At this point, I'm not sure there would be a point to trying further. The Windows installer worked instantly in a WinXP virtual machine in both of my computers. A little googling shows that even many users of Ubuntu (for which there is an installation package have found Calibre difficult to install; I assume that the Ubuntu package is meant to work in your Kubuntu as well. At the moment, I feel well served by VirtualBox.
There is a package? Who knew?
I just install from the command line per the web site: As root:
python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
Take all the defaults. Run the welcome script. Done.
Why in gods name would you run a virtual machine for one package that works perfectly when run natively?
John, We were talking about openSUSE installation. We use 11.1 and I managed to install calibre from build service (though not the latest version) and it mostly works for me. Stan tried the same repository and it does not work. (I start thinking there might be some issue with repositories right now). I will probably try Kubuntu again (tired it already and was a bit disappointed, planned returning to it after I finish configuring all the stuff in my 11.1). -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
