XFCE displaycal-apply-profiles

[Anonymous]

I created an .icc profile using DisplayCAL, but I am struggling to loading it on startup.
I am on Arch Linux using XFCE, my NEC EX241UN @ 0,0 is connected to my laptop using a DisplayCable.
argyllcms 2.0.0-1

I am seeing a few errors:

[user@x230 ~]$ displaycal-apply-profiles

[user@x230 ~]$ xprop -display :0.0 -len 14 -root _ICC_PROFILE
 _ICC_PROFILE: not found.

Once I start DisplayCAL and install the created profile system wide , I get the following colord error:

ArgyIICMS: OK
colord: The profile has been imported. You may need to manually activate it under Color system settings.
Profile loader: OK

Nevertheless, the profile is now loaded:

[user@x230 ~]$ xprop -display :0.0 -len 14 -root _ICC_PROFILE
 _ICC_PROFILE(CARDINAL) = 0, 11, 78, 44, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 64, 0, 0, 109, 110

I read there is some issue with XFCE and colord.
I tried using xiccd to no avail.

There is an autostart entry of displaycal in /etc/xdg/.

What am I missing?

well, after more trial and error, it seems i have found a solution:
i created a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/ containing Exec=dispwin -I /usr/share/color/icc/colord/EX241UN#1.icc

found here

That will install (copy) the profile on each login, which seems a bit wasteful. Leave out the -I parameter to prevent that. I’m not a fan of either solution as it seems the profile loader is working correctly (no errors related to loading the calibration). Also note that the root window X atom is not necessarily where you want to look, as XrandR will have the atom set as  a property of the respective output.
