I e-mailed the author months ago about a bug where the glibc command-line version would stay alive and peg to 100% CPU usage after logout. It seems to have never been fixed. Any chance you could ping him about that?
It's probably all in my head, but I'm going with it for now ;)

I wasn't able to find this in the old build, but the current one definitely has the bug. Let me know how it works.
I use f.lux backwards. I leave it on normally, but when I need to wake up to re-focus and get stuff done (and it's dark out), I turn it off, and I feel more awake again. It's probably all in my head, but I'm going with it for now ;)
One of the greatest features of f.lux for me is that I actually start feeling more tired after it kicks in, so it really does encourage me to get to bed earlier.
Although waking up in the morning to find your beautiful late design is bright cyan is a bit of a shocker sometimes.
That's awesome!! Thank you! I just gave up my Windows machine for Ubuntu and F.lux was one of the things I missed most. Is there a .deb I can download directly? I don't think I can add new repositories on my work computer.
before (last 100 chars): we only support 24/32-bit displays right now. XF86VidModeGetGammaRampSize returned 2048 entries.
xflux does the same. It's a new laptop - i7 in 64bit mode, so I don't know if that's at fault. I loved xflux on the old (32bit, nvidia) laptop, though.
Redshift as mentioned by paulsmith works great.

Redshift is nice. But, the colours in xflux feel better. Nothing quantifiable though.
I spent a little bit of time a few months ago trying to dump the gamma tables to compare. Only accomplished reminding myself why I hate low-level X.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
f.lux works as advertised. Love it. Use it. Highly recommend it. More so, now that is has nice GUI and all. The fact that it is closed source should not be a problem unless you are RMS!
The fact that it is closed source should not be a problem unless you are RMS! um, or unless you use an operating system or architecture for which they don't build a binary, so you can't use it no matter how well it works as advertised.
Your argument in the present context is exactly what I was referring to when I mentioned RMS!
Also, f.lux does work as advertised on the OSs that it is available for.
