Hello Carlos
Thanks for care about this, but even when i try it as root then with sudo, i get the same result.
Probably it´s because i´m using a i686 instead of an x64.

can't you copy the files with Dolphin? calibre can do offline conversion. In fact Calibre is so slow that I usually do so :-( jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When it works (and it does well for me), Calibre is way better. It can do things like adapt the "document" for the specific reader device. On some, you also need to take care of some databases or listings. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I checked several and all say 32-bit, as it should be. And yes, you are right , there are all the needed qt5 libs
Now, about the error message you post above, I can not read it. Please repeat this way:
LANG=C calibre
LANG=C calibre Ungültiger Maschinenbefehl

This way the messages will be in English and we can all read them.
Also, if you are running the KDE desktop, you can try with another desktop. Anyone that is not Qt based.
Probably it´s because of this, that i have installed KDE3 and KDE4 But i tryed it on both and on fluxbox and TWM as well. It´s allways the same. Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Gosh :-( Ok, another way: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=english KDE_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 calibre It's a single line. If the messages are not in English, then please create a new user, with some none KDE desktop. xfce is nice, but others are much smaller to install. Make sure which ever desktop you choose, you set it up to run in English. Then run calibre in it, in a terminal: let's hope we can see the messages in English and we can read them

Maybe some library is interfering. But I also have KDE4 and KDE3 installed, or the main parts. There is another way, then: Install a small Linux in a virtualized system, either vmware player or virtualbox. Install a minimal kde4 (no libreoffice, games, thunderbird/mozilla, etc). And then install calibre inside... If it works, it is also possible to have the program running in that guest, but display outside. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
