Description: A new feature in Xfce 4.14 is the ability to use color profiles with colord. This adds xfce4-color-settings to package xfce4-settings.
There are three optional dependencies to use this feature (see Xfce wiki page https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/4.14/color ), quote:
- cupsd: For printers
- saned: For scanners
- xiccd (etc): For displays
Additional info:
- Pre-4.14 release article mentioning these requirements: https://simon.shimmerproject.org/2019/02/19/color-profile-support-for-xfce/
- package version(s)
- xfce4-settings 4.14.1-1
- cupsd (cups 2.2.12-1 in Extra)
- saned (sane 1.0.27-2 in Extra)
- xiccd (available as xiccd 0.3.0-1 in AUR)
-
config and/or log files etc. N/A
-
link to upstream bug report, if any N/A
Steps to reproduce:
- Install/upgrade to xfce4-settings 4.14.1-1.
- Open Settings > Color Profiles OR run xfce4-color-settings in terminal
- Color Profiles reports 'no devices found'
- Install xiccd
- Laptop monitor is detected!
I did try colord-gtk initially before xiccd. It did not work for me to get my laptop monitor recognized, but there could be config requirements I missed. I would rather not install colord-kde with all its KDE dependencies to test it.
I do not and will not be using the color profiles feature. I just ran into this when trying to help someone in #xfce.
