Hi,
I've recently moved to Linux from Windows and have been using Calibre without issues. Yesterday I had cause to reinstall linux, but after installing Calibre 0.9.12 I started having graphics issues (icons disappearing in Unity and desktop wallpaper disappearing after reboot). Afterwards, the UI disappears altogether. I have tried several times from a clean install and the same problems occur.
I was using an earlier version of Calibre before the reinstall yesterday, which worked well.
Here are the steps I followed:
- clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit, with no updates.
- no other packages installed (seems like everything I need is already installed).
- install Calibre as per the instructions on the Calibre web-site (and using the default install directory).
I would welcome some troubleshooting tips.
I am willing to install an older version of Calibre if someone can show me how (I can download the older versions from Sourceforge but I think I need to "install" rather than simply untar'ing the file).
Here's the console output for the Calibre installation:

You can automate future calibre installs by specifying the
installation directory in the install command itself, like
this:
sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main(install_dir='/opt')"
Change /opt above to whatever directory you want calibre to be
automatically installed to
