Hi,
I have an error when calibrating my new screen: new_disprd failed with ‘Instrument Access Failed’
I ordered a screen and after a little problem, I received a new one (the same) so I would like to calibrate it. It worked for the first one but it doesn’t work anymore. I use a SpyderX and it’s well working.
I’m on Ubuntu 18.04 and here are the logs:

Thank you for your help 🙂
SpyderX Pro on Amazon

I just bought a spyder X and went into same problem with ubuntu 18.04.
Here is the trick that worked for me:
First, I red somewhere in this forum that the spiderX is supported by argyll since the 2.1.0 release. That is newer than the one packaged in ubuntu 18.04. So, I downloaded the last binary for linux from https://www.argyllcms.com/ and untared it. Then, in DisplayCAL I went in “File>localize ArgyllCMS executables” and put the path to the directory where I untared the 2.1.0 release (directory_name/bin actually). From this step, the spiderX appeared in the Instrument list in DisplayCAL, but I still get the “disprd failed” error.
So, following instructions about installation of Argyll on Linux here, I just copied the usb/55-Argyll.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d and it solved the problem.
It seems that the package build for ubuntu distrib miss this configuration file for the usb calibration device to work.
Hope it helps,
Cheers -
