I am not sure how to run Calibre in debug mode. Kovid Goyal posted a note as follows:
"There is no debug file created by calibre-debug -g debug output is printed to stdout snd stderr use calibre-debug -g 2>&1 > log.txt
Or relaunch calibre in debug mode by clicking the arrow next to preferences, in which case a debug file will be created and automatically displayed after you quit calibre".

I Do Not Understand The Method "By Clicking The Arrow Next To Preferences". There is no arrow next to preferences. Can you explain how this works and where to find the debug file if the program crashes again?

I'm sorry the information provided is not enough. I guess better luck next time.
IIRC Preferences is a double layer icon (I run a highly customized menu: menu bar, main menu, second menu) Click the first (On main Menu)
The (default) shortcut is: ctrl-Shift-R

NB ctrl-p gets you to the Real preferences screen
