Linux Issue
Using Linux Mint 13 Maya (Ubuntu Precise)
On attempting to run Calibre 2.0 or later, I get: $ calibre Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/splash.py", line 56, in run File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/splash.py", line 87, in _show_message File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/splash.py", line 84, in send File "site-packages/calibre/utils/ipc/__init__.py", line 19, in eintr_retry_call IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited Segmentation fault Any ideas? I've reverted to Calibre 1.48 |

What calibre version? There was an issue with 2.0, supposedly fixed in 2.1. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1360200 and/or Calibre 2.0 crashes at startup under Linux Mint 17

Do you have another python program running? If so then stop it.
Download and reinstall calibre 2.5 using the manual install. Code:
sudo rm -rf /opt/calibre/* && sudo tar xvf /path/to/downloaded/calibre-tarball.txz -C /opt/calibre bernie |

Precisely the same error installing 2.5 manually.
I'm reluctant to upgrade Mint without some confidence that it's going to fix the problem. |

It could be the calibre splash logo that's doing it. I had a similar issue with the calibre 2.0 betas on a virtual Mint 15 (Xfce) installation before. The installation would go OK, but it wouldn't run.
Find the gui.json file in calibre's config directory (probably ~/.config/calibre) and look for: Code:
"show_splash_screen": true, Code:
"show_splash_screen": false, I have no issues at all with calibre 2.x on Mint 16/Cinnamon, for what it's worth. |

For some reason the line
"show_splash_screen": true, wasn't present. So I added "show_splash_screen": false, This made a subtle difference in that the only errors now are libpng warning: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited Segmentation fault Still refusing to run |

Something along these lines perhaps? Sounds identical.

A segfault means qt 5 does not like something on your system. You can get more info by getting a backtrace from the core file, or running under gdb, but generally speaking, you're better off just stick with 1.48 (which uses Qt 4) until you are ready to upgrade your system.
