colord issue? on xfce 03 January 2021, 17:53:18 Hi all, struggling to get color management working on xfce. Color Profiles in Settings Manager is non-functional. I installed xiccd from AUR and it's in /etc/xdg/autostart but still no joy. Quote$ colormgrNo connection to colord: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.ColorManager: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1Quote$ sudo rc-update add colord default * rc-update: service `colord' does not existReinstalled colord, logged out, rebooted, still not working.Quote$ pamac info colordName : colordVersion : 1.4.5-1Description : System daemon for managing color devicesURL : https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colordLicenses : GPL2Repository : worldInstalled Size : 7.4 MBDepends On : lcms2 libgusb polkit sqlite dconf dbus libgudev shared-mime-info udevOptional Dependencies: argyllcms: color profiling [Installed] colord-sane: SANE supportMake Dependencies : gobject-introspection vala sane bash-completion argyllcms git meson gtk-doc docbook-xslRequired By : colord-gtk gtk3 xfce4-settings xiccdReplaces : shared-color-profilesPackager : Artix Build Bot <[email protected]>Build Date : 11/04/2020Install Date : 01/01/2021Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package Any help is much appreciated
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #1 – 03 January 2021, 21:21:20 Hi Artist, any love is good love, thanks for moving this thread. That said, I did read somewhere that this was a known xfce issue.There's some help at the Arch wiki, but it's all systemd related. I was on Manjaro previously and color management in xfce worked.I haven't found any info yet suggesting this is openrc related. Please enlighten me if you can.cheers
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #2 – 04 January 2021, 01:30:55 Here's the xfce page updated almost 5 months ago and acting like it works:https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/colorQuoteDisplay profiles don't work out of the box in Xfce (yet), you need a daemon like xiccd for them to work.
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #3 – 04 January 2021, 01:32:27 see Code: [Select] pacman -Ss colord. i see here no colord-openrc, so we actually provide no openrc script for colord (only for s6 init).
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #4 – 04 January 2021, 01:43:58 but good news for you, systemd start only /usr/lib/colord and/or /usr/lib/colord-session. So you can start it on start your DE or maybe @ndowens will write a openrc script for this service
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #5 – 04 January 2021, 02:00:05 Hi and thanks! Can you please clarify how to start colord service? I'm on openrc, both colord and colord-session are in /usr/lib/
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #6 – 04 January 2021, 02:09:56 Just start this /usr/lib/colord at start your xfce... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xfce#Autostart
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #7 – 04 January 2021, 02:47:16 Thanks again. I had added colord already, reboot, but it still wasn't running. Added colord-session, reboot and now they're both running.
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #8 – 04 January 2021, 02:53:57 Color Profiles in Settings Manager is still dead. colormgr seems to be happy, but can't find any devices.Basically, I want to use an ICC for my wide-gamut RGB monitor to edit photos with consistent color in darktable, gimp, rawtherapee and geeqie.Any idea how to get the Color Profiles page working?
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #9 – 04 January 2021, 03:04:28 Got it! xiccd gets started but no process running until I call it on the terminal ?? Then the Color Profiles page works.I think I forgot something when I built it from AUR.
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #10 – 04 January 2021, 03:41:36 So for this to run out of the box we need xiccd and colord-openrc service script?cheers

Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #12 – 04 January 2021, 09:28:06 if you not use any another program, you need xiccd for load ICC profiles, as wrote here:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ICC_profiles#Loading_ICC_profilescolord-openrc is in our repo, so now must works it for you too. 1 Likes
Re: colord issue? on xfce Reply #13 – 05 January 2021, 05:15:48 Excellent! Thanks again. Can we get xiccd out of AUR too please?I found after installing yay and reinstalling xiccd and adding it to Settings Manager>Session and Startup that ~/.config/autostart/xiccd.desktop contained only the entry "Hidden=false" so I copied the data from colord.desktop and modified it for xiccdQuote$ cat .config/autostart/xiccd.desktop [Desktop Entry]Encoding=UTF-8Version=0.3.0-1Type=DaemonName=xiccdComment=AUR daemonExec=/usr/bin/xiccdOnlyShowIn=XFCE;RunHook=0StartupNotify=falseTerminal=falseHidden=false cheers Last Edit: 05 January 2021, 05:27:13 by mahto 1 Likes
