I am using Xubuntu 16.04

In Ubuntu there is the option to enable night mode from Display in Gnome Control Center

In my Xubuntu I have installed Gnome Control Center

But over there the Display option shows

Could not get Screen Information

So how can I enable night mode in my Xubuntu?

    The following instructions will not enable gnomes night mode. But will allow a nearly indistinguishable effect.

    Install redshift

    sudo apt-get install redshift redshift-gtk

    Edit GeoClue's config

    sudo nano /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf

    Append the following lines to /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf 

    [redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=

    Configure redshift

    Example of a manual config, for Copenhagen, Denmark. See Redshift homepage for an additional config example. Comment out or change the latitude and longitude for you location.
    nano ~/.config/redshift.conf

    [redshift]
temp-day=6500
temp-night=3700
location-provider=manual

[manual]
lat=55.7
lon=12.6
