Hi Lavender, thank you so much for your detailed report!
You hit the nail on the head. The issue was that the plugin wasn't looking for Konsole (the default terminal in Kubuntu/KDE) and was failing to launch the update script before closing calibre.
I have just released v1.2.3 which includes:
KDE/Konsole Support: Added specific compatibility for Kubuntu and other Plasma-based distros.
Fail-safe Launch: calibre will no longer close unless the terminal successfully starts. If no terminal is found, you'll see an error message instead of the app just disappearing.
macOS Refinements: Small internal changes to improve the manual update flow.
Please try this new version and let me know if it works on your Kubuntu 25.10 system. Your feedback is what makes this plugin better!
