Calibre ignoring my tablet (Irulu X1S) - Linux Mint 18.2

[armaggedon51]

I just bought that tablet and Calibre seems to ignore it when connected. Calibre in Windows has no issue with it.

I use Linux MInt 18.2 and Calibre recognize correctly my two Kobo tablets and an old Samsung multimedia player but no luck with this one. Mint recognize it and open the content. It's on MTP protocol like the others.

Anything special with that tablet ?

How about attaching a Device Debug log (from Linux)?

On linux onlya single program can connect to an MTP device at a time. Stop mint from opening the device and you will be able to conenct to it in calibre.

[armaggedon51]

Oh Hi Kovid,

I disable all "connect devices" actions of Mint in the options. The only thing it was doing was opening the device "folder view", no other program. Anyway, sadly it makes no difference.

Like I mentioned, Calibre open the other tablets fine with Mint the default "open devices actions" which is just a main folder view. Hum strange ...

P.S confirm it is the same behaviour in Mint 17.3 for that tablet.

[kovidgoyal]

That error indicates something on your computer is opening the device. You need to figure out what it is and stop it.

[armaggedon51]

Hum no I am not figuring it out. There is nothing different in Linux behaviour between that tablet and the other ones. So we'll leave it to that. I will only use your program in Windows for that one.

Thanks !
