Ubuntu - Cannot Add Books

Kovid, I have been using Calibre for years, thank you!

I ran into the same problem, on Ubuntu 16.04. My version was 2.55, so I upgraded it to 2.60. Same problem:

calibre, version 2.60.0
ERROR: Cannot add books: Failed to add any books, click "Show details" for more information.

Failed to start worker process
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 197, in start_worker
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 185, in create_worker
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 71, in start_worker
File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/simple_worker.py", line 160, in start_pipe_worker
File "subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
File "subprocess.py", line 1231, in _execute_child
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Leon
