@DmitrySandalov Thank you, started working! 👍

@DmitrySandalov thank you your answer worked for me.

I have tried to install f.lux on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and received this error:

fluxgui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fluxgui/fluxapp.py", line 3, in <module>
    from fluxgui import fluxcontroller, settings
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fluxgui/settings.py", line 3, in <module>
    from xdg.DesktopEntry import DesktopEntry
ImportError: No module named xdg.DesktopEntry

I am quite new to Ubuntu and have no idea what to make of this. I have already tried the additional packages and fixes mentioned above.

Thanks in advance for your support.

sudo apt-get install python-xdg

Thanks @ferstar works on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. With mine it was the permissions issues

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fluxgui/fluxapp.py", line 3, in <module>
    from fluxgui import fluxcontroller, settings

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fluxgui/xfluxcontroller.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pexpect
ImportError: No module named pexpect

I've tried with the different solutions postes in this post but it is still not working...

@ferstar recommendation worked perfectly:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xflux

I installed f.lux in Ubuntu14.04, using:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/flux
$ sudo apt-get update
$suod apt-get install fluxgui
and then, I started it by
$ fluxgui.
error came up as
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fluxgui", line 17, in
from fluxgui.fluxapp import main
ImportError: cannot import name main"
Any advice to deal with it?
