Hi guys,
Today, I set up a new Calibre Instance in Pop!OS. Connecting my Kobo Aura One worked perfectly fine, until I realized that I was missing the KoboTouchExtended plugin. Installed that, deactivated KoboTouch and... Calibre refuses to recognize the device. Removing KoboTouchExtended and reactivating KoboTouch could not revert that behavior. Here's the debug:
Code:
Looking for devices...

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I can access the device in file manager, it is properly mounted. I wiped my user config to see, if I broke something - no change. Using WIndows 10, connection works perfectly fine. So... what's that fuss? And what the hell is SYSFS?
Thanks a lot!
