hmm i'm stumped. the version of pyqt being used in libprs500 is obviously linked to a pre 4.3.0 qt. I don't see how though. try checking out libprs500 svn https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net/wiki/Development
(delete the libprs500 .egg file from /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages first) |

i just tested it on a kubuntu box and i had to compile and install pyqt 4.3 manually to get rid the the qregistermetatype messages. BUt after that it works fine.

Kovid, where is the Linux libprs500 database kept? I'm running into a problem where libprs500 tells me a book is on my reader already when it's, in fact, not there.

~/library1.db
Must be a corrupted book on the reader. the next release should fix that issue. |

v0.3.93 is on its way to the servers with support for creating collections on the device. The interface is considerably more powerful than in the connect software. It's based on the concept of tags. Whenever you upload a book to the reader with tags, collections corresponding to each tag are automatically created. You can edit the collections in the reader view by editing the tags.
The code for this is completely new and has received only the most rudimentary testing, so it's likely crawling with bugs. There have been a number of other bug fixes and code optimizations. |

Startup Crash
Kovid,
I installed 0.3.94 today on an Ubuntu 7.04 system and tried to run libprs500-beta with the following error upon startup: Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/libprs500-beta", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('libprs500==0.3.94', 'console_scripts', 'libprs500-beta')() File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/main.py", line 555, in main File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/main.py", line 53, in __init__ File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/main_ui.py", line 104, in setupUi File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/library.py", line 360, in __init__ File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/library.py", line 360, in <genexpr> ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Thanks again for a great suite! --Tom |

Released v0.3.95 with the ability to download news feeds with a single click. Currently supports The BBC, The New York Times and Newsweek.
@oddtom: That bug should be fixed in 0.3.95. |

Man, I feel bad responding about these bugs on Ubuntu. I hope you don't mind. The stable gui and CLI tools work great, which I'm happy about since I don't have to run Windows.
Here's the deal: The new version fixed the startup bug. It imports the ~/library.db into ~/library1.db just fine. However, libprs500-beta locks up when the Reader is plugged in and produces this error on the console: Code:
QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'PyQt_PyObject' (Make sure 'PyQt_PyObject' is registed using qRegisterMetaType().) Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/libprs500/gui2/device.py", line 52, in run TypeError: argument 0 of signal QThread.connected(PyQt_PyObject,PyQt_PyObject) has an invalid type QObject::setParent: New parent must be in the same thread as the previous parent QFont: It is not safe to use text and fonts outside the GUI thread Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xf2ee)!

Love the automatic downloading of newsfeeds, simply brilliant.
A great companion option in the GUI would be the ability to paste in a website URL and have it put that website directly on the reader. |

@oddtom:
Have you installed pyqt 4.3 and qt 4.3 on ubuntu? I develop on gentoo. This line Code:
Make sure 'PyQt_PyObject' is registed using qRegisterMetaType() @sammykrupa: Yeah the reason I haven't done it is that most websites aren't suitable for automatic conversion into LRF, so I don't want to give users the impression that they can enter a URL and have it just work.

Sorry Kovid. I thought I had the right versions of python-qt and iibqt installed, but I should have paid closer attention to the package information. Currently, though, libqt-4.3 conflicts with 4.2 in aptitude and there are a number of programs I depend upon for the latter, so I guess I'm going to have to just wait for the next update to Ubuntu until I can try out the beta gui. Ah, well. Thanks for the help and patience. --Tom |

I think most of the bugs are negligible in Kubuntu Gutsy. I can't get an rss feed that doesn't cause my reader to crash while formatting, however.
