Calibre start at boot on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
Can anyone please help me get Calibre or the Calibre server to run when Ubuntu 12.04 boots?

I've tried following guides on Google but can't get it to work.

This should be possible to accomplish by writing
"calibre" (without quotes) at the end of the file /etc/init.d/rc.local.

Take a copy of the original file first so you can restore it if it messes things up

The simplest method is:
  • open the start menu (press the Windows key)
  • in the search box, type "start"
  • click on "Startup applications"
  • on the new window, click on "Add"
  • enter "Calibre" in the "Name" box
  • enter "/usr/bin/calibre" (or whatever path is appropiate) in the "Command" box

You can find out the path to calibre by typing "which calibre" on the shell.
