Bug 407319 – media-gfx/argyllcms and gnome-color-manager do not play along

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Morse 2012-03-07 19:00:25 UTC]

when I try to calibrate my screen using GNOME3 standart tools (gnome-control-centre color, gnome-color-manager, argyllcms), I can't do it, because of filename changing: argyllcms ebuild renames all binaries from the package prefixing it with "argyll-", which makes them impossible to use by gnome.

[Comment 1 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2012-03-07 19:14:12 UTC]

Thanks for reporting. I see that our gnome-color-manager tries to launch "dispcal" instead of "argyll-dispcal". Are there any other argyllcms executables that gnome-color-manager calls incorrectly?

[Comment 2 Morse 2012-03-07 19:37:14 UTC]

That I don't know, but I suppose that all of them. As I installed argyllcms from local overlay anyway, I just removed this prefixes from ebuild. I didn't try to launch calibration renaming agryll binaries one at a time.

Fixed, thanks for reporting.

patch for gnome-color-manager

[Comment 5 Morse 2012-03-09 16:40:42 UTC]

Not quite fixed yet. g-c-m calls for dispcal in three different places.

upstreamable patch

Please test this patch; I believe it should also work on all distros, and would therefore be acceptable for inclusion in gnome-color-manager upstream.

You need a patch for your patch :)

line 26:
-	if (!command == NULL)
+	if (command == NULL)

Othen that that - yes, it's working. good to go to upstream.
