I've installed the fluxgui package from Killian Valkhof's PPA () and started the applet by pressing alt+f2 and typing in fluxgui.
The inidcator icon shows up and I've entered my latitude/longitude, but my screen colors aren't changing. The applet fails to open its preferences dialogue as well.
What gives? Any solutions?

Having the same problems with f.lux and there doesn't seem to be any fix for this right now.
But Redshift seems to work fine on Ubuntu 12.04.
gtk-redshift in Ubuntu Software Centre
I got f.lux working by downloading the xflux daemon available from . I cannot get the GUI panel to open but can configure xflux via the command line and the f.lux icon says it is active.
