Ok. As this is related to ArgyllCMS , it’s probably best to send a description of the error along with the crash log link to Graeme.
Is there a difference in the flows of “dispcal -d 1” and “dispwin -d 1” ? Only the first one crashes. Is it possible to make dispcal use the system version of argyll ?Also, I confirmed that displaycal-apply-profiles doesn’t work when the GUI is open (this issue notwithstanding). It doesn’t print anything on the terminal. Are you sure it is supposed to work ?

These utilities serve a different purpose, see the argyllCMS documentation for details. I’m using them internally at startup to (in this order):
- Enumerate displays (and instruments, in case instruments were never enumerated before). In case of only display enumeration, dispwin -dcc:? -? is used, otherwise dispcal -dcc:? -?
- Check videoLUT loading for each enumerated display (using the sequence of dispcal -S temp.cal to save current calibration, followed by dispwin -c test.cal, dispwin -V test.cal, and finally restoring saved calibration with dispwin temp.cal)
Is it possible to make dispcal use the system version of argyll ?
Yes, use “Locate ArgyllCMS executables” in the “File” menu.
Also, I confirmed that displaycal-apply-profiles doesn’t work when the GUI is open
It’s not supposed to. It’ll detect if DisplayCAL is running and early exit in that case.
Ok. The dispcal -d 1 crash is repeatable. It always happens, for two different versions of argyll. My original issue of the screen getting stuck on that washed out setting is not consistent. It happens something like 1 in 10 times. I’ll try to report it to argyll.
Btw, the query command itself doesn’t crash. i.e., dispcal -dcc:? -? gives the following output:
