Cannot get Calibre setup on Proxmox LXC.

The_Real_Fayz · 02-28-2024, 08:15 AM

Hello, my previous thread was closed, and I am unsure why. I am having trouble getting Calibre to install and run for me. I am on LXC 15 or 16 now, as I have tried multiple guides, and install methods, but none seem to work. All roads lead to the same issue.

In my research on this issue, I came across this post that mentioned needing libnss3.so, so I have tried installing it as well, but that did not help.

Code:

sudo apt install libnss3 -y

kovidgoyal · 02-28-2024, 09:25 AM

From looking at the errors in your posted output. You are missing

libnss3.so

You have no locale set.
You are running as root for some reason?

gbm · 02-28-2024, 10:58 AM

Try:

Code:

sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0

Code:

Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Actually, I think it would be best to put spoilers around the code blocks. IT['s a lot less of a mess if the log is long.

(never thought of doing that.)

And now your libnss error is gone, as expected. Now you need to fix your locale. Read the error messages when you run calibre.

Thank you, I needed you to tell me to read... Clearly, I did not understand the error or I would not have posted it, but now I see what people are talking about when they reference the attitude that comes with support if you are new to this. I have figured it out but maybe let others support new people if you cannot have any compassion and desire to help someone understand...

Perhaps you should try walking a couple of kilometres in Kovid's moccasins before commenting on his lack of compassion and desire to help. A simple search using Google, Bing, whatever for 'linux locale error' would lead you to multiple pages on using locale to display your current locale and on how to set your locale. You can add the Linux distribution and version to narrow down the answer.

A quick search through the calibre forum shows that while Windows and MacOS users constitute 81.1% and 14.6% of calibre users, the 4.3% of Linux calibre users have posted about far more installation issues than that 95.7% does.
