Hi,

I've been using Calibre to make ebooks, and it was to my delight that for one book, I ran it through Calibre and found when I loaded it onto my Kindle that there were chapter marks! I could actually jump from chapter to chapter.

It didn't work for the last few chapters at the end, but still, I was thrilled.

The only thing is, I can't figure out how I did it in the first place and haven't managed to do it again.

Help please? (Calibre works great btw!)

IIRC it will work if you have the TOC detection options setup correctly for your input document.

Oh... >_< what would be the correct options to set up? I really don't even remember messing with anything TOC related so I have no idea how I did it the first time.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Read the conversion section of the User Manual, that's where this is explained.

I'm sorry, I thought I looked through the manual well enough, guess I didn't. Thanks again!

calibre doesn't have support for the hanvon, see http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual...pported-in-app

Apologies if this is a repeat, but I can't see the issue anywhere except in the fault tickets on the Calibre page...

The latest version 0.6.30 fails under 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 - it's complaining about GLIBC_2.10:

ImportError: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.10' not found (required by /opt/calibre/libQtNetwork.so.4)

The only available 9.04 Ubuntu package is 0.4.143, and that will crash if an existing library (I previously used 0.6.28) is selected... which is rather a shame as this means the entire library must be recreated. Damn.

0.6.13 is available in 9.10 but - if installed to 9.04 - segfaults on starting.

I shall play with an upgrade to 9.10 and see what happens.

I don't suppose I can persuade Kovid to roll back a version?

After further investigation... upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 works with 0.6.30, but it has to be installed from Kovid's site.
There's a version 0.6.13 in the 9.10 repositories, but it won't import (at least) existing .pdb and .lrf files - it has the 'no such function uuid' error discussed elsewhere here.

Thanks,

Neil

Previous versions of calibre are available from sourceforge.net

Just untar them into the /opt/calibre directory (or wherever you chose to install calibre)

barnacle · 12-27-2009, 01:35 PM

Ah, excellent, thanks, Kovid.

Might it be worth a comment to that effect on your download page? And perhaps a link?

(And might I say what a fine program, while I'm at it?)

Neil

kovidgoyal · 12-27-2009, 05:30 PM

There's already a note about it on the linux download page

barnacle · 12-28-2009, 05:55 AM

Thanks! Did that just sneak in or was I blind previously? I'm sure I missed it before...

btw - would simply renaming the current /opt/calibre directory provide an immediate backup in case of a new version biting me? I'm assuming all the pointers and links would be similarly named - is this the case?

Neil

kovidgoyal · 12-28-2009, 10:16 AM

yeah it would
