Ubuntu 16.04

howi42 · 09-19-2017, 05:05 AM

I am running Calibre on Ubuntu 16.04.
- running the Calibre program locally, no problem. I see all libraries I have, can switch between them and add or remove books. But to be able to do this, I have to stop the content server.
- Accessing the content server remotely does work, too.
But I see only the very first library I created, i.e. nothing to switch. In addition,
I cannot change anything, add or remove books.
My user has the permission to do this, but the content server does not give me these options.

Questions :
- how can I make all libraries visible when connectiong to the content server ?
- how can I make changes when using the content server ?

Thanks

Run the content server from inside calibre. Click Connect/share->Start content server

Thank you, that works.
Is there a way to get this done automatically when booting the system ?

As it is now, the server starts through the system calls. i.e. I have to log on the server system, stop the server, run calibre, start the server, stop the main calibre and log off again.

Add calibre as a startup program in your desktop environment.

I did and this works, but the content server sees only my first library.
To be more precise, this is the Exec line from the service :
ExecStart=/opt/calibre/calibre-server "/media/share/calbel/"

So, the server starts and shows me the 'calbel' library.
There is no way to switch to another library.

Sometimes it makes sense to read the manual over again ...
Problem was solved easily - do not add any library path in the service file.
