Calibre Issues

pghaworth · 04-09-2009, 07:41 PM

First off, LOVE Calibre. Great program.

Now for the problems. I am running 5.6 but the problems started about 3 versions back. I'm getting shutdowns even tho' I leave it running. Also, it no longer fetches the news for me unless I force it manually. I'm tired of restarting it and forcing the downloads. Any ideas what's up? I do have an older version without all the problems I can revert back to but surely I can't be the only one having problems like this.

What OS are you on?

pghaworth · 04-09-2009, 11:04 PM

Hi and thanks for responding. Win XP Pro.

Can you start calibre from a terminal with the command

Code:

calibre-debug -g

Let it run and when it crashes post whatever you see in the terminal

pghaworth · 04-09-2009, 11:08 PM

Okay I did that but I got an error message that says "link hasn't been detected" twice. Other than that it's running and if/when it goes down again I'll let you know.

You'll probably need to be in the Calibre directory.

pghaworth · 04-09-2009, 11:15 PM

Okay, thanks.

pghaworth · 04-09-2009, 11:16 PM

I did that and still got the same message twice.

Another thing I forgot to mention. Around the same time that the other issues started, I began getting 3 files for each download instead of one. I got the mobi file for my Kindle, a jpg file and an opf file. I only want the mobi file on my device and on my pc so I delete the other two. I was just wondering tho' why all of a sudden I'm getting the extra files? I know the jpg is the cover file but have no clue what the opf is. Should I be getting 3 files on each news download now?

kovidgoyal · 04-10-2009, 12:11 AM

Are you using Send to device or save to disk to send books to your Kindle?

sirbruce · 04-10-2009, 12:27 AM

Don't delete the files on your computer. Just use "send to device" to send the books to your Kindle.

Jill75 · 04-10-2009, 12:54 AM

It may be that you have set the option of your new calibre to save to disk option than send to device.

pghaworth · 04-10-2009, 10:06 AM

I do both. First I save to disk, single file, then I either send it to main memory or if it's working for me (now), I let the program email them to my device. I see no problem in deleting the extra files on my computer because after they've been sent to my device (the mobi files) I don't need the extra ones. I'm just saving to my pc as a back up.

I do have it configured to save to disk, but I did all along. Now I also email them.

pghaworth · 04-10-2009, 10:55 AM

So far today most everything went okay. I did get this messsage tho'.

Failed to email the following books:
