I am trying to calibraty my monitor using a sypeder 2 and dispcal argyll and I get a "Instrument Access Failed" error. I attach the log of running 'sudo dispcal -v -q l -y l -D 9 dell'. The OS is a Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits. The spyder is attached directly to the computer.
Hi, this problem has been reported by others, but since I am not able to reproduce it with the hardware I have, there isn't a solution currently. They also report it as a Ubuntu problem. (I suspect it will be something that has to be fixed in the Linux USB drivers though). Traces from the Linux USB driver debug seems to reveal nothing interesting, although it would help to have some confirmation of this. See for instance usbmon <http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt>. It would help to know what the host USB hardware is though - ie. the output of lsusb -t and lsusb -v with the Spyder plugged in for both systems (the one that works, and the one that doesn't).
