    opensuse 42.2
    linux 4.4.36-8-default x86_64
    argyllcms 1.8.4.1
    DisplayCal 3.2.3
    Spyder5

    I had run a monitor calibration before the upgrade to 42.2, from 42.1. I decided to do so for the new version of opensuse because, why not.

    The calibration proceeded normally; installing the new profile did not. This appears to be a fault of “sudo” since neither DisplayCal not argyllcms versions have changed.

    Here is the complete log entry:

    2017-01-15T22:54:22-0700 sma-station14l sudo[7264]: xxxx : PAM authentication error: Authentication token manipulation error ; TTY=pts/7 ; PWD=/home/xxxx ; USER=root ; COMMAND=list /usr/bin/dispwin -?

    Can anyone suggest what may have changed, and how to fix it?

    Hi,

    did you enter the correct password and is your user in the “sudoers” list? Also, in case this is a single-user system, there is no benefit to install a profile system wide.

    Yes.

    and is your user in the “sudoers” list?

    Yes.

    Yes, I was trying to install it system-wide; why not?

    When I chose “current user,” the installation  succeeded. It did not do so for the earlier version, 3.1.4, which generated the ICC profile.

    Installing system wide is pointless on single-user systems.
