Install F.lux on OpenSUSE (Flux for Linux)

1. Download the flux package from f.lux website.
2. Unzip the folder and copy the xflux file into documents folder.

3. go to the directory where xflux is located. Open terminal and type the following command:
sudo cp xflux /usr/bin/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/xflux
xflux -z 88001    (here 88001 is the zip code for Las Cruces, NM)
4. You'll get the following message:

--------
Welcome to xflux (f.lux for X)
This will only work if you're running X on console.


Found 1 screen.
Your location (lat, long) is 32.4, -106.9

Your night-time color temperature is 3400
It's night time. Your screen is changing now.
Going to background: 'kill 4649' to turn off.


Now, you're all done. You can see the changes on your screen.

  1. I followed this instructions on OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 and it worked very well, just replaced the -z parameter by -l and -g (latitude/longitude), as I'm not in US. Thanks you.
