    Well… I got a course on darktable and in the course the author recommended calibrating your monitor so that your image would look the same on most monitors. Made sense to me so I bought a colormunki and operate it with displaycal. How does one use this thing? I mean I know how to use it to calibrate my monitor but it wants to create an ICC profile. Why? I don’t know! What do you use it for? That too I don’t know. Well, it took a crap while I was creating the profile so I do not know why that would happen.  So please tell me what I need to do to fix it.

    The error I got was:

    Argyl CMS xicclu: invalid white RGB: 0.9028 0.8939 0.8927

    followed by the message in the following window that:

    Profiling has not been finished

    I did feed the error into the search bar but it seems this is the first time this error has happened. That is unlikely but I got no hits.

    Thank you so much for your assistance.

    Here are the contents of my storage directory:

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2xvsVTZy4y1YkVHWXFqa3d2SXM

    there was no file called ‘incomplete’ where you said it would be.

    The problem is not related to files. Your measurements are not stable, and thus you get useless values. You have to make sure that display + instrument aren’t subject to any internal and external influences (changing ambient light, “dynamic” dimming/contrast functionality of the monitor etc).

    I ran it again and it created the profile so all is good… except it looks dim and green. I ran the calibration again and it says everything is dead-on.

    does this look correct?

    I don’t think the browser you’re using is color-managed. Furthermore, a screenshot doesn’t include the effects of calibration. Please attach your profile (click “Create compressed archive…” next to “Settings”, with your profile selected).

    no problem….. fiddling with contrast made it good. Thanks. I just created another icc profile because I messed with it and I’ll include it in this mail when it finishes! There is one problem though: the final results window  says:

    Argyll CMS: Ok

    colord: Querying for profile…. returned no results for 5 secs

    Profile loader: OK

    again, could not find  the profile so I am including the DisplayCAL directory and here is the directory of the .config directory:

    colord: Querying for profile…. returned no results for 5 secs

    Which desktop environment are you using?

    I believe it is Mate. You know….. I really care about this because I work with photographs. I just opened a few old ones and the colors are simply phenomenal!

    I believe it is Mate.

    I’m not sure if Mate has colord support – afaik it needs a colord-aware session daemon. You may want to query someone familiar with that desktop.

    the colord packages come pre-installed on my system (if that means anything).

    Without support for colord in the session that doesn’t mean much.

    Contact the Mate developers and ask about the state of colord support.
