How do I clear the cache created by running apt-file update?
Also, is there a way to see how much space the cache is currently using?
I just installed Ubuntu (version 18.04.03). I noticed that blue is being rendered as purple. Further that this only happens on some applications. In GIMP (image editor) the color rgb(0,0,255) renders as the expected blue. However in the following apps, the same image appears purple:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Image Viewer
- Probably other apps, haven't tested all
In these applications, the image renders correctly:
- GIMP
- File Browser
- Sublime Text
- Probably other apps, haven't tested all
In this previous question, the culprit was "Night Light" mode. However on my computer this is off. Enabling it turns the screen distinctly orange-ish.
The fact that blue renders correctly on GIMP (an image editor where color fidelity is important), leads me to believe it has something to do with a setting similar to Night Light mode...
How can I turn off whatever "feature" is causing this color change?
Update:
Here are some photos. It is hard to capture with a camera, but the Image Viewer (left) renders the blue test image distinctly purple, whereas GIMP (right) does not.
Also interesting is that the GIMP render remains the same shade of blue regardless of the viewing angle. Whereas the Image Viewer's shade of purple changes with the viewing angle. Looking down at the screen from the top, it is a distinct purple. Whereas looking up at the screen from the bottom, the purple almost looks like the blue it is supposed to be.
The moire pattern observed in the Image Viewer is not visible to the eye. However, maybe it is related to the color change depending on viewing angle effect...

I am trying to setup Bochs as shown in this tutorial. However, I'm using WSL and there is no loop0 device.
# bochsrc.txt #
megs: 32
romimage: file=/usr/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
vgaromimage: /usr/share/bochs/VGABIOS-elpin-2.40
floppya: 1_44=/dev/loop0, status=inserted
boot: a
log: bochsout.txt
mouse: enabled=0
clock: sync=realtime
cpu: ips=500000
# update_image.sh #
sudo losetup /dev/loop0 floppy.img
sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
sudo cp src/kernel /mnt/kernel
sudo umount /dev/loop0
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
# run_bochs.sh #
# mounts the correct loopback device, runs bochs, then unmounts
sudo losetup /dev/loop0 floppy.img
sudo bochs -f bochsrc.txt
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
Available devices are:
- block
- fd
- kmsg
- lxss
- null
- ptmx
- pts
- stdin
- stdout
- stderr
- shm
- tty[x]
- zero
Is there any way I can tweak the above code to work with an available device?
