Editor does not open on 3.29 Mint Linux 17.1

Greg Anos · 08-22-2018, 07:50 PM

All,

I run twin linux boxes (5th gen Intel NUCs) with a KMV switch. One mostly sterile (no internet connection, one dirty - internet machine.) I installed CALIBRE 3.29 on my sterile machine. I try to edit an EPUB ebook, - any epub ebook and all I get is blank screen.

Has this been reported before? Did I leave out something in the binary install? Conversion and reading seem to work fine.

Never heard of it. Note that you have to click the file list ont he left of the editor window to start editing a file. If you see no file list then it was hidden, you can unhide it via the view menu.

Thanks, Kovid. All aspects of the file had defaulted to hidden. Once I turn on the switches, I could get at the editor for the book.
