Calibre not detecting Kindle 4
My System: I am running Calibre 0.8.56 along with the plugin Kindle Collections 1.7.10 on an Ubuntu 10.04 laptop.
The Problem: When I connect my Kindle 4 (and it mounts properly on my system), Calibre fails to detect it. Additional Information: I launch calibre from the command line with "calibre". The following is written to the terminal while Calibre opens: Code:
grandero@grandero-laptop:~$ calibre Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 264, in refresh File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 253, in raw_to_object File "plistlib.py", line 103, in readPlistFromString File "plistlib.py", line 78, in readPlist File "plistlib.py", line 401, in parse File "xml/parsers/expat.py", line 4, in <module> ImportError: /usr/calibre/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so: undefined symbol: XML_SetHashSalt Code:

However I wanted to be able to manage my Kindle on the road as well, so I decided to install it on my laptop. I installed it with this command: Code:
sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/usr')" Code:
library_path = u'/home/grandero/Calibre Library' One final observation: There are three files present at the root of the Kindle's file system: driveinfo.calibre, kindle_collections_path_cache.calibre, and metadata.calibre. Does Calibre expect one Kindle to always be connected to one install of Calibre? Thanks in advance! |

Thanks, but I wasn't asking about DRM removal. Is this an autoreply?
