busctl cannot activate service rs.wl-gammarelay

[Cornflames]

When I try to use wl-gammarelay-rs in the terminal I get the following error message:

$ busctl --user set-property rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay Temperature q 5000
Failed to set property Temperature on interface rs.wl.gammarelay: The name ist not activatable

This seems to be in line with the following error with introspection:

$ busctl --user introspect rs.wl-gammarelay / rs.wl.gammarelay
Failed to introspect object / of service rs.wl-gammarelay: The name is not activatable

Because I'm very unfamiliar with using dbus and because running the above commands with sudo throws that $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are not defined, this is likely a problem with my dbus rather than with wl-gammarelay-rs. In addition, my system does not know the wl-gammarelay-rs cli, so my installation or setup might be incomplete?

I'm sorry to opening an issue, but I am a beginner and common dbus problem solving techniques like described here didn't work for me. So I would be very thankful for any help!

Note: My system is archlinux and I run the Hyprland window manager.

Yes. Which method of installation did you use? If cargo install ..., then you need to add ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH. There is also an AUR package.

You have to launch wl-gammarelay-rs somehow. In your hyprland config for example.

I am not familiar with DBus activation, but presumably if #17 gets implemented, you will not have to launch it manually.

with sudo throws that $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are not defined, this is likely a problem with my dbus rather than with wl-gammarelay-rs

No, no, don't run busctl with sudo.

I installed it with cargo install wl-gammarelay-rs --locked from source. Adding ~/.cargo/bin to my PATH worked fine, now I find wl-gammarelay-rs!
I will try to do some more research about DBus activation. However, thank you for your help so far!

I will close this as a duplicate of #17
