Hi, the other bug suggests a fix is coming in package systemd-rpm-macros. However on my system (affected by the redshift problem) I do not have this package installed. Does this mean a separate fix needs to be found for this bug? Thanks.

The fix for this particular issue (default status of user services) is actually in the systemd package itself, see https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/610240 which is in Factory/Tumbleweed but will have missed getting into the released Leap 15.0. I am not sure if an online update is planned/necessary, perhaps Franck can answer that. Until then, the fix is to ensure the user service is disabled while the plasma widget is running, as you already spotted. systemctl --global disable redshift.service systemctl --user disable redshift.service -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes it's planned to be fixed on Leap as well and it will be released on the next update. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi - can you please confirm precisely this work-around? I've tried disabling & stopping the user service but by doing this both the user and global service seem to stop and the redshift widget then does nothing (i.e. redshift seems to be permanently switched off):

Considering redshift and similar technologies are becoming increasingly popular then if Leap 15 won't receive the root cause fix it makes sense to me that users are given a solid work-around until the next release of Leap. Thanks.

Franck has confirmed the update for systemd will be released for Leap 15.0. Once that is out, a reinstall (or any new installs) of redshift will start disabled. The plasma widget you have installed runs its own instance of redshift. Therefore (user AND global) systemd redshift services should be disabled when the widget is installed. Try restarting once the services are disabled and then check the widget functionality. If the widget is now failing to start redshift, that may be a different bug; it was working as of your original report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not to worry as I've rebooted and the redshift widget not only switches on and off correctly, but when on it no longer flickers.

That'll do me for now and I'll re-install redshift when the systemd update arrives to test the final fix.

Great, thanks. For clarification to anyone else reading: systemctl --user disable redshift.service is to be run as your/every user and sudo systemctl --global disable redshift.service is to be run as root. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
