I wish to be wrong, but color management in Wayland may still have a long way to go [1].

Now I get an idea, what the reason for my problems may be.

Because Ubuntu 20.04 on my mashine had some problems on startup, last week I decided to do the LTS-upgrade earlier then 22.04.1 is released on 4th August.
I got DT 4.0 from PPA "unbuntuhandbook".
After upgrade to some new nvidia-drivers, the openCL-Support in DT was fixed.

But one of my displays (EIZO) seemed to be out of calibration, it looks a bit too green after the upgrade.

I found, that DisplayCAL (3.8.x) is not longer in the sources in 22.04 because of the dependencies to python 2, with is not longer supported. But there is a new projekt "DisplayCAL-PY3" porting the code to python 3. It can be installed with "pip install DisplayCAL" which gives you a version 3.9.6, still in progress but works.

The calibration of my new ASUS-display was done in half an hour. But the calibration of my older EIZO (has run more then 8000 hours), takes 2 days with many attempts. Each run with other results, some lookes green, some looked magenta, some had bad messages. Sometimes even the hardware-defined RGB-start-point drifted from one attempt to the next.

Each time the result was different, the colors seemed to be "unstable". I worried, the last days of my diplay has come.

At least (after a dozen tries) I got a icc-profile that seems to work.

May this problems result from an unstable implementation of colormanagement in wayland in Ubuntu 22.04?
Or should I begin to save some money for a new display?
Why does Ubuntu do an upgrade to a system without a stable colormanagement?

Hardware: NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, ASUS VA24E, EIZO FORIS FS2333, XRite colormunki Smile.
