[Solved]What happened to my background/desktop? ( lemmy.world )

After an update I noticed discover was this weird yellow color, I opened settings and noticed it too was yellow, thinking it was some bug, I restarted PC, now everything is yellow. I tried inverting colors but that is something completely different. I'm not even sure what was updated to cause this....

My background isn't yellow, it's mountains with a blue sky.

I believe this might be an issue with an app called redshift that automatically comes with mint, it uses geoclue2 which relies on Mozilla Location Service which got shut down like 2 weeks ago. Maybe it malfunctioned that even uninstalling it doesn't help

Old image but this is how it uses to look like, not sure how it's based off of background

Was yellow with x11 plasma and cinnamon except cinnamon on Wayland was normal, I tried switching to lightdm and it was giving me errors.

I found someone had same issue a day before on mint forums. Apparently it was a graphics driver from oibaf ppa.

I forgot I had timeshift setup monthly (changed it to weekly), so I restored it and everything looks fine. I didn't lose anything because I was so busy that I only had energy to played Factorio after work which are steam cloud synced.

Your message actually helped me find a post of mint forums who had the same problem the day before it happened to me, was a graphics driver from oibaf ppa.

No option on plasma 5 that I could find, I learned that it was a graphics driver that updated and caused all this, thankfully I had automatic backups setup.

Didn't try different user (since i don't have any other), it was on boot menu and both x11 cinnamon and kde plasma, wasn't on the experimental cinnamon on Wayland tho.

Turned everything cursed white, instead of beautiful blue like it should be.

Never used redshift only to see what the heck it was.

I will be honest I didn't know much about kde as only had experience with gnome and cinnamon, when plasma 6 dropped I decided to look into it, and ended up liking it a lot more than cinnamon.. Didn't feel like setting up/downloading things again when distro hopping so I back ported kde from kubuntu.

It work none the less, I'm at a stage in my life I rather have stability rather then bleeding edge, I used to enjoy fixing things, till issues started happening when I really needed to work, instead of spending hours fixing wifi drivers.

Only reason I had oibaf drivers was because I was once trying to get game scope to fix a bug with mouse controls on war thunder for Linux. Was dependency issue hell, so after 2 hours I ended uninstalling it and not trying the game.

Been a few years so I don’t have the link, but I bet you can find this (or something similar) online. If all else fails, I hoard all the files I used somewhere on my nas.
