Kobo forma not connecting with Calibre
I have been using my Kobo forma for several years with Calibre (on linux). Recently - last weekend - calibre is unable to connect to the device.
I did a full reset of the device, same result. Linux can connect to the device, I can copy/delete files to the device using linux file manager. But calibre doesn't notice the device.

Using Kobo Utilities: v2.14.0
Calibre: 5.22.0
Kobo software version: 4.26.16704

It's not clear to me what changed. Any suggestions on what to try?

I responded to your duplicate post pointing to the most relevant subforum where you may receive more timely assistance:
