Impossible synchronisation
I got the 2.8.1 firmware last july and never tried to sync my Glo since. Tonight, I wanted to do so as I've read on my phone and the process is... processing for ever does anyone have an idea of what happen ? It doesn't work with wifi on neither through the kobo desktop app. A known issue ?

I must be particularly dumb as I haven't found anything about that problem. If anyone could point me to a specific thread that is related (or a workaround) it would be greatly appreciated

I'll try first the kobo utilities of Calibre to keep my books' reading status then and try this tip, but last time I checked, my database seemed OK to Calibre. Thanks a lot

Threads about this issue are starting to pop up. It does seem to be affecting several others- I know I am one. I have been talking to Kobo everyday about a multitude of issues, so I'll let you know if I discover a fix.

I first checked my database with kobo utilities pluggin for calibre : all was ok. I tried to store my reading position => ok for some books but not all (I can't figure out why, but at least it worked for the one I was reading, so, so far, it's ok for me). I signed out and signed in again and now the sync is working nicely, why, I must admit, will, I think, remain a big mystery...
I had read a lot of books that I was to manually reset to "finished" (I hate this and couldn't find a way to store this information in calibre, though there must certainly be a way). So, this problem isn't one anymore for me (at least for some time I hope) Last edited by vice-versa; 10-03-2013 at 04:40 PM. |

Yes, that's what matters The books which positions wouldn't be stored where the one I had already read, so I suspect I messed something with Calibre (Calibre being probably guiltless on that occurence, I, in advance, plead guilty )

If I recall correctly, the need to log out and back in has "plagued" several firmware versions, at least for some people. Could be a lot worse. I've had to do a factory reset/recovery/update after a firmware update, and trust me, that was way less fun. Not a big deal, but worrying until it at least reverted to the original firmware, and then I got to wonder whether the latest would screw it up all over again! Gotta Lovit.

One thing I can think of is if you have two copies of a book on the device. It will only get the status from one. Right now, I can't think of exactly which book it would get the status from other than "the wrong one" If that isn't it, but you do work out a pattern, please tell me so I can look into it. Quote:

As for the reading status, I'll try to understand what I messed, but I'm quite sure Calibre is guiltless about it. I don't have so much shelves (it takes about one page and a half on the screen) and it amount to about a hundred books (on or off shelves) so I don't know exactly if it's too much and I have no double books (I checked that) I think I didn't selected them appropriately in Calibre perhaps so their status was not stored or something. By the way, is it "normal" for a book to be shown when I click the SD card button (I was in the "libraray" beforehand) and in the column "in device" (or something like that) but have no green check. Or is it because the book is on the SD card but is not in the library or do I have to try to match it with a book in the library ? It may be the source of my problem. Perhaps I should just delet all on the SD card and resend the books afterward with calibre. I'll see about that later on, perhaps during week-end. |

When you say the sync was still going, I've seen this by Kobo Desktop, and normally end up cancelling it in frustration.
Over WiFi I;ve also had sync's that last a long time. Now do you remember, was the spinner still moving, or had it stalled? If it had stalled that normally means Nickel has died on the Kobo and the sync can never complete. |

I recently loaded some books to my Kobo via Calibre and the first batch worked great. The next day I tried to load more, but Calibre could not see the Kobo properly. After that - I could power on, but not see any of the books I had loaded onto the device. I did a factory reset and went to set up the reader again and it gets stuck at the beginning (spinner spinning, but that's it).
If I connect to Calibre, I get the following error: calibre, version 1.9.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device database disk image is malformed Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 85, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 480, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 343, in books DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed Any idea how I can get this thing functional again? Thanks! GG |
