colord error when attempting monitor calibration. (Kubuntu 16.04)
I am not sure if there is a better place to put this. I am trying to calibrate my monitor using Displaycal. After it goes through its tests and tries to install an ICC profile I get the following error message:
The profile has been installed, but there may be problems. Agryll CMS: OK colord: Querying for profile 'icc-(long hex string here)' returned no result for 5 seconds
I have rebooted the computer and searched for the profile name using
$ colormgr get-profiles
And no profile by that name exists.
I asked on the Displaycal help forums and the developer there told me to ask you people.
Some people have solved this problem by installing package gnome-color-manager, however, since I am using KDE with Kubuntu, I am hesitant to try this. Any ideas?
Hello. Thank you for the reply.
$ sudo dpkg --get-selections
Lists all the installed packages on my system (I think). Neither colord-kde nor xiccd are listed when I run that command. These are the packages that contain the string "colord:"
- colord
- colord-data
- gir1.2-colord-1.0
- gir1.2-colordgtk-1.0
- libcolord-gtk1:amd64
- libcolord2:amd64
The string "xiccd" does not appear at all in the list of installed packages.
Does that answer the question?
I installed colord-kde from the Ubuntu repositories and received the same error. Any other ideas to try?
I have the same error on a Kubuntu box using the Nvidia display drivers. I don't get the error on my laptop so that makes me think that colord can't work with these proprietary drivers. I am now searching for another way to load the icc profiles. Nouveau doesn't work for me so isn't an option.
Edit to add: I found this blog post which says that nvidia cannot handle per-monitor icc profiles. I have a 2 monitor setup so this seems to be a no-go with my hardware and current drivers / software. Hoping that a Radeon will solve my problems.
