Unable Convert Gutenberg TXT to Mobi
I'm trying something which I believe should be very simple (and which I've managed before) -- converting a Gutenberg text title to mobi. However, I now get the following error message. What am I doing wrong?
Table books has no column named uri RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run OperationalError: table books has no column named uri Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\add.pyo", line 62, in metadata_delivered File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 1214, in add_books File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 146, in run DatabaseException: table books has no column named uri RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\library\sqlite.pyo", line 119, in run OperationalError: table books has no column named uri |

You have not by any chance tried the 0.6 betas and then reverted to a 0.5.x release? That error occurs if you have tried that as the 0.6 release changes the format of the metadata.db file. To eliminate the error you need to go back to using the 0.6 releases, or restoring a backup of the metadata.db file from before you tried the 0.6 release.
Of course I could be wrong about why you are seeing that error and it could be something else entirely? |

Fair enough. It just seemed a bit strange that the error message was complaining about a column being missing that is present in the metadata.db used by the 0.5.14 releases, but is removed if you run the 0.6 beta against that same metadata.db. If the problem is not caused by using the 0.6 beta releases then it sounds like you have a corrupt metadata.db file which is a much more serious issue! |
