I had a difficult time with Calibre today on my Arch Linux installation. I installed 7.42-1 and imported a batch of epub books. Everything seemed to work fine. I had imported the same batch on my Windows and Sabayon machines, so I know the books are clean. I then imported a second batch of books. After that whenever I tried to open the Viewer a window would appear briefly and then disappear. I can no longer view any of my epub books. I tried the calibredb commands to check and restore the library. I tried saving to disk, deleting and then re-importing, and then finally I tried uninstalling and importiing the first clean batch again. Still the problem persists. Are there settings stored somewhere on my machine that I can clean out so that I can get a fresh install without any previous errors clouding the picture?
