It could be the calibre splash logo that's doing it. I had a similar issue with the calibre 2.0 betas on a virtual Mint 15 (Xfce) installation before. The installation would go OK, but it wouldn't run.

Find the gui.json file in calibre's config directory (probably ~/.config/calibre) and look for:

Code:

"show_splash_screen": true,

and change it to:

Code:

"show_splash_screen": false,

Worth a shot anyway.

I have no issues at all with calibre 2.x on Mint 16/Cinnamon, for what it's worth.
