getting lots of unhanded exceptions at startup
Hi,
I had installed calibre, set up my library path, etc. and added a bunch of books to the library. (Ubuntu 9.04) Then for various unrelated reasons I had to uninstall everything, and had to delete the directory where my metadata db was kept - and now after I reinstalled when I start up I get hundreds of this error: u'pubdate' Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/calibre/gui2/library.py", line 554, in headerData return QVariant(self.headers[self.column_map[section]]) KeyError: u'pubdate' and the cpu is maxed out. What didn't get cleaned up correctly? Ned |

You have some sort of conflict caused by two differing versions of calibre installed. One from 0.5 series and one from 0.6 series

Delete the folder /opt/calibre and /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/calibre
These folders may be different on your system. Use locate to find them |

Here's what I know at this point.
I uninstalled the ubuntu release packages, and tried installing the 'unsupported' way - then it all started working. So I gather that there's something going on in the ubuntu 9.04 package that is installing something bad, while the contents of the unsupported package is ok. Anyway, thanks for the help - I think I'm back up and running again with your great product! Cheers, Ned |
