Onyx Boox Poke 3

[Solo1959]

Has anyone had any luck getting the Onyx Boox Poke 3 to connect to Calibre on Linux?

I can access the device in the file manager: mtp:/Poke3/Internal shared storage/Download/

But Calibre doesn't seem to see it.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

On linux multiple programs cannot connect to mtp devices simulataneously. Make sure your file manager/desktop environment doesnt automount the device, and calibre will be able to connect ot it.

Thank you very much Kovid for your quick reply. Yes, this will most likely work. Now I have to investigate how to do this :-) It's simple I'm sure, but not easy to figure out how to do it. I will do my best and let you know how it works out. Thank you again.
