There are a few reasons why it doesn't work: 1) argyllcms isn't installed by default (and it's a dependency for gnome-color-manager to work) 2) argyllcms isn't even packaged in the main repository (it's in multimedia:photo) 3) gnome-color-manager even knows that argyll must be installed, however, it silently fails when trying to install the package (due to #2) 4) monitor awareness and default profiles are not set up by default (and are missing from the session) unless one toggles the color setting in dconf under org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > color > active (this can be accomplished using dconf-editor) 5) when the color plugin is activated, it prompts the user several times for the administrator password; there's some issue with authentication where it isn't given the correct privileges a single time 6) similar to #5, an admin password is needed a couple times each time the profile is changed Issue #3 (and basically #1 & #2) are related to a longstanding bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619915 Issues #5 & #6 also affect the GNOME 3 desktop in other ways, but aren't as painful as in the color management settings. It appears to be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706908 All together, these bugs make it impossible to calibrate one's screen with openSUSE 12.1 and keep using the generated profiles (as one must manually toggle the dconf key each time, and then enter their root password several times after that for *every* time a session is started). A user may even see these password prompts for calibration even if they do not have a device, too. I saw this after installing openSUSE 12.1 RC2 on my mom's and nephew's computer as well as my netbook and workstation @ work. (I did try to calibrate my netbook and my workstation @ work, but the issues above prevented me from using it, even after adding the photo repo for the argyllcms package, installing argyll, making a profile for each monitor, etc.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
