Can't calibrate monitor

[Gari Araolaza]

Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04

Tried to calibrate my monitor with an external device (x-rite huey pro). Process seems to go fine and starts working on the calibration. At about 80% of the progress bar I receive the message (in basque, not sure where to search it in english):

Kalibrazioak huts egin du
Kalibratzeko behar diren tresnak ez daude instalatuta
Kalibrazioaren gailua ken dezakezu

Which translates to (free non-official translation)

Calibration has failed.
The tools needed for calibration are not installed
You can remove the calibration device

Launching the tool from the command line, I receive these messages:

(gnome-control-center:3471): color-cc-panel-WARNING **: 13:28:57.868: calibration failed with code 4: failed to get filename for colprof

Thank you for your bug report, that sounds like an issue upstream, could you report it upstream on

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues ?

it seems similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/951

Please try:

  sudo apt install argyll

[Robert Luckett (shropshirelad)]

This occurs on every 20.04 install I've done. Installing argyll fixes issue.
