I am on Ubuntu Karmic Koala and have just installed Calibre 6.45
My library is called Calibre Library and I can't get calibre to import or convert any ebook. I have been trying since yesterday, have searched all posts with similar problems and tried suggested solutions to no avail.
My library is in my $HOME and I have read and write permissiion. In admission, I am also the administrator so I can't understand why I am having this problem.
Whenever I try to import any ebook, all I get is thiis error message:
Code:
Living with SSD.html
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/add.py", line 114, in run
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/add.py", line 201, in add
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1554, in create_book_entry
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/sqlite.py", line 152, in run
DatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database
	RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/sqlite.py", line 116, in run
	OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database
I have read and write permission on folder and subfolders.
Calibre Library is owned by my user name seanbw with read/write access. Book I want to import is owned by me with read and write permission.
What is wrong? Can anyone help as I really need to publish this book on my site.
Can I also say that Calibre is awesome. i am trying to use Siigil as well but that is another story.
