Night Mode not working 18.04
Night Mode not working in ubuntu 18.04 even after enable from settings. Help me. This problem appeared 2-3 days ago. Before that it was working fine. I tried to install redshit & f.lux as well but didn't help.
debsums:
debsums: changed file /usr/share/mysql-workbench/data/main_menu.xml (from mysql-workbench-data package)
debsums: changed file /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html (from nginx-common package)

You have THREE apps trying to control screen gamma... Night Light, redshift, and f.lux. Don't do that. Remove the last two. Update to 18.04.1, reboot, and recheck Night Light operation.

debsums looks good. Try this, to eliminate a system vs user problem. Create a new account called "Guest" (or whatever), log out of your normal account, and into the Guest account. See if Night Light works there. If it does, then there's something in your account directory that's causing the problem. Report back.

Start dconf
, and search for night-light
, and see if your settings look somewhat similar to this...
Update #1:
Creating a new user account, and logging in there, shows that Night Light works fine. So something is wrong in the original user's account directory.
Update #2:
Renaming .config to .config.HOLD, logging out, logging in, made the desktop icons return, and Night Light worked again. Something is wrong in the .config.HOLD folder.
Compress .config.HOLD to a zip file, just for backup purposes. Then move the new .config out to the desktop. Rename .config.HOLD to .config. Move a few INDIVIDUAL files from the desktop .config folder into the .config folder, replacing files when prompted. Do a few. Log out. Log in and retest desktop icons and Night Light. Repeat until it all works.
Yeah, it's similar. But it works in another account.

This is in addition to @heynnema's answer.
In my case, I simply removed the /home/<username>/.config/dconf
folder (You can simply rename it for backup, it contained a single file named 'user'). Then log out and log back in.
Alternatively, use this command to rename the folder:
mv ~/.config/dconf ~/.config/dconf.$(date +%s)
Nothing was broken when I renamed the folder. It was automatically recreated. And there were no noticeable undesired changes.

It might have been because you would have changed the "Scheduled Timings" in your Night Light settings and it seems like it doesn't work. You can go change the timings manually and then check.
Also, if you find it a little bothersome to turn it ON & OFF from the settings through the mouse, you can simply make a keyboard shortcut to Toggle Night Light on and Off very easily.
To make things easier, I've written a shellscript to do just that. It works well, and I always use that shortcut to Toggle. Anyone can set it up too! It's easy !!

You have THREE apps trying to control screen gamma... Night Light, redshift, and f.lux. Don't do that. Remove the last two. Update to 18.04.1, reboot, and recheck Night Light operation.

debsums looks good. Try this, to eliminate a system vs user problem. Create a new account called "Guest" (or whatever), log out of your normal account, and into the Guest account. See if Night Light works there. If it does, then there's something in your account directory that's causing the problem. Report back.
