Title: [SOLVED] colord not starting
Post by: xqtha2276 on 22 August 2020, 02:29:40
Hey, how do you get colord running on Artix-s6?
I installed colord, its dependencies, and colord-s6. Yet, the daemon doesn't seem to fully fire up or something.
When I search for "colord" in KSysGuard, the results are two instances of "s6-supervise".
So, s6 is trying to do something with colord. However, when I run "colormgr" in the terminal, I get:

[No connection to colord: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.ColorManager: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1]

Any ideas?
I just want to install a previously made monitor callibration profle  .icc file. If there's a way I can mess with that besides using colord for now, I'm all ears.

Did you run s6-rc -u change colord? The daemon starts for me.

I did not. Thanks, it started fine with that.
For future reference for when I might install other daemons, is "s6-rc -u change [insert name of daemon]" the typical way to get them started? Or are they usually started automatically after install / after reboot- colord being an exception to the rule?

Yup. Check the wiki entry (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/S6#Basic_usage) for some more details.
