Calibre freezing in debian squeeze
Hello,
I have installed Calibre 0.8.11 on Debian Squeeze, using the binary install. Installation and setup wizard goes apparently fine (the calibre directory in $HOME/.config is created), the splash screen shows up, but then the program freezes. I never get to the main program window. Each time I launch calibre there are always two instances running (maybe right, I don't know). The output on terminal is: -------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 151, in load_store_plugins File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 162, in init_istore File "site-packages/calibre/customize/__init__.py", line 634, in load_actual_plugin File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/store/__init__.py", line 56, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 241, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 251, in refresh File "genericpath.py", line 18, in exists UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 44-48: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 260, in initialize File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 241, in initialize_db File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 210, in initialize_db_stage2 File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 162, in start_gui File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 128, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 151, in load_store_plugins File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 162, in init_istore File "site-packages/calibre/customize/__init__.py", line 634, in load_actual_plugin File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/store/__init__.py", line 56, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 241, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/utils/config.py", line 251, in refresh File "genericpath.py", line 18, in exists UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 44-48: ordinal not in range(128) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Any idea what is going wrong? The program is great and I would be very sorry to be forced to use the old version 0.7.7 bundled with squeeze. Thank you very much |
