In this message you are talking about the Calibre (Help) on Calibre's Context menu use (clue: Any book in the Library vs any book in the file system).
FWIW Using Ubuntu with the Cinnamon 2.0.14 desktop (which still has a menu), I do see Edit-E-Book with the familiar blue icon under Office
ebook-edit is/should be, in the /opt/calibre folder

The only thing in opt is a Google folder

Thanks Peter, but nothing there (but the Google folder).

But in this case, I imagine it is safe enough to assume default settings apply, also the failure message confirms the folder isn't there.
So it does seem as though it must be installed elsewhere...
In any event, Gregg, I would like to know which version of calibre is installed. Also, try typing "ebook-edit" into the terminal. If it works (opens the editor) then it is installed, just hidden. If it says:
Code:
gregory@OptiPlex-170L:~$ ebook-edit
ebook-edit: command not found
then the editor isn't there. |
Ran the ebook-edit thing, got exactly your 'command not found' message.
My guess: I installed Calibre off Ubuntu Software Center and got an old crapola version that didn't even have ebook-edit. My guess at a solution: install Calibre from the terminal. If I didn't have you guys helping me (and I'm glad I do!) I'd uninstall the Calibre 1.0 using the Ubuntu Software Center's "remove" button and then go here:
http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux and do that first "binary" install. (But I'm going to--wisely--wait to hear from you guys before I do anything. Thanks!)
