Suddenly stopped working
I didn't install any updates or anything but when I got on today Calibre didn't work. I run Linuxmint 11
when I try to start from terminal I get this. Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 19, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 362, in main app, opts, args, actions = init_qt(args) File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 43, in init_qt from calibre.gui2.ui import Main File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 30, in <module> from calibre.gui2.widgets import ProgressIndicator File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/widgets.py", line 26, in <module> history = XMLConfig('history') File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/config.py", line 579, in __init__ self.refresh() File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/config.py", line 590, in refresh with ExclusiveFile(self.file_path) as f: File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/lock.py", line 113, in __enter__ self.file = WindowsExclFile(self.path, self.timeout) if iswindows else open(self.path, 'a+b') IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/home/jesse/.config/calibre/history.plist' Help? |

Permissions? Owner? What does 'ls -l' of /home/jesse/.config/calibre show?

I'm the owner. First thing I checked because I had the same problem with Sigil when I first installed it a few days ago. I've also already tried complete uninstall and reinstall from package manager and the binary installation from the Calibre site
ls -l gives me this Quote:

@theducks I don't know but I set them all to executable and Calibre still won't start (changed them back)

Interesting... Basically matches my directory listing and my .py files are not executable. Curiouser and curiouser...

Ya it's really strange... could it be the history file? that's where the error was in the terminal.
Code:
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/home/jesse/.config/calibre/history.plist' Edit: Does it pull from the same directory when using as root? because like it said it'll open as administrator Last edited by Mr. mister; 07-10-2011 at 09:35 PM. Reason: afterthought |

Hmm...?? Your listing shows a 'zero' size for the file. Can you remove it? As root?
Doesn't seem to be required. Just moved mine out of the directory and Calibre starts up just fine. |

Yay! It works now. So happy I don't even mind thinking feeling like an idiot for not thinking of that in the first place.
Thanks man! |
