DisplayCal is asking for a password when I want to install the sensor profiles
for all users. However it does not tell me which password it actually wants.
I tried my own password, then it says it failed and asks again.
If I enter the root password, it says it failed, and does not ask again.
It's not obvious from the syslog what happens.
However when I open the protocol windows, I see some messages that seem
unexpected:

Possibly the command sudo is trying to execute is "COMMAND=list
/usr/bin/oeminst -?", and that returns an error staus. Maybe that's the reason
why things do not work.
The other odd thing are these messages:

Sorry, if this may be different issues leading to the result I'm experiencing,
but I'm somewhat clueless.
Another message that is not directly related to this issue is:
Nov 25 18:12:03 i7.site /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[3025]: Window manager

resizable, but sets min size 393 x 181 and max size 134217727 x 134217727; this
doesn't make much sense.
