Since Calibre v 0.9.14 PW mounts read-only!
Since I upgraded to ver. 0.9.14 I haven't been able to connect my Kindle PW (firmware 5.3.0) to Calibre via USB on my Linux laptop. I have an older version (0.8.something) on a Windows laptop that DOES connect to the PW just fine.
It appears the PW is mounting read-only. WTF? If there is file system damage on the PW wouldn't that show up when mounting on Windows as well? BTW, I also have a Kindle 4 that has no problem mounting on Calibre. Output of debug: calibre 0.9.14 isfrozen: True is64bit: False Linux-2.6.35-32-generic-i686-with-debian-squeeze-sid Linux ('32bit', 'ELF') ('Linux', '2.6.35-32-generic', '#68~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 28 17:09:33 UTC 2012') Python 2.7.3 Linux: ('debian', 'squeeze/sid', '') USB devices on system: [['0x4f2', '0xb071', '0x1544', u'Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd.', u'CNF7129', u'SN0001'], ['0x1949', '0x4', '0x100', u'Amazon', u'Amazon Kindle', u'B024150224730404']] No disabled plugins Looking for devices of type: MTP_DEVICE No known MTP devices connected to system Looking for devices...

Did the sudo fsck.vfat -y /dev/sdb1 thing but it didn't fix the problem. At least it told me where the corruption was. I was able to mount the PW on a Windows box and do a Disk Check there. The corrupt files were in .Trash-1000, so I deleted that whole thing and now Calibre connects to it. YAY! I was so afraid I'd have to reset the PW and reload all my books.
the check is in the mail!! Last edited by EightWeight; 01-15-2013 at 01:53 PM. |

This "feature" can also end up taking non-trivial amounts of space on flash media (kindles, USB sticks, etc). When it was filling my wife's mp3 player up I deleted the dir and set her file manager to not use trashcan/recycle functionality. |

Yes. I use Linux Mint with the Nautilus file manager. That's what creates .Trash-1000. This is the first time it's ever screwed me though!
