Editor/Viewer crashes repeatedly on opening

Linux Mint 21 / Cinnamon 5.4.12

The Editor/Viewer crashes repeatedly on opening. Eventually after several attempts it does run successfully, and as expected.

This problem started some time back in version 3 and has continued through veriosn 4.

Time to install version 9.x directly from the main calibre site.

Close calibre then open a terminal and enter:
Code:
sudo apt install xcb-cursor0
Now open calibre in debug mode using:
Code:
calibre-debug --gui
in the terminal open the Viewer then paste the debug log from the terminal.

bernie

edit:
your debug should look close to this:
Spoiler:
Code:
$ calibre-debug --gui

GLX: Disable GBM because Ozone X11 is not available. Possibly caused by missing libraries for qpa-xcb support.
GBM is not supported with the current configuration. Fallback to Vulkan rendering in Chromium.

Definitely use the Official (Calibre site command line version).
I am now running on Mint 21.3 with very little issues (all with PI type things).
(the packages are still at Calibre 5.x)
