[Jérémy Lal]

Hi,

night light mode stopped working (automatic and manual modes),
since a recent mutter/shell update.

Nothing odd in the user logs.

Dear Maintainer,

Even after upgrading mutter to 43.0.2, the Night Light panel under
Display settings says,

"Night Light Unavailable

This could be the result of the graphics driver being used, or the desktop being used remotely"

I have an AMD graphics card and Night Light used to work on this system
until one of the updates in the past broke it, as described in the
original report.

You should file a new bug since your specific issue may not be the
same as the original issue.

I know that there is a bug where gnome-control-center says that Night
Light is Unavailable but it may actually work.

Thank you,
