Nevermind, it is probably because the configured colord systemd service has PrivateTmp=yes. installing profiles from other directories seems to work. -EDIT- Nope, it seems to fail randomly:

I have had this same issue
For me, it is not just a newly created user.
Fedora 37, GNOME 43.
I created calibration files, attempting to import them immediately leads to a "The profile was not added in time"
$ colormgr import-profile aoc-2250WG5.icm
[sudo] password for doomsdayrs:
The profile was not added in time

Nope, it is my file, and the directory is fine (I even tried my home directory)
Opening up gcm-viewer throws this error after importing.

This xml file is the raw data from the ICC file, I modified it to include a profile ID as the original copy did not include one.
This is what it says when turning back into an icc file
$ iccFromXml aoc-2250WG5.xml aoc-2250WG5.icc
Profile parsed. Profile is invalid, but saved correctly
Warning! - Unknown NULL: Unregistered CMM signature.
NonCompliant! - redColorantTag::XYZ - XYZNumber: Negative Z value!
So I thought for a bit that it was the icc file, but my next experiment eliminates this misconception.
Taking a ICC file from /usr/share/color/icc/colord/
such as blue, turning it into xml, editing the profile id, turning it back into an icc file, and importing it, leads to the same issue.

Ohh kokoko3k (the reporter) was running KDE. /home/doomsdayrs/.local/share/icc/aoc-2250WG5.icm sounds like it doesn't have the correct permissions set.
This issue still exists.
In my case, it does not seem to be a permissions issue, the ICC file I'm trying to add is 644
. Are there other permission issues I need to be aware of?
Edit:
1) The file is in ~/.local/share/icc/
, all four directories in that path are 755
.
2) If I symlink it to /usr/share/color/icc/colord
, it still doesn't appear.
3) If the file is copied to /usr/share/color/icc/colord
, it appears in the list(!).
5) If I chown root.root
the file in ~/.local/share/icc/
, it still doesn't appear.
6) If I chown root.root
it, then colormgr import-profile
it still says The profile was not added in time
I doubt it's a problem with the permissions of the .icc file itself, colormgr import-profile /tmp/myprofile.icc
fails the same way even though /tmp is 0777 and the .icc file is 0666.
This problem seems to have multiple, deeper reasons (in addition to the ones already mentioned), which the error message
"The profile was not added in time"
effectively covers from sight:
In the following I will describe my attempts at resolving it. At the end, I succeeded. :satisfied:
:arrow_right:NOTE: Since I don't use GNOME or KDE (I use fvwm
2.6.5), I have to resort to xiccd
to start and communicate with colord
. YMMV.
The profile I was trying to add was taken from a Windows installation on the same machine. In order to keep things tidy, I gather the color profiles from sources other than the installed programs in /usr/local/share/color/icc/
.
So we start by trying to add such a profile as user XXX:
Following the Gentoo Wiki instructions I did:
colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm | grep "Profile ID"
This produced...nothing. :disappointed:
Indeed
colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm
said:
The profile was not added in time
Huh? :open_mouth:
strace
shows that the process is stuck at
setxattr("/home/XXX/.local/share/icc/YYYYYY.icm", "user.DOSATTRIB", "\0\0\4\0\4\0\0\0Q\0\0\0 \0\0\0Q\"\256\235:\f\332#-\374\255\235:\f\332\1", 32, 0) = 0
and times out with
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4998) = 0 (Timeout)
Searching for
linux setxattr user.DOSATTRIB
brought up Some files on Samba shares are displayed as folders. Reading there, it inspired me to query the "extended attributes" of the ICC profile I was trying to add:
getfattr /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm
user.DOSATTRIB
So, obviously, colormgr
is trying to set this extended attribute, user.DOSATTRIB
, and times out. This attribute is obviously there because I copied the file to a SAMBA
folder and moved it from there to /usr/local/share/color/icc/
.
To resolve this, I removed the extended attribute using the command
setfattr -x user.DOSATTRIB /usr/local/share/color/icc/*.icm
Now the command
strace colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm
gets stuck at
utimensat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/XXX/.local/share/icc/YYYYYY.icm", [{tv_sec=1698787857, tv_nsec=667847000} /* 2023-10-31T22:30:57.667847000+0100 */, {tv_sec=1453082666, tv_nsec=177633000} /* 2016-01-18T03:04:26.177633000+0100 */], 0) = 0
and timeouts again:
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4998) = 0 (Timeout)

There was no display/monitor listed in the output of
colormgr get-devices
Start
xiccd &
This starts the "X color management daemon" xiccd
, whiich starts colord
automatically.
:arrowright:NOTE: In case you are stuck without colord
running and have no GNOME or KDE and are asking yourself "How on earth shall I start colord?"_, this is the way to go - xiccd
!
Now, the display is there:
colormgr get-devices

Restart cupsd
(in Gentoo, you use rc-service
if you don't use systemd
- YMMV):
rc-service cupsd restart
Now
colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm
says:
The profile /home/XXX/.local/share/icc/YYYYYY.icm already exists
so, again, the suggested
colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm | grep "Profile ID"
will not print anything. You have to delete the profile and re-create it. For this, you need to know its ID, so you have to list the profiles:
colormgr get-profiles
This brings up a long list of all installed profiles, i.e. not only just the one you added in /home/XXX/.local/share/icc/
above, but also all profiles under /usr/share/color/icc/colord/
. The one you want to delete is this:

You must use its Profile ID:
colormgr delete-profile icc-41bfb3d0032a4dbd1b9c41fd27cf0560
This produces no errors, BUT THE FILE IS NOT DELETED! Next time you restart xiccd
,
colormgr get-profiles
will show the deleted profile! :rage: Plus: xiccd
does NOT search /usr/local/share/color/icc
- it searches /usr/share/color/icc
ONLY. :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:
You MUST also physically delete the local .icm
file
rm /home/XXX/.local/share/icc/YYYYYY.icm
and re-import it:
colormgr import-profile /usr/local/share/color/icc/YYYYYY.icm | grep "Profile ID"
Again, no output. :disappointed: You have to restart xiccd
... :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:
OK, screw it! :rage:
We have imported the ICC profile and we know its Profile ID:
icc-41bfb3d0032a4dbd1b9c41fd27cf0560
by inspecting the output of colormgr get-profiles
and searching for the brand of your machine (e.g. 'ASUS'):
colormgr get-profiles | less
Continue with the Device IDs, as the Wiki says:
colormgr get-devices | grep "Device ID"
Device ID: cups-CUPS-PDF
Device ID: cups-ABCABCABC
Device ID: xrandr-DP-2
So our display is xrandr-DP-2
. Associate the profile with it:
colormgr device-add-profile xrandr-DP-2 icc-41bfb3d0032a4dbd1b9c41fd27cf0560
and make that profile the default one for that device (i.e. for the display in question (as you might have more than one)):
colormgr device-make-profile-default xrandr-DP-2 icc-41bfb3d0032a4dbd1b9c41fd27cf0560
Verify the association has been made correctly:
colormgr device-get-default-profile xrandr-DP-2

Hi, i'm unable to import any profile i make with my newly created user.
System is running Plasma and on my old user colord can import profile without problems.
I've seen various random reports of this issue from past years, but the issue has never been addressed. Any advice?
Thanks.
