Color management - Gnome-Shell

Hi all,

From the system settings we seems to be able to calibrate displays, when opening the window my webcam appear but the option to calibrate is grey.

Do we need to start the process with root?

And I am running a dual-display with two different screen (obviously not displaying the same colors) so I would like to calibrate them in order to achieve same colors?

How to add them to that calibration setting page?

Looking forward for your replies,

Regards,

Re: Color management - Gnome-Shell

you need to connect a measurement instrument. just hover the mouse over calibrate and a description is appearing

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Right,

that was a prompt reply, many thanks.

If i over the mouse it says "Create a color profile for the selected device"

When pressed it doesn't do anything but return an error on the terminal: (gnome-control-center:19932): color-cc-panel-WARNING **: failed to run calibrate: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gcm-calibrate" (No such file or directory)

A search on package for "gsm-calibrate" or "calibrate" doesn't return any result,

And how would I go about adding the two displays? Might want to mention I am running with a xorg.conf and when opening the "display" page from the settings it's recognize as one unique display,

Looking forward for your reply,

You have to install gnome-color-manager.

But even with it, it didn't work for me : it says "More software is required!", and click on "Install required software" don't do anything.

Re: Color management - Gnome-Shell

yes you were right, installing gnome-color-management got the process starting; but then stop.

See below terminal error:

(gcm-calibrate:1494): Gcm-WARNING **: The request failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files

Any idea?
