Under Natty I had a lovely .icc calibration file for my laptop's screen. It's awful without it.

Under Oneiric, when I go to 'Color' in the settings manager only my webcam is listed in the devices that can be colour managed. So I can't install my .icc profile.

I've installed all the gcm/argyl stuff but that hasn't got me anywhere either.

How can I (re)install my colour profile?

(I now consider this a bug. Report filed on launchpad, please mark it as affecting you if it does)

Until this bug is fixed, you can load your colour profile manually with

dispwin your_colour_profile.icc

(so you can put that in a script in your your autostart folder)

I am having a similar issue in Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 (Gnome 3.18).
NOTE: I already had an .icc file for my display.

I was able to manually apply it to my unlisted display with the following command:

# dispwin -d 2 ./Dell_3007WFP-5000.icm

-d 2 specified the 2nd display (1st was my laptop built-in display)

Hope this helps somebody!

use the drop down list to select other

navigate to a compatible .icc profile and then click import

    I think he said he cannot select his monitor because it doesn't show up there. :)

  • I've been looking at the issue too, and it seems like gnome colour manager is no longer allowing nvidia driven displays to be corrected. Oct 22, 2011 at 1:21
