Where is Color Profiles?

Jerry3904 · 2019-08-26 22:22:56

I give up. There's a great Help file but where is the app itself? We have 4.14 Final running, but it does not show up in Settings.

Color my profile...confused.

Jerry, have you installed "xiccd?"
https://github.com/agalakhov/xiccd

According to the Help page, it works with your color settings that come with your distro:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/using.html

I can find it in Settings > Hardware > Color Profiles, in Ubuntu 18.04 with the Xubuntu-dev staging PPA.

It comes with the updated xfce4-settings package and the binary is /usr/bin/xfce4-color-settings.

Thanks, but the problem is not the helper app but the colors app itself.

. Thanks--we are apparently missing a package then.

EDIT: hmmm, don't see it on that page.

EDIT2: also don't see it in the Xfce GIT repo

OK, we backported xfce4-settings from Debian Sid. It contains the missing package and now we have it in Settings. Not sure what happened there, but glad to see it fixed--that's what betas are good for!

It's not a separate package, it's a binary provided with xfce4-settings. See how it shows in Synaptic: Color profiles in Xfce Settings

On preview: I see you've fixed it already, great!

Actually it seems to need gnome-color-manager:

https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-setting … af5d43951f

Edit: and maybe it even needs to have some build option, because I have xfce4-settings 4.14.1 (the brand new version) here in Fedora 30 and I get this:

$ rpm -ql xfce4-settings|grep bin
/usr/bin/xfce4-accessibility-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-appearance-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-display-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-find-cursor
/usr/bin/xfce4-keyboard-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-mime-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-mouse-settings
/usr/bin/xfce4-settings-editor
/usr/bin/xfce4-settings-manager
/usr/bin/xfsettingsd

I'm thinking it's colord as a build dependency: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-setting … 3951f#n161.

Does anyone have a build log available for where the color settings app is not being built?

Simon's answer in the Fedora xfce mailing list¹:

Hi,
yes, colord support needs to be enabled at build time.
No, you don't need gnome-color-manager for that (show-up in the GUI), you need something like
xiccd for monitor profiles, saned for scanners and cupsd for printers.
g-c-m is merely suggested for showing additional profile information
(gcm-viewer) and for an optional calibrate button in the UI (gcm-calibrate).
Cheers
Simon

Just to confirm.

checking for optional package colord >= 1.0.2... not found

...and:

* colord support: no
