Comment 6 for bug 2043119

Update: The button itself is tested to properly show up now. However, it's whether the whole process works. An `sudo apt install gnome-color-manager` may be able to fix that.

@DanielT I just retried displaycal, only this time I went all the way to the end... and it failed... and the terse error looked like it was complaining that it couldn't communicate with the color-manager, so I installed gnome-color-manager and then displaycal worked properly when rerun. –

# Updated question https://askubuntu.com/q/1504329/1004020

Update #1 - 2/21/24:

This appears to be a bug that goes all the way back to Ubuntu 22.10. I'm told that it works fine in 22.04, but I haven't verified that yet.

Update #2 - 2/22/24:

After implementing the patch from the answer by Daniel T (thanks BTW), it does now get a "Start" button, but after clicking it, the color patch remains white, and it errors out with "internal error".

See the following information from the terminal, and syslog.
