Have to re-calibrate my notebook monitor after every reboot

Hello there, i’m arrive to this reply, searching about Monica Calibration Tool…
I installed and use it, but everytime a reboot or turn off and on my notebook, i have to execute it again and calibrate, “save & exit”…
I was wondering if u can guide me about how to make this change persistent, im using Manjaro XFCE.

Thanks for your time.

Regards.

Your “save and exit” command after calibration generates a hidden file named .monicarc in your home directory.
Copy/paste the content fom .monicarc to your .profile . ==> Edit: The .profile form @soundofthunder looks more smart, try out.
Btw., have you done the necessary changes to make shure your .profile is sourced?
Have a look at your .bash_profile , should look like this:

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile

I have never used the Monica tool, but using @Banjo’s response as a basis, I imagine you can source .monicarc in much the same way.

So, editing your ~/.bash_profile; rather than copy/paste the content of ~/.monicarc, source it instead (example):

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
[[ -f ~/.monicarc ]] && . ~/.monicarc
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && . ~/.profile

In this way, any time you perform a re-calibration, the new changes should automatically be included at next login.

Again, this is a guess without the luxury of having tested it, but (to me) it seems that it should work without issue.

Regards.

(I arranged the above entries alphabetically, but order likely won’t matter)

Yes, that’s all out of my memory, before the changes to .profile - but yes, should work.

I use xrandr as a clickable script to click on after the desktop loads. Here is my command to the external monitor as an example.

xrandr --output VGA-1 --gamma .40:.50:.66
