calibre 0.6 cannot detect cybook on Linux

Hanselda · 07-31-2009, 04:20 AM

I just upgrade to calibre 6.0. Now it cannot recognize my Cybook anymore. I am using KDE and the system can handle the Cybook as storage device. The HAL and pmount are installed.

When the Cybook is plugged in, the following error message from the Cybook:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 106, in detect_device

%self.__class__.__name__)
DeviceError: Unable to detect the CYBOOKG3 disk drive.

Any idea how I can fix this?
I am using the gentoo distro.

What Distro and version are you using?

kovidgoyal · 07-31-2009, 01:53 PM

These are again most likely because of outdated kernels (and hence outdated /sysfs )

Sure, debian version stable, kernel 2.6.26.2 amd-64

But, no problem whit versions 0.5.14

markaw · 08-01-2009, 03:08 PM

Try this. Before opening Calibre, see if you can browse the device (Konquerer\Dolphin\Naultilis etc). If you can see internal memory\SD card then try opening Calibre.

Nothing happen...

Don't worry, the possible problem is my debian system.

grep SYSFS /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_PVRUSB2_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep SYSFS
gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory

Thanks for help

calibre's device detection wont work with the deprecated SYSFS interface.

Hanselda · 08-04-2009, 01:49 PM

I tried to recompile the kernel without
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
and
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2

And this works. Thanks kovidgoyal!

sysco · 08-04-2009, 04:09 PM

Me too, compiled kernel without
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
and
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2

And work again, thanks kovidgoyal and all menbers!!

I' happy !!!
