Calibre won't see Kindle 2

jesscat · 07-09-2009, 12:03 PM

I'm a new Calibre user, and no matter what I do, Calibre will not seem to "see" my Kindle 2. My computer is recognizing it just fine (and I can save files to it using Calibre's Save to Disk function). I've tried plugging in the Kindle when Calibre is already open, and opening Calibre when the Kindle is plugged in; I've tried resetting the Kindle, and using different USB ports for the Kindle. And I've tried it all with version 0.5.14 and beta 0.6.0b11. Nothing is working. I feel like I must be missing something obvious or doing something wrong. I've searched through old threads but found nothing to help. Any suggestions?

Post the results of running the following command in a command prompt, with your Kindle connected

calibre-debug -d

Of course I spoke too soon... I just uninstalled Calibre completely, then reinstalled (0.6.0b11), then restarted the computer (which I had done before - just without the uninstall/reinstall), and now it's showing up. Thanks, and sorry for the false alarm - I'll report back if there are any further problems.

However: now when I click on the Preferences button in 0.6.0b11, I get the following error:

TypeError:argument 1 of QComboBox.findText() has an invalid type

(I can open a new thread for this if you think I should...)

Can you post the log you get by clicking details when you get the error

Sure, sorry, should have done that before:

Will be fixed in next beta
