How to enable Night Light on the uConsole?

I’m on a CM5 Trixie and in the settings it says “unavailable” because of the driver. So I wonder if it’s me, Trixie or uConsole in general?

I had no idea that I am so used to yellowish tint on all my screens lol

If you want other people to take the time out of their days to answer your question, you should take the time out of your day to ask a question with enough details that it is answerable. Assume the people viewing your post have never met you, are not psychic, and would not break into your home and use your computer.

  • What is “Night Light”?
  • What is “a CM5 Trixie”? Are you referring to Debian Trixie on a Compute Module 5? Please share the output of uname -a.
  • To what “settings” are you referring?
  • What exactly does this error say?

Assuming you want a “yellowish tint” on your screen and are so used to one specific method of achieving this that you haven’t tried other means, here are some options:

  • Use a yellow film atop the screen in order to achieve the desired look without spending electricity on it.
  • On X.org, use xsct(1) to set the color temperature in X to a specified Kelvin. I haven’t personally used this. This could be done automatically by putting the desired command line in xinit(1).
  • On Wayland there seems to be a similar tool called wl-gammarelay. It looks complicated but if you give it some gumption it’ll probably work.
