Nook 2nd Edition not detected in Calibre Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit

[MGMiller]

I have a Nook 2nd edition. It is detected by my OS just fine and I can copy ebooks directly to it using Nautilus. Calibre is installed from my Ubuntu 11.04 repositories (v 0.7.44) and seems to function correctly, except it can't detect my Nook. Any help would be appreciated.

I have run it in debug mode and this is the output:

The Ubuntu version is so far out of date that it has to use a cane and hearing aid :

Uninstrall (your Library is intact) and use the command line found on the Calibre Linux Download page.
(Works fine with Natty)

You might want to install a far more current version of Calibre; not the one from the Ubuntu repositories. Take a look at http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux to obtain the current version (presently at 0.8.7).
