Onyx T68

junke1990 · 09-02-2014, 06:25 PM

Hey Guys,

Something weird, my Onyx T68 isn't recognised on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) but it is on Win8...

Anyway, here is the requested info:

Code:

THe product id of your Onyx is different

['0x18d1', '0x2d01', '0x9999', u'ONYX', u'T68',

calibre is looking for

['0x18d1', '0x2d02', '0x9999', u'ONYX', u'T68',

I will add that product id to the driver for the next release.

junke1990 · 09-04-2014, 01:50 PM

Awesome thanks!

Strange though that Windows does recognise it

Not strange:

It is a Valid USB DRIVE device (which is why Windows can show it as a drive)

Calibre just does not know what to do (as a Book Reader) with it YET

You can currently use 'connect to folder'. The burden is also Currently on you to choose all conversion rules that will be needed.

A device driver links a Device Profile to a device id

Both windows and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) do recognise it as a USB drive and from the way Calibre handles it amoung Windows i"m guessing it sees it there as a default android device.

Onyx (at least this one) has the option to scan only books from the folder "Books" which can not be changed as far as I can tell. Since Calibre is placing everything in eBooks and not in Books I'm guessing that it didn't recognise it as an Onyx reader. Hence the part where I think it's strange that it able to do that on Windows and not on Linux.

Windows and Linux don't know this is an eBook Reader. For all the OS knows, it could be a USB memory stick.

Calibre knows when an eBook Reader is plugged in when the device ID matches a known device ID. The device ID of your T68 is different then the known device ID of other T68s. So when next week's release happens, Calibre will know your T68 is a T68 and will be able to deal with it as you want.

junke1990 · 09-25-2014, 12:55 PM

Any update on this?

Calibre 2.3.0 is still not recognising it.

Guys? still nothing

ahhh np, just glad it's fixed now.

Didn't know it was just a single line or I would have submitted a patch myself

Hi guys, was the issue fixed? I still have a problem with calibre recognizing my Onyx Lynx...

That release (2.5) is 17 revisions old. If you want to find if the issue is fixed you should probably update to the current release to check. (2.22)

theducks · 03-27-2015, 11:39 PM

Ubuntu's repository version was already outdated WHEN THEY release the version of Ubuntu.

Remove that version using Synaptic, then use the command line on the Calibre Linux page.. Your Settings and Library remain

(You will need to use this line for every weekly version update you choose to instal. I made a local copy

)

wratislavianus · 03-28-2015, 04:21 AM

Thanks, guys. It was helpful and really works!

eschwartz · 03-29-2015, 08:45 PM

I will notice that the person who reported the issue (the last time it was reported anyway

) reported it on calibre v2.5 -- the same version you were on.

For the future, see my -- Sticky: Fully automatic calibre installer/updater for linux

Includes a calibre-upgrade.sh (run with sudo to manually upgrade calibre) and a systemd service (if you have a different init, it will instead install a cron job).
