRyZWUK)@member.fsf.org>
# Maintainer: André Silva <emulatorman@hyperbola.info>

pkgname=redshift-custom
pkgname2=redshift
pkgver=1.12
pkgrel=2.nonprism1
pkgdesc='Adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings, without geoclue2 support'
arch=('i686' 'x86_64' 'armv7h')
url='http://jonls.dk/redshift/'
license=('GPL3')
depends=('libdrm' 'libxcb' 'libxxf86vm')
optdepends=('python-gobject: for redshift-gtk'
            'python-xdg: for redshift-gtk'
            'gtk3: for redshift-gtk')
makedepends=('intltool' 'python')
source=("https://github.com/jonls/${pkgname2}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/${pkgname2}-${pkgver}.tar.xz")
sha256sums=('d2f8c5300e3ce2a84fe6584d2f1483aa9eadc668ab1951b2c2b8a03ece3a22ba')

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname2}-${pkgver}"

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-drm --enable-randr --enable-vidmode
  make
}
package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname2}-${pkgver}"
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

Open a terminal and execute makepkg in the directory where you saved the PKGBUILD.

Example :

anon@user [~/Downloads] makepkg -si

It will compile it and install it automatically.
I edited the pkgbuild so it doesn't include systemd crap or geoclue. And also renamed the package to redshift-custom to avoid your-freedom block.
Since there is no geoclue, you will need to input latitude/longitude manually to make it work.

Example :
If you execute it with a terminal :

redshift -l 17.584034:3.319443

If using the gtk applet, edit the applet so it is launched it with coordinates :

redshift-gtk -l 17.584034:3.319443

Use https://getlatlong.net/ for example to find lat/long for your address.

I have just checked what packages conflict with your-freedom if the dependencies needed to build redshift are on the list but i couldn't find anything

Well i am sorry for your eyes strain problem hmm. I used to have acer laptop and the screen from it felt like it's baking my eyes... I have librebooted thinkpad T500 now and is not as bad...
But i know how it's like when you want to use your computer but your eyes won't let you...

I hope somebody is going to help you soon with this.


No worries, dude. I seriously appreciate that you tried to help.

Strange, "makepkg -si" should install the dependencies though.
Looking at the log :

checking for libdrm... no
checking for xxf86vm... no
checking for xcb... no

So, install them :

pacman -S libdrm libxcb libxxf86vm

and probably, you also need base-devel : 

pacman -S base-devel

it will install everything needed to compile packages.

And try again. smile

Thanks, man.


It looks like the libdrm, libxcb and libxxf86vm packages were already in place. Installing base-devel did the trick.

Redshift working now. I must admit that I already notice a positive difference with reference to my sight.


I am sincerely grateful to you.

Yeah, you were right from the beginning.

Although are there any ways to use eaasier command than writing all these numbers??

If you find it easier, the gtk applet should give you some basic interface to use Redshift without writting commands in the terminal.

Are these numbers related to the density of the orange light??

No, those are the latitude and longitude of your geographical position. Those coordinates are necessary in order to allow Redshift to adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to surrounding light at your location.

The "density" that you mean is the color temperature. You can try 

redshift -h

for more information:

The neutral temperature is 6500K. Using this value will not change the color
temperature of the display. Setting the color temperature to a value higher
than this results in more blue light, and setting a lower value will result in
more red light.

Default values:

  Daytime temperature: 6500K
  Night temperature: 4500K


To me the program is useful. I just miss the possibility of setting the red filter permanently. I tried: 

 redshift -O

but not working.

Sorry, it was late at night so I think I did not explain myself well enough.

I did not want to mean that 

 redshift -0 TEMP

did not work but that it just worked for a few moments and not permanently.

Nevertheless, time after, I realised that the reason for which the command did not work was that I had already a filter set up when I tried to change to another one.

So, if this happen to any of you, the trick is simple: you just need to reset the filter that have already placed and try again: 

pc@localhost:~$ redshift -x
pc@localhost:~$ redshift -O 2500

That will keep the color temperature that you have chosen for your screen (in my case 2500) for as long as your current sesion lasts. That means that the temperature will not change throughout the hours of the day to adjust itself to the estimated degree of daylight at your location.

Still, every time you decide to start a new sesion, the filter will need to be set up again.

Re: Blue light fliter

Try this for redshift, and you don't need geoclue at all.

Although you do need to enter a latitude or longitude... but it doesnt have to be exact, wink
