Night light turns off when I open terminal

Snoober

Whenever I open a new terminal, night light turns off. Anyway to fix this?

I also use guake. If I exit guake terminal (by the exit command, not hide with hotkey), then the night light also turns off. My assumption is this is because guake starts a new terminal in the background (for when you "unhide" it with the hotkey) but I'm not sure.

Hmm, can't reproduce that on my PC atm. Do you have anything in your .bashrc, .profile, etc. that manipulates the display?

Staudey yes, there's the problem. but now I will need a new solution:

I have nvidia-settings --load-config-only in my .bashrc. This is because without this, every boot I have to open nvidia X server settings and toggle "allow flipping" on and back off again. If I don't do this, then I don't get 165Hz refresh rate. The nvidia-settings --load-config-only does this for me on boot. Also note that when I open nvidia X server settings GUI it will disable my night light. So every time I open bash it runs the nvidia server settings and disables my night light.

Maybe I could put that line in .profile instead of .bashrc? I will try.

EDIT: works! just moved that line to .profile

thanks!

That should work IMO, but I'm not an expert ^^

edit: Ah, just saw your update. Glad to see it's solved!
