    Hi there, thanks for this amazing software.

    I have a problem though. I am on Linux Mint 17.2 (based on Ubuntu 14.04), DispcalGUI 3.0.4 and I have a Spyder 3 colorimeter. When I try to “import colorimeter corrections from other display profiling software”. DispcalGUI downloads a “iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe” file, ok.
    But then, I always get the error “File invalid”.
    I took the resulting file “DeviceCorrections.txt” from /tmp directory and tried to manually import it with the button “Select file” but I get the same error again and again. What can I do ?

    Sorry, I can’t reproduce this, it’s working fine here (Ubuntu 15.04). Please attach the DeviceCorrections.txt

    Here it is.

    Would it be a problem with file encoding, an unsupported one ? My system is in fr_FR.UTF-8. It would be strange if it was that because UTF-8 is usually well supported.

    Is there a way to import it manually with a command line ?

    I found the command in the log and ran :
    $ oeminst -v -Sl iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe

    Loading file ‘iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe’..done
    ‘iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe’ is unknown
    oeminst: Error – Reading ‘iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe’ failed with ‘Error at line 0 of file ‘Mem‘: No CGATS file identifier found’

    Is this file taken from : http://www.graphiland.ch/downloads/Quato/iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe ?

    So, I continued my investigations and think it’s a problem of Argyllcms version on Ubuntu 14.04. This version is 1.5.1.
    So I added a PPA : ppa:pmjdebruijn/argyll-testing and was able to upgrade to argyll 1.6.3.

    Now I can run this command with following output :

    $ oeminst -v -Sl i1ProfilerSetup_1_6_1.exe
    
    Loading file 'i1ProfilerSetup_1_6_1.exe'..done
    'i1ProfilerSetup_1_6_1.exe' seems to be an Inno archive

    Wrote '/usr/local/share/ArgyllCMS/WLEDFamily_07Feb11.ccss' 56462 bytes
    

    But this one is still in error :

        $ oeminst -v -Sl iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe 
    Loading file 'iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe'..done

    oeminst: Error - Reading 'iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe' failed with 'Error at line 0 of file '**Mem**': No CGATS file identifier found'
    

    I will try later to compile latest version of Argyll (1.7.0) and report.

    Well, I saw Argyll documentation for compiling the software and I am afraid this is not for me, too complicated… I am looking for an alternative solution.


    @fhoech
    , which version of Argyll do you have in Ubuntu 15.04 ?
    Do you think it is a problem of a too old Argyll version ?
    Could the exe files be corrupted ?

    Would it be a problem with file encoding, an unsupported one ?

    No, the DeviceCorrections.txt is a 7-bit ASCII file. The “File invalid” error in this case can only occur on de-/encoding or JSON errors though which is strange.

    Please try the following in a terminal (change the paths accordingly):

    $ python2 /home/yourusername/dispcalGUI-3.0.4/dispcalGUI/ccmx.py /path/to/DeviceCorrections.txt

    If you’re using 0install, substitute /home/yourusername/dispcalGUI-3.0.4/dispcalGUI/ with /home/yourusername/.cache/0install/implementations/sha1new=19100fd8e445330fed01723991f603b1609f7b48/dispcalGUI/

    If you’re using a system-installed dispcalGUI, substitute /home/yourusername/dispcalGUI-3.0.4/dispcalGUI/ with /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dispcalGUI/

    /path/to/ needs to be writable.

    $ oeminst -v -Sl iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe

    This can’t work because importing the corrections from iColorDisplay is a functionality specific to dispcalGUI.

    Well, I saw Argyll documentation for compiling the software and I am afraid this is not for me, too complicated… I am looking for an alternative solution.

    If you’re looking to use the latest Argyll CMS (which I’d recommend regardless), head over to argyllcms.com and download the Linux binaries.

    My dispcalGUI is installed with 0install ubuntu .deb package taken from your official site (since my distro is Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 14.04).

    As you recommended, I took argyll 1.7.0 binaries (x64) from official site and removed the system package. Even with these changes, I can’t import iColorDisplay colorimeter corrections (File Invalid error).

    As you asked, I executed this :

     $ python2 .cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1new=19100fd8e445330fed01723991f603b1609f7b48/dispcalGUI/ccmx.py Bureau/tmp/DeviceCorrections.txt
    

    This created 73 .ccmx files with names corresponding with DeviceCorrections.txt content.

    A strange thing I noted is that dispcalGUI doesn’t download iColorDisplay_3_8_3_4_Setup.exe file anymore but always retrieve a DeviceCorrections.txt even if I delete it from everywhere (I used the linux find command from the system root path ‘/’ ).

    I deleted all iColor* file and all DeviceCorrections* from my system and dispcalGUI always create a /home/myusername/Download/DeviceCorrections.txt with a content that seems to be ok. Where it comes from ??? A cache ?

    Importation of that mysterious file is always a failure :

    I don’t understand… I think I must clean some directories or something to force dispcalGUI to download agan the iColorDisplay package but I can’t find which ones.

    Yes, I changed the redirection so that the file is downloaded directly.

    Your error seems not related to the file itself. Please do the following:

    $ cd .cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1new=19100fd8e445330fed01723991f603b1609f7b48
    $ python2 -c "from dispcalGUI import config; print repr(config.get_argyll_data_dir()); print config.get_argyll_data_dir()"
    

    This should print the directory where it tries to save the CCMX files.

    /home/bertrand/.local/share/color
    

    This directory didn’t exist so I cerated it. But the problem remains the same, “File Invalid”.

    So that the files go to /home/bertrand/.local/share/color ?
    This command ouputs nothing and the directory /home/bertrand/.local/share/color remains empty.

    But the 73 ccmx files are generated in /home/bertrand/Downloads.

    It is like the last argument was ignored… Maybe the cause of my problem ?

    My bad, I forgot that the script only takes a single argument (the path of DeviceCorrections.txt).

    You can move them to the location.
