Xfce - Color Profiles not working / colord service crashing (OpenRC)

I`m trying to get the Color Profiles tool to work but it shows "no devices found".
xiccd, colord and colord-openrc are already installed, and service is enabled.

 $ colormgr get-devices returns

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

And $ sudo rc-service colord status returns

* status: crashed.

I came across some other forum entries regarding colord connection issues but nothing about this "crashed" service status. Any suggestions?

Can't reproduce here, in 2 boxes:
Code: [Select]
# rc-service colord status
 * status: started

Using $ sudo rc-status will return the same status as well (found some posts about rc-status and rc-service returning inconsistent status)
Code: [Select]
colord                                                            [  crashed  ]

Not sure what I might be missing here

Check if /run/colord.pid exists. Run colord from the terminal as root without arguments.
