[SOLVED] [GNOME3] "No devices supporting color management detected"

Hello,
yesterday, after updating the Gnome Shell and rebooting, I couldn't use color profiles anymore. The error message given is: "no devices supporting color management detected".

Is this a known issue or is there any chance to fix it? Should I consider to downgrade Gnome to the previous version? (the next question would be how )

Thanks!

Welcome,

Did you check your Gnome Color Manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IC … or_Manager

Downgrading packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_packages

And please provide some more details. Follow these links to see what/how you should post here:

Re: [SOLVED] [GNOME3] "No devices supporting color management detected"

Hello Tambalamba and thanks for linking me common resources about how to post on this forum.

The fact is that the behaviour changed just after an update & reboot.
There aren't any relevant logs so it's quite useless to post my entire dmesg or journal log.

I created the color profiles on Windows and I imported them using gnome-color-manager some months ago and now if I try to open the color management window I get just that message.

colormgr get-devices returns nothing and exits with code 0 (success).

What I was really asking is if that is a known bug, if someone else experienced that (because I didn't change any parameter, I just ran a pacman -Syua) and if someone's already figured out how to fix it.

I've never heard of

pacman -Syua

What does option -a do? I know it exist in Yaourt, but I didn't know I could use it with pacman. Man pages don't mention it too.

It is not valid

I too am facing this issue on my laptop. Prior to the updates to colord and gnome-color-manager yesterday my laptop screen showed as an option.

I don't really know what I'm doing.

Re: [SOLVED] [GNOME3] "No devices supporting color management detected"

I "solved" the problem by downgrading both the colord and gnome-color-manager packages to the previous version.
