Description František Zatloukal 2015-11-26 00:34:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
Redshift doesn't work in Gnome Wayland Session at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redshift-1.10-4
mutter-3.18.2-1
gnome-shell-3.18.3-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Redshift
2. Start Gnome Wayland Session

Actual results:
Redshift has no effect at all.

Expected results:
Redshift should "move" screen colors to red.

Additional info:
Testing should be done during night since Redshift has no visible effect during day.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Gnome bug (request for a built-in similar feature)

I can confirm that redshift does not work on wayland session on Fedora 24
upstream bug : https://github.com/jonls/redshift/issues/55
Comment 5 Steven Gruspier 2016-08-21 00:31:45 UTC 
Still see that it does not work still as of today. So in this case, where do we go from here for a change? Wayland developers? Redshift developers? Gnome developers?

I would suggest bugging the GNOME developers, as IIRC it needs to be implemented via the compositor to work. Also, I would doubt they would put it as an API in Wayland, but the GNOME dev's probably have more leverage to get this done.

Ah found a request for it here (for those interested):

redshift is now broken by default in F25 due to this issue.  Thankfully, unbreaking it by disabling Wayland is really easy (just uncomment the WayLandEnable line in /etc/gdm/custom.conf).

No, that's not a nice solution. Much easier is to simply pick Xorg as your session type. See e.g. the picture at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs#Wayland_issues .

This bug should be moved to version 25. Or at least been considered as FutureFeature in Rawhide.
Comment 11 Jeremy Newton 2016-11-29 17:58:57 UTC 
For anyone interested, I made a COPR to work around the issue for now:

Comment 12 Vasco Rodrigues 2016-11-29 22:21:16 UTC 
Thank you Jeremy, works fine. Hope changes get accepted into the gnome-settings-daemon. So it can become an official extension for Gnome shell.
Comment 13 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 09:50:57 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 14 Jeremy Newton 2017-03-01 21:21:33 UTC 
Note that the "nightlight" function landed in Gnome 3.23 a little while ago, which should be in rawhide. I have not tested this myself, but AFAIK, this should provide this functionality.
Comment 15 Jan Pokorný [poki] 2017-04-19 14:56:21 UTC 
See also [bug 1443620].
Comment 16 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2017-08-04 19:22:05 UTC 
Nightlight works nicely under gnome-wayland in F26. If there are any issues with that, it should be tracked in new bugs.
