With Ubuntu 17.10 (artful aardvark):
when trying to calibrate my monitor with my datacolor spyder 3 calibration tool using the settings - devices - color manager, after I am told to hang the instrument on the screen and start calibrating I get something like
an internal error occurred that could not be recovered - remove calibration device
does anbybody know what to do here? Thanks. minyves
EDIT:
Found it! It worked after
apt-get install colord-sensor-argyll
It worked in Ubuntu 17.10 after running this command:
sudo apt install colord-sensor-argyll
Try using DisplayCAL/dispcalGUI. It should install necessary components and the interface is pretty much straight forward. Side note: it takes a while to calibrate, so best make a cup of tea/coffee and turn off monitor saving for the calibration process.
To install dispcalGUI in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install dispcalgui colord # colord is an optional package
