The actual default ImageMagick package in Debian (and so in Ubuntu, too I bet) seems to be broken. It changes contrast/gamma without any reason (before and after a simple „convert test.png test2.png“).
In xplanetFX it gets visible through „thin“, grey and less clouds.
Compiling the package from source doesn’t change anything because the error seems to be located in imagemagick-common (which is much more complicated to build).
If you are on Debian the most simple fix is to add the experimental repositories temporarily and install the package from there:
- Add deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main to your sources.list
- execute sudo apt-get update
- execute sudo apt-get -t experimental install imagemagick
- remove or comment (#) the deb line again
- execute sudo apt-get update once more
- ???
- PROFIT!

Thank you very much!! You're doing an essential job for the development of open source software! The following points aren't meant as dogmas but as a clue, decide for yourself what you think could be useful in troubleshooting.
- Please...
- ...state name and version of your operating system / desktop environment
- ...state the version of the program you're using
- ...be detailed in what is happening and what you expected to happen
- ...try to provide some deeper information (like xplanetFX logs or the output of the program when started in a terminal window)
- ...speak to me as a human being, don't think I'm a bot.
Herzlichen Dank!! Fehlerberichte sind essentiell für die Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software! Die folgenden Punkte sind keine Dogmen, sondern sollen eher Anhaltspunkte darstellen; entscheide selbst, ob sie für die Fehlersuche hilfreich sein könnten.
- Bitte...
- ...nenne den Namen und die Version Deines Betriebssystems / Deiner Desktopumgebung
- ...nenne die Version des von Dir benutzten Programms
- ...beschreibe möglichst genau, was passiert und was Du erwartest, was passieren sollte
- ...stelle möglichst tiefergehende Informationen zur Verfügung (xplanetFX Logs oder die Ausgabe des Programms im Terminalfenster)
- ...sprich mit mir, wie mit einem Menschen, ich bin kein Automat.
