linux install error
hi, developers!
I noticed since a couple of updates that whenever I upgrade calibre (in a Fedora 13 system), at the end I get the following error: Code:
Setting up desktop integration... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/init.py", line 48, in <module> File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/linux.py", line 564, in main File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/linux.py", line 147, in __init__ OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: 'conversion' Run "calibre" to start calibre As far as I can tell, the directory it is talking about (I dont see any other "conversion" dir anywhere else) is the following: /root/.config/calibre/conversion which contains: Code:

delete the directory /root/.config/calibre and you should be fine. It was created because at some time in the past you ran calibre as root

<shudder> Then keep it, and ignore the installer error.
