Description

LM Version: 22.1

Night Light in Linux Mint Cinnamon is behaving inconsistently. Sometimes after booting the computer, Night Light does not work at all. It doesn't activate automatically, and manually turning it on in Night Light settings has no effect. The entire feature seems broken during these sessions — there is no change in screen color, and it behaves as if Night Light is completely disabled, even though it's enabled.

Rebooting sometimes fixes it, but the issue returns randomly.
