Installing older calibre version 4.23.0 does not work (linux)
Dear all,
I tried to install calibre version 4.23.0 in Linux (before I had a newer one where the DeDRM does not work) as recommended via: sudo -v && sudo calibre-uninstall && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin version=4.23.0 However, when I do it, I cannot open Calibre at all anymore. When I check with -apt list --installed, I get the following information: calibre-bin/stable,now 6.13.0+repack-2+deb12u4 amd64 [Installiert,automatisch] calibre/stable,stable,now 6.13.0+repack-2+deb12u4 all [installiert] So, do you have any idea how I can get 4.23.0 running? Thanks a lot and best regards, Judith |

If you are doing a binary install apt has nothing to do with it. Uninstall your distro calibre package and then install the binary.

Thanks. That means, there is somehow another calibre package installed, which I cannot open. I would unistalll this via: sudo -v && sudo calibre-uninstall ... but how to install the binary?

I got rid of this distro calibre package and installed the binary as above: Calibre 7.0.26. Then DeDRM 10.0.3... and I still get this message. Now I used the debug-mode and got the following message - see below. In any case, early January, I also tried to install DeASCM as a solution, however, maybe I did it wrong with the Adobe Keys, and this also might be a reason why it does not work? T Any help would be great, as I already spent hours a few weeks ago to find a solution (De ASC, different versions, calibre portable version which always "disappeard" in Linux and did not work ....) and now I tried again and have no idea. his is the only application I use and I did not get running in Linux... Thanks a lot!!!! Best regards, Judith Spoiler:

Best regards, Judith Go the the plugin thread for DeACSM. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=341975 Wrap your log file in a spoiler tag and you'll most likely get more of a response over there then here. |

Dear JSWolf,
thanks again for your help! I understand, that the logfile is too long... for the future: how can I wrap this file into a "spoiler tag"? With the DeACSM, it unfortunately also does not work... anyway, I now found "Adobe EPUB DRM Removal" and this seems to work somehow via Wine, so that I can then transfer the de-drmed files to Calibre... Little workaround... I hope, that this solution will now work longer than any trial period. Let's see.. Best regards, Judith |

Daer JS Wolf,
thanks a lot for your help. I understand, that the log is too long... for the future: how can I wrap the log file in a spoiler tab? (What is this?) Regarding the DeASCM: this unfortunately also did not work... however, I got a workaround with some other DeDRM software via Wine... which I then can insert into Calibre... little workaround, which hopefully will work sometime now! Best regards, Judith |

In Advanced mode, you will see a eye with a X between the YouTube and Map icons. Simply enter your text, select it and click on the spoiler icon.
