Problem with adding books to calibre
Hello
When I try to add books to calibre I get following error message (German): calibre, version 2.74.0 FEHLER: Fehler während des Hinzufügens: Es konnten keine Bücher hinzugefügt werden. "Details anzeigen" anklicken für weitere Informationen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hinzufügen des Buches fehlgeschlagen:Andrzej Sapkowski The Last Wish /home/remo/E-Books/The Witcher Books - Andrzej Sapkowski/The Witcher Books - ePub/01-Short Stories-The_Last_Wish (1993).epub Mit Fehler: Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/add.py", line 379, in add_book File "site-packages/calibre/db/legacy.py", line 217, in create_book_entry File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 61, in call_func_with_lock File "site-packages/calibre/db/cache.py", line 1529, in create_book_entry File "site-packages/calibre/db/backend.py", line 822, in execute File "src/cursor.c", line 231, in resetcursor ReadOnlyError: ReadOnlyError: attempt to write a readonly database The books I tried to add are on an NTFS formatted HDD and in 3 different formats (EPub, azw3, PDF), neither of them work. I have also tried copying the files to my /home partition (I'm running Linux Mint 18 on an SSD), wich didn't help. In the FAQ it says: "Linux kernels mount devices read-only when their filesystems have errors.", but since I have also copied the files onto my main drive (wich im pretty sure isn't read-only), i don't think that this will help (Plus I don't want to f*ck around with my HDD since i'm pretty new to this stuff). Hope someone can help Thanks and greets Ned |

The Read only applies to the Library Folder, not the source of the books.
Permissions you need to have to be rwx at least at the user/owner level of the Library folder (and the entire contents) |

I have to sudo to manage to in the foot. IMHO UAC and SUDO usage for system level changes was a great step forward. I firmly believe |
