Support for Ubuntu 15.04?

[kodeine]

I tried to install on 15.04 but it couldnt get it from ppa. Any help would be appreciated.

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kilian/f.lux/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

[jalcine]

He'd have to bump Launchpad to generate sources for Vivid. Mind doing so @Kilian? If not, setting up a team on Launchpad could help in letting others help out.

[Kilian]

I could but that would be a false promise; The code as it stand doesn't work nicely with 15.04 and would need to be updated or rewritten.

[jalcine]

Hmm. There's a fork I've been using that works not only on 15.04 but on KDE as well. I've debated rolling that into a PPA, but @Kilian, a lot more people use this and follow your PPA. I wouldn't want to split that away.

[kodeine]

@Kilian is right, i installed on my ubuntu 15.04 and my system crashed. blank screen after reboot.

[jalcine]

@kodeine Is this something that happens only on 15.04 or did it occur in 14.10 as well?

[kodeine]

@jalcine
only on 15.04.
14.xx was working fine.

Interesting (I asked because I saw an open issue about problems on 14.10).

Mystro256/f.lux-indicator-applet or my repo work on Ubuntu 15.04. My guess is the old xflux binary was causing problems.

[jalcine]

Awesome. This will help me out a lot.

Is there any that works with 15.10?

My fork should work, untested though.

[str]

@NHellFire do you have a ppa?

[andypost]

I'm using old deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kilian/f.lux/ubuntu trusty main in 15.10
just replaced binaries from https://justgetflux.com/linux.html xflux64.tgz
it works fine in previous 15.04 as well

[dvorapa]

@andypost 👍

[noirscape]

@str @andypost @dvorapa I have a ppa available, I just copied the packages from Kilian's old repository. It works up to wily.

https://launchpad.net/~blackmage/+archive/ubuntu/f.lux

Or if you would rather want the command served to you do this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blackmage/f.lux; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y fluxgui

[dvorapa]

@ev1l0rd not working 👎

[cjduncana]

@dvorapa Which PPA do you say does not work? Kilian or Blackmage? Kilian is still down for me, but Blackmage still works as expected.

[dvorapa]

@cjduncana For me both (Kilian and Blackmage) not working (U 15.10 64bit). But @andypost solution works

[NHellFire]

I've made a PPA for my packages now: ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux

https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewaldock/+archive/ubuntu/flux

My package is working on 15.04 and should work on others (I've got builds for 12.04 to 16.04)

[ntc2]

@NHellFire: on 15.10, I think your package needs a python-glade2 dependency. Before installing that, I got

 fluxgui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/fluxgui/fluxapp.py", line 6, in <module>
    import gtk.glade
ImportError: No module named glade

[ntc2]

@NHellFire: and on 15.04 I had different problems. First, I was getting

$ fluxgui                                
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fluxgui", line 19, in <module>
    import fluxgui
ImportError: No module named fluxgui

Looking in /usr/share/pyshared/fluxgui, I saw there was no __init__.py file, so I did

$ sudo touch /usr/share/pyshared/fluxgui/__init__.py
$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/pyshared/fluxgui/__init__.py

and then fluxgui worked.

However, looking at my 15.10 machine, I see there is no __init__.py file there either, so I don't know why I needed to add one on the 15.04 machine.

[NHellFire]

I've uploaded a new package adding python-glade2 as a dependency. As for
init.py, it seems it gets left out the binary package because it's empty

Re the __init__.py, I see on my 15.04 system that for example the iotop
package installed an empty __init__.py file. Looking at the contents of
the iotop .deb package (using apt-get download iotop; mkdir iotop-dir; dpkg-deb -R iotop*.deb iotop-dir), I can't find any special treatment for
the empty file. However, I think you're saying that the file gets left out
of your package during the creation of the .deb.

Oh, and it looks like you also added an __init__.py to your package this
morning! I did aptitude update; aptitude purge fluxgui; rm -rf /usr/share/pyshared/fluxgui; aptitude install fluxgui, which got me your
new package with your new __init__.py. However, I'm still getting

$ fluxgui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fluxgui", line 19, in <module>
    import fluxgui
ImportError: No module named fluxgui

If I cd to /usr/share/pyshared, or export PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pyshared:$PYTHONPATH then running fluxgui works,
but I have no idea why the __init__.py is not sufficient now???

One thing I notice is that all of the other Python packages I have that
installed files in /usr/share/pyshared actually load from other
directories:

I don't know anything about Python packaging on Debian, but this could be
relevant.

@NHellFire:

(Sorry about the terrible formatting on the last message, but I can't figure out how to make GitHub not interpret the Python >>> prompts as me quoting a previous message.)

I figured out why you adding the __init__.py file to your package did not solve the problem for me: before adding a __init__.py file myself yesterday, I had first added /usr/share/pyshared to my PYTHONPATH to the shell is was using to install your package. When that did not fix the problem, I eventually noticed that the __init__.py file was missing, but at that point I had forgotten about changing my PYTHONPATH. Today, I was using different shell to install the new version of your package, so I no longer had /usr/share/pyshared on my PYTHONPATH. Sorry about the confusion.

So, the second problem is that /usr/share/pyshared isn't on the default Python path:

$ unset PYTHONPATH; python -c 'from __future__ import print_function; import sys; map(lambda p: print(repr(p)), sys.path)' 
''
'/usr/lib/python2.7'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload'
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0'
'/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7'
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client'

Indeed, as I mentioned in my last message above, all of the other packages I have installed in /usr/share/pyshared load from somewhere else, either /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages or /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7. Looking at the Debian Python Packaging Policy, it seems that /usr/share/pyshared may not be supported anymore:

When binary packages ship identical source code for multiple Python versions, for instance /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/foo.py and /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/foo.py, these should point to a common file. Version specific directories for identical source code are not required for python3 and must not be used for this. Since python2.7 is the last python2 version and the only supported version in wheezy and later releases, a common location to share arch-independent files across Python versions is no longer needed. Historically the location for this was /usr/share/pyshared. For python2.7, use of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages is sufficient. For python3, a special location is not required, use /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

So, I think the solution is to install the fluxgui package under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. Looking at packages.ubuntu.com, I see that even the oldest supported version of Ubuntu, 12.04LTS, has Python 2.7 as the default Python. The iotop package installs in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages by symlinking from /usr/share/pyshared:

$ dpkg -L iotop | grep '\.py' | xargs ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1559 May 26  2013 /usr/share/pyshared/iotop/vmstat.py

but I expect that you can do away with /usr/share/pyshared all together and just install into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages directly (although I don't have a 12.04 system to test this hypothesis on).

[NHellFire]

I'm not specifying an install directory, it uses debhelper (which is the
preferred way) so it goes in the correct directories.
I've figured out the problem anyway, I was missing the debhelper token from
the postinst script, so it wasn't inserting the commands to add it to the
actual module dir. Uploading a new package now to fix that.

This issue is a duplicate of #23

@ev1l0rd your ppa worked for me (15.10)
The gui won't show yet though...

[ntc2]

@cm-s: I recently ran into a "GUI won't show" bug:

• details: applet fails to launch silently #66 (comment)
• fix: Workaround applet crash due to bad config (#66) #71.

Is this what you ran into?

[drewklassen]

@NHellFire Many thanks for this. (Running on 15.10 - MATE)

[tinof]

@NHellFire while trying to install from your ppa (Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME), I get this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fluxgui : Depends: python-support (>= 0.90.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Edit: To fix this, download and install: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/109052632/python-support_1.0.15_all.deb

Many thanks for making it possible for me to have a better sleep quality with a few key strokes

[drewklassen]

Would anyone happen to have suggestions for flux pegging my CPU at 100%? This is not occasionally; the CPU is max'd anytime flux is active.

I am running Ubuntu-MATE 15.10 x64 fully updated. Cheers

[NHellFire]

@tinof Thanks, it looks like python-support was dropped in favour of dh-python since I uploaded that package. I'll upload a new build in a few days to deal with that. If I haven't done it by Friday, could you remind me? I might forget with everything I've got going on next week.

[dvorapa]

@tinof Yeah, that's the same error I got on my 15.10

[HustLion]

@NHellFire thanks. With you ppa I get it working. For others who might have the same question, the steps needed to get f.lux working is:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fluxgui

And then press super key ( I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) and type flux and you will see f.lux indicator applet. Launch it and click on the Find your latitude and longitude button, then type back in the data to f.lux. I don't know if f.lux start working once you type the data in, but for me, after typing in the longitude value, in the input box I pressed enter and then f.lux start working.

I think the windows version is much more intuitive than this linux version. Maye later someone could improve the linux version. Anyway, thanks guys this is working now.

And for me there is no python issue. Maybe it's because I've already installed python tools before. So if anyone run into python issues, please refer above.
