I am having the same problem as the original poster. I have recently built a new PC and put a fresh Linux install on it. Calibre on my old PC worked fine on 64bit Linux. Now it works ok, but it gets the:
Could not fetch ISBNDB metadata. Error: [Errno socket error] (-2, 'Name or service not known')
error when I try to grab metadata.

I took a look at the ticket for it. I am not using a proxy. Here is the output of calibre-debug -c "from calibre import browser; print browser.open('http://google.com').read()"

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/init.py", line 45, in <module>
File "/home/kovid/work/calibre/src/calibre/debug.py", line 150, in main
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'open'
Segmentation fault

Is there anything I can do to get the metadata downloading working? Either way, thanks a lot for Calibre. I'm a happy user.
