Truus · 10-10-2026, 06:14 AM

Installed!!!! - as for the why, the only thing coming up is: with a freshly downloaded DeACSM_0.0.16.zip file from https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/

After a big

for uncovering what the problem was not,
on to linking to ADE account, and new options that I would appreciate advice on. What do these mean:
-Notify ACS server...
- Enable verbose debug...
- Delete ACSM file...
???

That was a lazy question from me: hoovering over the options shows what they mean.
Sorry about that.

Linux: on old laptop installed DeACSM easily.
On dual-boot Desktop same procedure failed: logfile about it is long and contains lots of personal info.

If anyone here is so kind to take it up - should i clean up the file and send it in?

It appeard you are running a realoly old Calibre: calibre 7.6 (distro calibre is almost always stale.

Go to the official CALIBRE download page and paste the Linux commandline into a console window.

Worked!! (my first sudo

)
Mate installed it but doesn´t update - good to know but how stupid! No link to updates either. That's a problem for Linux forums.

So glad (not linked to ADE yet, tomorrow).
THANKS

You get a notice ON Calibre, but you always have to use the commandline because this is not the (stale) version in the package manager.

There is a plugin called Calibre Updater that will make it very easy to update calibre when a new version is released.

This. Or the Flatpak which is concurrent (usually within 24 hours) of the tarball releases. I've been using the Flatpaks for a couple of years. Yes the code is 100% identical as demonstrated by identical SHA256/SHA512 checksums. Yes the plugins absolutely do work when installed correctly. I walked through a technical proof of this last year or something.
