Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

Sorry to start with a problem like this. I've recently upgraded to a 64-bit Linux -- SalixOS 14, by the way -- and all of a sudden I no longer see the book covers in the cover browser OR the book details window. All it shows me is that big "generic book" icon. If I go to the metadata editor and tell it to pull the cover from an ePub file, it complies for the moment, but doesn't save it. I checked, and the existing covers are still on disk under the Calibre Library folder.

I'm using Calibre 1.20 for 64-bit Linux from the official website (the binary install -- I've used the official binaries since the beginning). Tried going back to the 32-bit version, but it doesn't run anymore. It wouldn't be a problem if the covers were at least preserved during book conversions, but I have an impression that doesn't work anymore either -- I need to double check though.

That's about all I can think of for now. Thank you for reading.
