GNOME Night Light Setting from the Command Line












4














How do I turn the GNOME night light on or off from the command line? I've got the command gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled but don't know what flag/argument/whatever to put on the end of it.



gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled ON
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled TRUE
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled YES PLEASE


None of those work.

          to turn on:



          gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled true


          to turn off:



          gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled false


          to schedule on time, here I want to schedule night light from 23:06 hrs (that is 06/60=0.1):



          gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-from 23.1


          to schedule off time, I want to schedule night light off at 23:25 hrs (that is 25/60=0.416666666):



          gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-to 23.416666666


          you can also set the night light temperature which will increase and decrease the brightness, 4000 is the default value for Ubuntu 18.04, you can try different values for example 2000, 3000, 5000, 6000, 10000 and set the preferred ones:



          gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature 4000


          Edit:

          to get the current values for above commands, run the below commands



          gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled 
          gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-from
          gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-to
          gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature


          Example:



          $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-enabled
          false
          $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-from
          23.1
          $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-schedule-to
          23.416666666000001
          $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature
          uint32 1000
