A safe alternative would be to use X11 instead of Wayland when using Redshift. If nothing else works, some users report that Redshift is working on Wayland but as far as I know, Wayland is not officially supported and other people report crashes and glitches. This related answer (may be outdated for Wayland users)Ī similar answer using Gnome Color Manager (basically follows the same process using a different GUI) Search for 'color profile manager' to find the app.įurthermore, there are command line tools like xrandr that allow you to adjust color manually although I think this doesn't work with Wayland so you'll probably have to use this particular solution on non-wayland sessions (X11) only (google how to select between wayland or x11 for ubuntu). This is similar but the GUI is slightly different. You can also use/install the gnome color manager from the gnome software center. As for calibration, automatic calibration (clicking on the calibration button) may not be available on certain screens (I think mostly LCD screens?). You can read more detailed information at the Ubuntu help pages. If you don't notice a change, try a different profile. The profile will switch automatically and you should notice a change in the look immediately. Also, google your hardware and color profiles for 'Ubuntu' or 'Linux' to see if others have tested this out already. You can read more about that here but you'll have to try them out to be sure.

For my particular monitor, D50, D55, and D65 work well aside from the default profile. Many of these profiles will not change the look of the screen. Here, there are dozens of profiles to choose from.Īfter you select a profile, click on the profile listed under the device and then click View Details to view details on the profile. Then, click on your device and at the bottom of the settings window, click on 'Add Profile'. First, Go to System Settings and under Hardware, click on Color.
