   trying to get some files to work with a

   From: none@nowhere.net   
      
   I have always used a program called Dispcal to do color calibrations of   
   my monitors.  I had it installed and running before my upgrade to 22.04.   
     So, after the upgrade, first tried installing it from the software   
   center and had a bunch of unmet dependencies.  After a little research,   
   it was suggested to install via flatpak instead, which I did today.   
   After a little detective work and adding a file, I was finally able to   
   save it to favorites for easy access from the dock (I guess you can't   
   natively save flatpak apps to the dock normally?).  Anyway, now I am   
   unable to install the "executables" that the program needs.  It says   
   specifically where to unzip the files (into the bin folder), but no   
   matter what I try, the program Dispcal won't see these Angyll   
   executables.  I've placed the Angyll folder in home, /, all sorts of   
   places and it's like it's invisible to Dispcal.  I've even tried   
   removing the executables within the unzipped bin folder and placing them   
   in various places, but the program still won't see them.  This Angyll   
   zip is what is recommended for Linux.  Before I go to the Dispcal forum,   
   register, and post, I would welcome any thoughts here.  Seems like it   
   may be a permissions problem of sorts, but I don't know.  I also tried   
   placing the Agyll folder and even its contents within the flatpak   
   folder, but still invisible to the program.  Thanks in advance.  I DID   
   have trouble installing this program in prior Ubuntu versions, probably   
   for similar reasons, but its been so long ago that all I remember was   
   the installation was not easy.
