Install/upgrade calibre error (Ubuntu 12.0.5)

[Retepvandijk]

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my Calibre (0.8.38) because I want to install the Kobo plugins.
But I don't understand the error messages I get in the terminal window. I use the commandline from the downloadsite.
Is there an easy solution for this ?

thank you,
Peter

From the calibre Linux download site

If you get an error about an untrusted certificate, that means your computer does not have any root certificates installed and so cannot download the installer securely. If you still want to proceed, pass the --no-check-certificate option to wget, like this:

sudo -v && wget --no-check-certificate -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

You are using an OS that is past "end of life" and is receiving no more security updates. I recommend you update to a newer OS. The latest calibre requires GLIBC 2.17 or higher and libstdc++.so.6.0.17 (from gcc 4.7.0) or higher to run. To check your GLIBC version type the following code into a terminal.

ldd --version

I have EGLIBC 2.15
I will try to install a newer OS.
Thank you for your answer,

Thank you for your answer,

You can go here and get calibre 2.59.0**, it will work with the kobo plugin and with your system.

Just use the Manual binary install or reverting to a previous version at Linux download site.

**last version of calibre that is listed to work with GLIBC 2.15.

It worked, thank you.
