Cannot start Darktable [solved]

[Claes]

Then you will have to consult Garuda manuals.
My info was based on using endeavouros.

Ok

Solved by installing DT in /usr/ and not in /opt/Darktable/

What is this?

It is a feature: darktable 4.6 user manual - darktable-cltest

@Rajkhand

opt/darktable/bin/darktable-cmstest
darktable-cmstest version 4.5.0+38~g57f0f67816

Better check your system setup
 - some monitors reported different profiles
You may experience inconsistent color rendition between color managed applications

What is this?

If the question is related to the colour management warning, it means that there are different profiles reported by the two sources darktable can use. The x-atom source is not set; colord is set to some automatically generated (EDID) profile, I think.
There’s an old thread here:

There’s a setting in darktable’s preferences governing where the display profile is obtained from. The choices are x-atom, colord or both.

I assume you are not working with a profiled display. Maybe you should set that config option to colord, I assume the automatic profile is better than nothing. I could be wrong, of course.

I had calibrated my monitor on the mac side and have a calibrated profile which I have loaded (on Garuda linux settings )and also put it in .config-darktable-color-out.

So how to point to it?

[kofa (István Kovács)]

I really don’t think you need it in the color-out directory (that’s for exports).

Given that Garuda is based on Arch:
