I'm currently unable to calibrate my monitor using Linux Mint 20.1. Plugging in a color calibration device (a colormunki) does activate the "Calibrate" button, but clicking it yields no results other than the following errors when started from the Terminal:

`cinnamon-settings color
Using PAM module (python3-pam)
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py:427: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Window.set_wmclass is deprecated
  self.window.set_wmclass(wm_class, wm_class)
Failed to install packages: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

** (cinnamon-settings.py:4525): WARNING **: 20:35:06.978: failed to install required component`

Trying to apply an existing color profile also doesn't change the color output of the display. I have also confirmed this on an a laptop running the same version of Mint.

Any idea's how to proceed/fix?

**Steps to reproduce**
Plug calibration device into computer, open Colour in Cinnamon-settings and click "calibrate" button

**Expected behaviour**
Dialogue opens to calibrate screen

**Other information**
This is most likely related to bug: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/8751

Maybe your missing a package dependency?

ScrambleTheRamble commented 3 years ago

I can't rule it out, but I couldn't find what might be missing based on the error I get. As this happens on both installs it should be missing in all default installations.

I have same issue, escpecially when trying to click on "View Details" after selecting monitor color pallet.

Failed to install packages: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

So far was unable to find anyone resolving this org.freedesktop.PackageKit dependecy issue.
