Profile does not exist for this device #1

Closed smathieson closed 6 years ago

smathieson commented 6 years ago

For some reason seems to have stopped working in debian SID.

The command: "colormgr find-profile-by-filename brightness_583_1060.icc" Finds the following object path: "/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/icc_f1331094da4d3aae46271d681fc04c49_samuel_1000"

Then the command: "colormgr device-make-profile-default 'xrandr-Lenovo Group Limited' /org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/icc_f1331094da4d3aae46271d681fc04c49_samuel_1000" Errors out the following: "profile object path '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/icc_f1331094da4d3aae46271d681fc04c49_samuel_1000' does not exist for this device"

This is not related to the python script, seems the error is in colormgr. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks, Sam.

Here is your python script modified to "fix" this issue. Changes: colormgr device-add-profile will run every time in a try pass block (seems to fail sometimes otherwise???) DEVICE_ID replaced by a function that uses colormgr get-devices-by-kind display

Seems to work like this. Would be interested in knowing if your original script still runs in your laptop. I don't know why it just stopped working.

I applied your patch with a few changes. I'm not sure why colormgr is behaving this way. I sometimes get the error 'The profile was not added in time' during import-profile, but I haven't seen your error.
