Why do I get this weird error?
Oddly, Calibre gives me this error the second day after I download it. First day it is fine. Second day gives me this error and won't do anything. Third day I reloaded (an update) and it worked fine. Fourth day, I get the error again.
Here it is: attempt to write a readonly database RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\add.pyo", line 62, in metadata_delivered File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 1193, in add_books File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 146, in run DatabaseException: attempt to write a readonly database RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database What does it mean? How do I get it to stop? Is it something I'm doing? |

It means whatever user you are running under does not have write permission to the Calibre metadata.db file. You should carefully check your permissions to that file.

Your calibre library folder is owned by the administrator on your computer. Either change its ownership to your normal user acoount or run calibre as administrator

This is my home computer running Vista. How do I change the ownership of the library folder? Last edited by Evin; 04-12-2009 at 06:36 PM. Reason: typo |

i'm getting the same message but i have my library in my external harddrive since i don't want to risk losing it for xyz reason, so can I ignore it or do I have to put it in my documents anyway?
this is what it says: disk I/O error RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 79, in get OperationalError: disk I/O error Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\tags.pyo", line 44, in recount File "calibre\gui2\tags.pyo", line 73, in refresh File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 812, in get_categories File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 792, in get File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 146, in run DatabaseException: disk I/O error RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 79, in get OperationalError: disk I/O error Last edited by Alphapheemail; 04-17-2009 at 04:56 PM.
