Otherwise, it sounds like https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=221072. And the solution is to restore an image to the internal SD card.
Here is the error message Calibre gives me.

Code:
calibre, version 2.72.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

CantOpenError: unable to open database file

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 88, in run
  File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 506, in _books
  File "site-packages/calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 318, in books
  File "site-packages/calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 161, in device_database_connection
CantOpenError: CantOpenError: unable to open database file
I can still throw books into the device's storage, but it seems as if there's some secret "database" that isn't being accessed. Perhaps it's Ubuntu's fault.

Side note, I had a quick glance at the thread you linked. This Davidfor guy is a PM sending hero.
