Problem inserting rar'd html - on linux

hairybiker · 10-11-2009, 06:02 AM

I have a couple of books that are rar'd multi-page html.
Under Linux (Mint 7,32bit, Calibre 0.6.17) it imports but shows no book after it is imported.

Thought I would try under my virtual xp, and it works fine...

So possibly a fault in the unrar proceedure or the opf input.

Ticket raised #3752

How did you install calibre?

Using the script from your web site.
i.e.
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"

Accepted the defaults.
The windows one was just the windows installer.

I have a licensed version of linux rar (rar labs version) installed, and can open rar files no problem using the gui tools.

Run it as

calibre-debug -d

ina terminal and post the output when importing your RAR files

All I got then was:
calibre-debug

Oops should be

calibre-debug -g

Note the -g

Pah! of course it isn't doing it now. Next time it happens I will post a debug.
