Just upgraded to Calibre 1.29 (from 1.28) and I can't open any books from within the software itself. (Main window.) When I double-click a book Calibre just freezes, and I have to manually force it to shut. The same happens if I choose 'edit ebook'.
However, if I click on 'open containing folder' from within Calibre, manually navigate to the book I want, and open it via 'Open with ebook viewer' (which I understand -- possibly wrongly -- is part of Calibre itself), it opens just fine. Ditto, if I 'open containing folder' from the main window, right click on the ebook manually, and choose 'open with edit ebook'. It all works fine... it just won't work when I choose these functions from the main Calibre window.
Not sure if this is relevant, but when I open Calibre in a terminal (I'm running Linux Manjaro), I get the following lines...

And when I double click a book (thus causing the freeze), I get...

My current workaround is regressing back to version 1.28 from the repos. But once the repos are upgraded, I suspect I'll be in trouble.
Any ideas, gang?
Many thanks... mel
P.S. Book conversion also causes the same freeze up. I suspect that any function more technical than opening up the interface and scrolling through my books causes a lock-up.
P.P.S. This is all without my Kobo Aura HD attached. This is just basic functionality without any e-reader connected.
