I'm having a similar problem. Error report reads...

calibre, version 5.13.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Failed to upload file named: driveinfo.calibre to ('SD Part2',): 2:PTP Layer error 2002: LIBMTP_Send_File_From_Handler(): Could not send object.
2:Error 2002: PTP General Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.py", line 89, in run

calibre.devices.errors.DeviceError: Failed to upload file named: driveinfo.calibre to ('SD Part2',): 2:PTP Layer error 2002: LIBMTP_Send_File_From_Handler(): Could not send object.
2:Error 2002: PTP General Error

The Kindle and SD card appear as icons on the Calibre menu bar and I can see the basic directory structure but no files (books or otherwise) are shown.

Deleting the driveinfo.calibre files made no difference. I couldn't find any metadata.calibre files.

This is on a Linux laptop. When I try on a Windows laptop the Device icons appear on the menu bar but Calibre then shuts down!

This is not a huge problem as I can move books around easily enough by other means but I was trying to use the USB link to fix a problem with displaying book covers.
