This issue began when I was trying to run redshift-gtk. I installed the program manually and it runs fine via just redshift, but I want it to run with the indicator. I always get the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/redshift-gtk", line 26, in <module>
from redshift_gtk.statusicon import run
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/redshift_gtk/statusicon.py", line 30, in <module>
import gi
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
I do think this is more of a general problem rather than redshift-specific. I already have the necessary pre-requisites installed:
python3-gi is already the newest version (3.36.0-1)
python3-gi-cairo is already the newest version (3.36.0-1).
gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is already the newest version (3.24.20-0ubuntu1)
I've tried executing locate python3-gi and here's the result:
/snap/gnome-3-28-1804/128/usr/share/doc/python3-gi
/snap/gnome-3-28-1804/128/usr/share/doc/python3-gi-cairo
/snap/gnome-3-28-1804/128/usr/share/doc/python3-gi/changelog.Debian.gz

/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-gi.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-gi.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-gi.prerm
So I have no idea why I am having a "No module named 'gi'" error. I also have python-gobject installed:
python-gobject is already the newest version (3.34.0+2.28.6-14ubuntu1)
Here's my current linux version:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
What could be wrong here?
At first you should know that RedShift is packaged in all Ubuntu versions.
To remove locally installed stuff use:
sudo python3.8 -m pip uninstall redshift-gtk
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/redshift
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/redshift-gtk
So you can simply install RedShift from repository with:
sudo apt-get install redshift redshift-gtk
