sct temperature check

[lavinnyv]

does anyone know a command to check what the sct is set at?

Hi @lavinnyv .

README.md say:

If xsct is called without parameters, the current display temperature and brightness are estimated.

[lavinnyv]

i've been using sct for years. and i thought that i was in the git for sct - faf0/sct - but i should move to xsct and try this.

[lavinnyv]

i tried xsct. i downloaded the deb package from debian, because sudo apt-get install xsct/sudo apt install xsct didn't work for me.

@lavinnyv , was your issue resolved?

[lavinnyv]

it did. i had to download a .deb package and install manually. is there no way to sudo apt-install xsct? it's fine to install with the deb, but when i set up a computer, i sudo apt install a long list of things, so i was just hoping to add xsct to the list and take out sct, which does install with apt.

is there no way to sudo apt-install xsct?

There is, but it depends on the version of Debian you are running. You can get an overview of the current state in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xsct. Details for Debian bookworm and sid are available from https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/xsct and https://packages.debian.org/sid/xsct, respectively.
