Display calibration hangs

[dot-borg]

After performing a display calibration, the "continue" button remains grayed-out. Clicking the arrow to show the output reveals that all the patches were checked and everything looks OK with the message "The instrument can be removed from the screen". However, no further action can be taken other than clicking the back button or the cancel button.

I was able to get past this by downgrading argyll to 1.4.0-8ubuntu5 but then I got a segfault when the profile was to be written out.

[dot-borg (itrombley)]

I ran dispcal from the terminal

    dispcal -v -q l -t 6500 -H -P 0.5,0.5,0.8 display

and it got stuck at the message "The instrument can be removed from the screen", so this is definitely an argyll issue.

I hit this issue as well. I fixed it by upgrading colord, gnome-color-manager and argyll from this PPA:

[dot-borg (itrombley)]

Thanks for the link. I'll give the PPA a try.

I have encountered an issue that is the same or similar to this on two different machines running ubuntu 14.04. (Using a Colormunki photo).
Colour calibration hangs with the "Continue" button grayed-out when the progress indicator is finished at the "Getting default parameters" stage. I calibrated my screen without any issue using the same set up 10 months ago.

I can confirm that using Pascal's PPA https://launchpad.net/~pmjdebruijn/+archive/gnome-color-manager-release solved the problem for me.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ul. Vo. (ulrich-voosholz)]

Issue same to me. (Trusty, AMD64). The PPA solved the problem.

[Alfred15 (vincent-raspal)]

I have the same problem (Ubuntu 14.04, AMD 64)
I'm gonna try Pascal's PPA

[dot-borg (itrombley)]

This is still an issue in 14.10.

[Chelmite (steve-kelem)]

This is still an issue in 14.10, even after installing the PPA. I am running the app from Systems Settings/Color on an x86-64 system. I have a colormunki photo.

Also, there is an error in the illustration when it says to switch from Calibrate to Screen, the illustration shows the calibration orientation for both of them. Do I file a bug here, or with Pascal de Bruijn?
