Is this the reason budgie night light does not autostart?

brent

is it geoclue?

sudo systemctl status geoclue.service
○ geoclue.service - Location Lookup Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/geoclue.service; static)
    Drop-In: /usr/lib64/systemd/system/service.d
             └─10-timeout-abort.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)

I mean I don't use google services or personalized anything etc so I usually leave this turned off.

I have nightlight set for 24 hr coverage. 5am to 5 am. 5am to 4:59am. I've tried every permutation with failure...

but if geolocation is the reason my night light does not autostart....
then how come geolocation is not a dep or rundep for:
budgie-desktop budgie-desktop-settings gnome-control-center?

thanks

OK, I've ruled out geoclue, it's irrelevant.

The manual setting negates needing it.

So...how do I get budgie night light to launch every time I boot up?

edit:
anyone have an autostart command?
or do I have to write some cron confthingy?
or append a .conf?
or append a .service?

OK I'm not crazy:
MANUAL budgie night light settings was never meant to work automatically.

(at least according to ubu github and budgie boards; one, to wit: https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/1817)

followed by:

Now my question is changed to "is this 2019 information from Josh still correct?"
Or can budgie night light be made to auto launch in manual mode now?

brent I would recommend asking the Budgie devs yourselves. https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/discussions or their dedicated Matrix space.

ReillyBrogan I will head over there, thank you.

ReillyBrogan filed at BoB as a request (since I have no idea if autostarting nightlight is feasible per this thread) so will check back and mark solved when I get a response. Dig it.

Joshua kindly responded to me. The answer is no, not yet, but in the works. Thanks, I marked solved.
