I'm on Kubuntu 21.01, with Plasma version 5.22.3, Frameworks 5.83.0, Qt version 5.15.2. It's an all AMD home built system (Ryzen 3600X with AMD Vega 56 video card)

In System Settings -> Color corrections I can only see the primary display of my two displays as well as my printer. From konsole, when I use the colormgr command line I can only see the primary display and my printer. If I reinstall colord and colord-kde, I can see both of my displays but not my printer. Same with using the colormgr command line tool.

I can setup my icc profile for the one monitor. When I reinstall colord and colord-kde, at that point I can setup the icc profiles for both screens.

Upon reboot, everything will revert back to only seeing one screen and profile, and being only able to change the icc profile for the one screen leaving the second screen uncalibrated and looking vasty different colorwise when compared to the calibrated screen. I cannot force a profile load to the second screen from command line until I reinstall colord/colord-kde.

Prior to my upgrade, I could see and setup my ICC profile for both screens and printer at all times. Any idea's of what the problem is or where to look for the problem as I want to keep my system color managed.

It's a strange problem, and highly likely not many have it - but it's one I'd like to have corrected and keep my screens looking the same. Thank you.

My bad, I thought I posted in the right forum... And no, unfortunately I still haven't figured out where the hiccup (bug/feature, etc) is.

Umm... Okay, this is working... Not sure the whole what where, etc - just works as expected now. No reinstalls of packages, persistence of profile setup hold upon reboots, etc. So that is good, it is a too bad we can't document what was broken or a fix if any one else happens to run into the problem.
