Errors Starting Calibre 3.0 in Linux Mint 18
I cannot get the 3.0 to run in my Linux desktop. All previous versions ok using normal binary install script.

I have tried a 'normal' overwrite install. It does install with no noticeable errors, but will not show up/open. My resource monitor shows "Calibre" and "Calibre-parallel" processes running.

I then did a reinstall of 2.85 and everything runs normal again.

Next I did the "isolated install" script and ran calibre from the command line per the instructions. Here are the errors:
Code:

A ctrl-c will terminate the process ok at this point.

Nothing unusual about my Linux install as far as "BadWindow" errors go, as far as I know. Is there a debug command that may help with this?

Thanks.

A ctrl-c will terminate the process ok at this point.

Nothing unusual about my Linux install as far as "BadWindow" errors go, as far as I know. Is there a debug command that may help with this?

Thanks.
Installs and runs ok on my Mint 18.1 system.
use
Code:
calibre-debug -g
to start in debug mode.

This is the cmd I use to install calibre:
Code:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda x:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main('/opt')"
Check your display settings, go to the next setting down in size.

My normal desktop font is 12. Changed that to 10 but it didn't change anything.

I then changed my display setting from 1366x768 1120x720. Unfortunately my big screen monitor didn't like that and now I have a black screen, even after a reboot. Am using old laptop to reply while I figure out how to restore my original display settings in linux...

I did run the debug -g mode, but need to get back to a linux desktop to get those results.

Not using VNC or such that I am aware of. Plain jane Linux Mint 18 that all previous versions worked well with.

Love a nice, simple 'monitor.xml' to edit to get my display back!!

When I run it with calibre-debug -g, here is the initial output I get. The remainder past this is just a repeat of the list of errors I showed above:

Those errors all come from Qt, presumably Qt 5.6 which calibre 3 uses does not work with whatever window manager/X server you are using. Not much I can do about it. I suggest sticking with 2.85.1 for now.

How can I find out what version of QT is being used? It looks like I have both of these installed:
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56 Apr  5  2016 qt4-i386-linux-gnu.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 Apr  5  2016 qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 May 12 11:45 qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
Perhaps if I can force it to use qt4?

I would really like to not revert to Mint 18.1, but it may be the only way to get Calibre 3 to run.

calibre comes with its own copy of Qt, which is version 5.6.2 for calibre 3.0 and (IIRC 5.5 for calibre 2.85.1)

Thanks Kovid

I also just checked my Mint version and it is 18.1, just like @patrik has, and his works. The only difference I see is that I am on kernel version Linux-4.8.0-56, and he is on Linux-4.8.0-54.

I show 54 is still installed, so I may try uninstalling 56 and see if it will revert to 54. Hopefully it will run then.

Update: Removed 56, rebooted, confirmed 54, but Calibre 3.0 will still not display; same errors with all the invalid/bad window errors.

I'm running Cinnamon, so that could be the problem.

I'm also running Cinnamon.

I don't think it matters, but my "get calibre" uses a different url than the one shown above.

Code:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"
Please let me know if you like me to check something in my system to compare to.

Kernel: 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.3.1)
Desktop: Cinnamon 3.2.7 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) dm: mdm Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena
