Corrupted Library
Hello,
I have been running calibre on Windows. For reasons unrelated to calibre I have replaced windows with linux. Since the calibre library was not on the system disk, it was theoretically not affected by changing the OS. I replaced the boot drive in the process so I still can boot the old windows disk if necessary. I have installed the latest calibre for linux and when I try to connect to my existing library, I am told that it is corrupted. If I boot windows, calibre is perfectly happy with the library. Can anyone explain why calibre for linux thinks that the library is corrupted? Thank you |

You're probably using an old version of calibre that came from the linux repositories. Get the current version of calibre directly from the calibre website.

Two responses

2 - the lib was chosen from the browser open dialog pretty much eliminating the chance of a typo |

Run check library (stages 1. 2, and 3) on the Windows setup and correct any errors:
Then try using library on Linux. BR |

1) You need to post the full error message
2) You cannot share a library folder between different operating systems. They have *very* different file system semantics. The *only* supported way to transfer a calibre library from one OS to another is documented in the FAQ: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...ter-to-another |
