Calibre suddenly won't load, Linux Mint
I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon v17.3. I've had Calibre running on this machine for some time, last using it just a few days ago. Today I go to load it and nothing. I get the initial splash screen and that's it. I don't believe anything significant has changed on the system since the last running of Calibre.
I rebooted, same result. I upgraded to the most recent version of Calibre, same result. I upgraded Linux, same result. I uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre, same result. I used calibre-debug -g from a console and got the following: Code:
$ calibre-debug -g calibre 3.13 embedded-python: True is64bit: True Linux-3.19.0-32-generic-x86_64-with-debian-jessie-sid Linux ('64bit', 'ELF') ('Linux', '3.19.0-32-generic', '#37~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 22 09:41:40 UTC 2015') Python 2.7.12 Linux: ('debian', 'jessie/sid', '') Interface language: None Turning on automatic hidpi scaling devicePixelRatio: 1.0 logicalDpi: 96.0 x 96.0 physicalDpi: 81.5518394649 x 81.6428571429 Using calibre Qt style: True Starting up... I'm out of ideas. Anything I can try or options I can use to get more info about what's going wrong? |

Is it possibly off screen (missing second monitor)?
It may be a corrupt config file. Temporarily rename the (hidden .calibre (config) folder |

It's apparently some kind of corruption in my library. I did the rename ~/.config/calibre and when prompted told it to use my usual default library. Same result. Then I did it again and told it to use a brand new library and it came up fine. Now to figure out what the problem is with the old library. I'd hate to have to re-do all that because I've spent many hours getting it set up just so.
Thanks for the ideas. You got me further along, which is all I could possibly ask. I'll report back if I figure it out. |

You dont need to redo it, you can simply right click the add books button and choose add books from sub-folders one book per folder and point it to your old library folder.
