Those are INPUT profiles (e.g. for cameras and scanners). Anything under /home/<username> is only available for the given user. /usr/share is shared files, shipped by your Linux distribution, managed via packages /home/user/.local/share/ICC - user-level, but not darktable specific. /usr/local/share is also shared, the root user can place unmanaged files (not coming from packages of the distro) there. If you calibrate your screen using dispcalgui, it's going to use path described here: https://displaycal.net/#userdata --> so to /home/<username>/.local/share/DisplayCAL/storage You can (logged on as root) copy them to /usr/local/share/dispcalGUI/storage/ (or maybe dispcalgui or some Linux colour management configuration tool can do that?). Personally, I've copied them to a shared but user-writeable directory, and load them using dispwin when launching darktable, since there was a time when I had issues loading them via the nice GUI config tools (probably caused by my lack of understanding), like this: dispwin -I "/use/an/arbitrary/path/that/you/like/dispcalGUI/storage/HP ZR22w 2015-10-11 D6500 2.2 M-S 3xCurve+MTX/HP ZR22w 2015-10-11 D6500 2.2 M-S 3xCurve+MTX.icc" I've put this into a shell script, which is invoked by my other shell script that loads my self-compiled darktable (dev version).
