When I run sysctl from the command line it's there, Here's the syntax/help it's providing me:

Code:

$ sysctl
usage: sysctl [-bn] variable ...
       sysctl [-bn] -w variable=value ...
       sysctl [-bn] -a
       sysctl [-bn] -A
       sysctl [-bn] -X

Does this release have support for the Kindle DX?

Colaveare · 06-11-2009, 12:31 AM

With the Latest beta version (0.6.0b3 with vista) I just got 2 different error messages

First is that when I click the "Click to browse books by Tags" it crashes calibre.

Quote:

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception

TypeError:argument 1 of QAbstractitemModel.createIndex() has an invalid type

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre\gui2\tags.pyo", line 130, in parent

Type Error?: argument 1 of QAbstractItemModel.createIndex() has an invalid type

Second is that sometimes when I restore from tray I get the following error message with all my books that have a x.xx in the series. (happening with 0.6.0b3 on Vista) and the only way to make that error message disapear is to close Calibre through the Task Manager...

Quote:

Value Error:invalid literal for int() with base: '6.50'

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre\gui2\library.pyo", line 559, in data File "calibre\gui2\library.pyo", line 538, in series File "calibre\ebooks\metadata\init.pyo", line 66, in fmt_sidx

Value Error?: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '6.50'

Both Tickets have been opened.

Found another issue with 0.6.0b3 (Vista)

It seems that I cannot Maximize Calibre anymore.
Even when right clicking on calinre in the taskbar maxime is greyed out.

opening another ticket.

Also seeing the 'Click to browse by tags' issue, though it doesn't crash OS X, just puts a never ending stream of errors. I see QT errors all over the GUI though, but most I can click through to get the GUI back.

Also seeing an issue with Lit -> epub conversion. Instead of using the metadata and cover specificied in the database it uses the information that's hardcoded in the lit file.

Lastly, a feature request. I'd really like to have uncompressed OEB as an output format in the GUI. This makes it easier to edit the HTML converted output for chapter detection, etc before I convert to the final target output. The command line already allows this, but it seems like the GUI precludes it.

kovidgoyal · 06-11-2009, 02:09 AM

The GUI is designed around the concept of files, it doesn't handle ebooks as folders which makes uncompressed OEB output a little too painful to implement in the GUI. As for the sysctl, it's a path issue, what does

ls -l `which sysctl` give you?

Can you opena ticket and attach a lit file that shows this behavior?

@Colavaere: you're bugs will be fixed in the next beta

I need the output of running

calibre-debug -d

with the Kindle DX connected to Windows, OS X and Linux computers to add support for it to calibre. However, there is already a conversion profile with settings for the Kindle DX, so you can produce books optimized for the DX with b3

ldolse · 06-11-2009, 03:16 AM

OK, if uncompressed OEB is out then compressed would be ok (uncompressed was just a minor convenience). The main reason I'm asking is that when I just converted a lit file to epub I got a bunch of arbitrary file splits (which I believe were done during OEB->Epub conversion). If I could have gone in and massaged the html after Lit->OEB I could have marked the chapters, that way the final splits would have then been on chapter markers, which is more sensible. It's also easier to edit and search across one complete html file than many little ones at that stage.

Regarding sysctl location, here's the info:

Code:

$ which sysctl
/usr/sbin/sysctl
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/sysctl
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  63824 Oct 28  2008 /usr/sbin/sysctl

I'm assuming the above are just the default Mac location/permissions/attributes, I've never intentionally messed around with this one.

I'll open a bug for the lit file with that behavior.

kovidgoyal · 06-11-2009, 04:03 AM

There's a conversion option to disable file splitting.

QubyB · 06-11-2009, 06:49 AM

Was looking forward to new version which would communicate with my UK 505.

Alas I get lots (tens) of errors with library operations like removing books, loading books, and even more when converting books. Error message is same as described by Colavaere.

Also the app hangs when I click the "Preferences" button. I have to close it after Vista's "not rersponding" msg.

running calibre beta3 from the terminal gave me no output when i was sending books. is there a -verbose switch or something like that?

No, I was hoping there was an ignored error (they are printed to the terminal) that would help me diagnose this issue. Unforunately, since I can't reproduce it, I'm not sure what else to do.

Got an error yesterday after setting some custom conversion settings in the "Configure calibre"

The error I'm getting is listed below. I didn't do anything special just set the default conversion attributes for the different formats.

Once I closed the dialog box I got this message, and now I get this message every time I try open the dialog box. Also the move to options are enabled they are all greyed out

I'm noticing the same error with Lit conversions to epub, with the covers.

This should be fixed in b3. What move to options do you mean?
