Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed gammastep on my Lenovo T61 to test it.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I used the gammastep-indicator program in the XFCE panel to examine the "Info" from gammastep.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

It reported incorrect information. E.g. location 0.0, 0,0. I am not in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Correct information, as reported by "gammastep -p -v". E.g. lat and long of my current location.

More information:

I cloned, built and installed the upstream latest and greatest from gitlab (https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep). It ran successfully, and gammastep reported correct information, but gammastep-indicator failed as above.

I do not see a similar issue on the upstream issue tracker (https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/issues?page=2&scope=all&state=all).

Hi Charles,

Unfortunately, I use sway, a Wayland compositor, where the indicator
does not appear at all. Would you mind raising this issue upstream?

I would be happy to upload experimental packages for you if you can
figure out what is wrong.

Kind regards,
Felix Lechner

Done. https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/issues/31

You might also report your problem as well, probably to the Wayland
compositor folks.

I seem to be using XFCE's internal compositor. You might give that a
try.

Thanks. I can just clone their repo and let you know if we have any
successes. Then you might build some experimental packages. Or you can
monitor the discussion there.
