Description Paul Menzel 2017-12-15 11:18:47 UTC 
It’s totally fine building colord without a systemd service unit by passing `--with-systemdsystemunitdir=no` to configure [1].

When doing that though, applications using the GTK+ printing dialog output a lot of warnings like below to the terminal.

```
** (evince:4561): WARNING **: failed to contact colord: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.ColorManager: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed: Unit colord.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
```

These warnings should not be shown or downgraded to info, and then only shown once.

just start colord, and they will go away.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2017-12-16 01:11:50 UTC 
A patch for restricting this to a one-time warning would be welcome as well
