Hello

i want to improve color rendering on screen
so as better edit images
so as to improve printed colors.

I use a "HP 32" quite basic screen
My printer DTP guy told me i should "get a color probe and calibrate the screen".

So i bought a "XRite i1Display Studio" probe.
It seems it is a recent product, a variation of the "i1display Pro".

I'm working on UBuntu 20.10, but i will upgrade to 21.04 sooner or later.

When i plug the probe, a system dialog pops and displays the choosen profiles
and proposes to calibrate.

When i choose calibrate, i have to answer 5 screens of settings
and then i have to place the probe on screen,
and press start.
The white square grows and moves a little
and very quickly it hangs with an irrecoverable error.
I seems i cant use system calibration tool.

I've looked for https://displaycal.net/ software
but it is not available for recent ubuntu and its dev looks dead.

So i wonder : How can i use this probe on a recent Ubuntu ?

Should i rather send it back and get money back ?

When so, how can i improve color rendering for scribus PDF printing
while working on recent ubuntu ?
