My system is Artix (runit) with KDE Plasma. I installed Epson Printer Utility from AUR via Octopi, but when I start it from CLI, I am getting:
TaczankaTurbo:[petros]:~$ epson-printer-utility
(epson-printer-utility:13981): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:31:47.239: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

Communication daemon down, Error code = -1
My guess is that it has something to do with the ecbd service that should be running. However, I have no ideaa, how to start it here.
TaczankaTurbo:[petros]:~$ sv status ecbd
fail: ecbd: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
I run several searches, also here, to no avail.
Please kindly advise.
I think AUR package doesn't have runit service file. Did you try to run ecbd directly? Like
sudo /opt/epson-printer-utility/lib/epson-backend/ecbd
And then run epson-printer-utility.
Error are generated as you have no gtk-themes installed, or better gtk-engines

Probably the gui tool is using gtk and it needs some files that the packager thinks are installed by default, but this is not true.
