B11 is loading fine, seeing the UK Sony Reader but

fails to convert to RTF with following error

argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, not None

Looks like that RTF file is missing in the library. Try adding it again.

There is a bug in the www library calibre uses that causes it to not close open connections. Try increasing the number of allowed file open handles. At a terminal:

Code:

ulimit -n 2000 && calibre

mdavidson · 09-11-2008, 06:16 PM

Thanks, the ulimit fixed it

kovidgoyal · 09-11-2008, 11:19 PM

released b12 which fixes the windows crash and a couple of minor regressions.

birch01 · 09-12-2008, 09:53 AM

I installed beta, 12, tried to do a batch edit. After that tried to add a book and my whole library got deleted.

I restarted the program, now when I try to add a new book I get this error:

Hmm that's strange. I don't see why adding a book should delete your library. Delete the ebooks folder and the folder ~/.config/calibre to reset everything. add a few books and then try adding that one again. Does it happen again?

birch01 · 09-12-2008, 11:49 AM

I tried deleting the .confiig/calibre and adding a book, can't do it. Then I uninstalled it from /opt/calibre and installed the latest stable again, added a few books. Closed the stable and installed b12 over it. Started it from console and here's the output:

What can I do? I can't try to replicate the bug till I can add books again.

kovidgoyal · 09-12-2008, 11:58 AM

You need to delete ~/.config/calibre *and* the folder you chose for your ebooks.

Ok, I did that. And when I started it again I got:

I have no idea what could be causing this. Will let you know if I happen to somehow get it to work.

kovidgoyal · 09-12-2008, 01:19 PM

I'll upload b13 in a couple of hours that will fix that particular error, though it seems like there's some other underlying problem.

jpenglish · 09-12-2008, 03:05 PM

Hi, Kovid...

I'm not yet seeing any support for conversion to epub in build 12 of the current beta. Is this forthcoming?

kovidgoyal · 09-12-2008, 03:44 PM

Not until after this beta series is done. I want to release 0.4.84 and then a relatively stable 0.5.0 for people that don't like to upgrade often

The code's mostly there. It just needs integration and testing.

bluesnews · 09-12-2008, 09:05 PM

With the B13, I get the following error when I try to add books:

Trying to figure out if I did anything wrong regarding the previous post,
I've deleted all the books in the library and tried to add them recursively from a backup.

I've previously used the "save to disk" function in 4.83 and in b13, I am trying to add them recursively (one book for directory) and I get the following error:

unpack requires a string argument of length 2

The LRF files all open in the sony reader software.

Thanks in advance
