Title: X11 Monitor ICC profile keeps reverting back to default setting
Post by: Cheyenne on 2009 September 01 06:30:56

I can set my color profile for my monitor via the ColorManagementSetup X11 setting, restart PI to pick up the change, but when I quit PI and restart the 3rd time the monitor profile is back to the RGB profile.

Initial state:
grep -i systemcolordirectory PixInsight.ini
Global\ColorManagement\SystemColorDirectory=/usr/share/color/icc

grep -i monitor PixInsight.ini
Global\ColorManagement\MonitorProfilePath=/usr/share/color/icc/sRGB_IEC61966-2.1.icc
Global\ColorManagement\UpdateMonitorProfile=

runpi

setting X11 monitor profile

grep -i monitor PixInsight.ini
Global\ColorManagement\MonitorProfilePath=/usr/share/color/icc/sRGB_IEC61966-2.1.icc
Global\ColorManagement\UpdateMonitorProfile=Samsung ICM Profile


runpi Restart PixInsight to pick up new profile

PixInsight Using new profile setting

grep -i monitor PixInsight.ini
Global\ColorManagement\MonitorProfilePath=/usr/share/color/icc/sm213t.icm
Global\ColorManagement\UpdateMonitorProfile=

runpi Start PixInsight a third time

grep -i monitor PixInsight.ini
Global\ColorManagement\MonitorProfilePath=/usr/share/color/icc/sRGB_IEC61966-2.1.icc
Global\ColorManagement\UpdateMonitorProfile=


Notes:

All runpi does is set the PATH to PixInsight directory and invoke the PixInsight.sh script

The /usr/share/color/icc directory contains a symbolic link to the two icc profiles supplied by PixInsight as well as my monitor's profile.

Hi Cheyenne,

Thank you for such a detailed and well documented report.

This looks like a regression in 1.5 for Linux. However I can't say more until I finish reinstalling my workstation (Fedora 11) and all virtual machines.

As soon as things "stabilize" and I can make normal tests again, I'll investigate this problem and let you know what I find. Anyway count with it fixed in the next version, of course.

No problem.  I have a work around (I can set up my runpi script to update the configuration file before invoking PixInsight)
