Comment 19 for bug 888661

@Mélodie,

I am referring to this particular bug/issue, which I had reported in 2011 and which _is_ about starting redshift outside of an X session.

I have not closed the bug.

But this bug is really just about that redshift should not segfault, if started outside of X.

As stated earlier, your main problem appears to be the missing dependency (which is another bug), which you have worked around already.

Your current problem might be that it just does not show up in Ubuntu's app indicator (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/redshift/+bug/1188961).

Instead of building the upstream source, please just try to use the latest .deb from Ubuntu. It works at least for me in Ubuntu Saucy.

Also, please try to find existing bug reports for your remaining issue(s) and provide additional information there.
