Hello all,

I am facing multiple issues trying to use my prs500 with calibre. I researched the issues here and elsewhere and the none of the solutions seem to work:

1. prs500 seg faults with the message:
/usr/bin/prs500: line 7: 3698 Segmentation fault $loader "$@"

The suggested solution was to insure that none of the files in /opt/calibre exist in /usr/bin. All the files in /usr/bin are symbolic links to /opt/calibre so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
The command still seems to execute even with the seg fault at the end, so I am assuming that this problem is not as critical as the next one.

2. Trying to communicate the e-reader (with a command like "prs500 ls /") give the following error:
calibre.devices.libusb.Error: Could not read 32 bytes on the control bus.

The suggested solution was to disconnect and reconnect the device, or reboot it. I have done all of that in addition to rebooting my laptop and I still have the same problem.

3. Calibre can't detect my device, but I'm assuming that it is because of the default permissions to access the usb device, so I will try that fix before asking for help, but mentioning it in case someone has any additional hints or ideas.

Thank you all in advance. Calibre came a long way since I last used libprs500.... I hope I can get to use it soon.
