#14250 users saying the lightbulb at their house is working, so it must be a configuration error. Suggest looking at the output of lgtconfig -v to debug.
They are probably using "systemd-lightd", so the right command would be "lightctl status".
An additional 68 to argue about systemd and pulseaudio.

#143Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not so funny with modern IoT, maybe firmware upgrade is needed or restart wireless router :)
People used to laugh that "reboot your phone/car" was humorous, now "reboot your lightbulb" is a real action that has to be taken at times.
Sometimes you need to factory reset your lightbulb which is a simple process
Quoted from https://support.gelighting.com/hc/en-us/articles/36001580519...
Bulb Reset Sequence:
We recommend counting with Mississippi (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, etc.).
Start with your bulb off for at least 5 seconds.
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2 seconds
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2 seconds
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2 seconds
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2 seconds
Turn on for 8 seconds
Turn off for 2 seconds
Turn on
TIP: If the factory reset above was unsuccessful, you might have an older version of the C by GE bulb. Please follow the instructions below to reset.

Be aware you need to pass: lightctl --user --room # command Per room session otherwise you'll control all the lighting and annoy other users.
Single-user deployments are fairly common in the gnu lightblub crowd.

#145I remember back in the old days there was a whole stack of this sort of joke. It started with "How many electrical engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?" "We'll fix the problem in software!" "How many software engineers does it take to change..." All the way through to "How many Microsoft executives does it take to change a lightbulb?" "Darkness. The new standard from Microsoft!" Bonus points for those who co…
How many hardware guys does it take to change a light bulb?
"Well the diagnostics say it's fine buddy, so it's a software problem."
Re: How many GNU/Linux users are needed to change a light bulb?
#146The lightbulb never gets changed. It's still there buried under layers and layers of improvements meant to work around the limitations of the dead lighbulb including several other partially finished lightbulbs and an array of mirrors to try and cast some light around the room. The last time someone tried to go in and actually remove the lightbulb, they were lost and never returned. Legends say they're still there trying to wrestle the bulb out from underneath everything.

#147We don't need to change it. Just work together and it'll come back on.
After all, "many hands make light work."

#148> 1 to remind everyone that the right name is GNU/Lightbulb it still cracks me up everytime I read it :D
This part got me. Would also add 1 user to say light is free as in speech and 1 to argue it’s free as in beer.
Or maybe, 1 to argue light is free as in wave _and_ free as in particle.

You may laugh, but as a teenager I rode around on a 1965 Bonneville.
He wasn't called the Prince of Darkness for nothing.
