ERROR: device-make-profile-default

I'm getting this error after running ./icc-brightness watch on Razer Blade 15 2019 OLED Kubuntu 19.04 Kernel: 5.3.0-050300-generic

ERROR: device-make-profile-default

What could be the issue here?

I often have it when the default device is not the screen, but rather something else. Removing the device with colormgr may solve the issue

@ncharles how to remove the device?

[ncharles]

Running (as root) # colormgr get-devices lists all devices

For some reasons, other device may have priority over your screen, you can check which one is used by looking at the device with icc/brightness profiles

If you notice that it's not your screen that have it (most notable failure: the printer), you can remove the device with colormgr delete-device Object_Path_as_returned_by_colormgr

it may help

Note that since last week, icc_brightness doesn't work as I have an ACPI bios errors in my logs ( ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP.BRT6.LCD], AE_NOT_FOUND (20190703/psargs-330) ), not related to icc-brightness but to a change in my firmware
