I'm clueless as on how to compile and install Calibre from the tarball source code.
I'd like to install the program Calibre, which does have a Linux installation, but I haven't the faintest idea how to do it. I don't even know how to find out if I have the requirements or not.
Here is the link, if anyone can shed some light. [URL]
I installed 10.10 on this (new) system a couple of months ago. Haven't had it attached to the network for a couple of months (for viewing documents) Yesterday I did connect, let Update Manager do its thing (installed ~180MB of updates). Everything went fine. Today, was planning on installing Calibre on this and couldn't remember what version I had installed, so I checked...
> System > About Ubuntu now reports that I have 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) installed. I thought 11.04 wasn't to be released until April 2011.Everything running fine (no obvious changes on the desktop at all)...
installed the fedora 12, but dont know how to use the source dvd to install the source package.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently I tried to install calibre ebook management software from the Ubuntu Software center and it installed fine as expected, ran fine from the applications menu as expected (for the initial run) went through the wizard and clicked next. All of a sudden I was presented with a login prompt. I thought I must have hit a hot key accidentally, so I logged in and it restarted fresh not like the desktop was locked. So I ran calibre again and it did the same thing. I uninstalled calibre and went about compiling from source, after all of the dependencies were met and it compiled and installed ran it again and it logged me out again.
System:
Ubuntu 10.10

Gnome 2.32.0

But this is my output of calibre debug device detection

Using openSUSE 11.3 (64-bit), KDE environment. I am very, very new and inexperienced with Linux... I would like to download and read some e-books using my desktop PC. I poked around the Internet with Google and found several recommendations for an e-book reader called Calibre. So I found it in the openSUSE repository and installed v. 0.6.53-3.3.1 using YaST2. But the darned thing does not seem to work -- I click on the icon and nothing happens!!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just updated to Calibre version 0.7.44 in Debian testing, on an amd64 system. Conversion worked with previous version, but now Calibre freezes as soon as I choose convert individual book. When I run top, I see that python is taking 100% of the cpu. The only way to stop calibre, which shows a grey screen, is to kill python. I got this message in the terminal after it shuts down;
[Code]...
If there is not way to fix this, Is there a way I can just reinstall the previous version of Calibre, even though only the new version is listed when I check in synaptic?
I wrote a document using LibreOffice Writer. It has heading styles and a generated table of contents.I saved the document to ODT and as PDF. I loaded the PDF into Caliber as an e-Book.
I converted the PDF to EPUB format for Nook(tm) devices. I stored the EPUB to my 'droid phone and loaded it into an EPUB reader. VIOLA! I can see the table of contents as page #1. I cannot see any other pages in the EPUB. I can read the original PDF just fine.
Q1. What must I do along the way so that I have a useful EPUB? (I don't need fancy just complete and readable.) Q2. Are their things that I need to do to the PDF in Calibre? Q3. Are there things I need to do in LibreOffice Writer or to the generated PDF before I convert it to EPUB with Calibre?
Since I've installed opensuse 11.4 instead of 11.3, I cannot install .rpm packages nor execute updates. I get the following message: "There has been a (probably temporarily) when connecting to the software source/repository" (own translation) details: Media source [URL] does not contain the desired medium So, probably there is something wrong with my software sources. Could anyone give a suggestion to repair this since I'm not a linux expert and would like to install new software on my newly updated machine.

As per documentation, only NETWORK install is supported if the guest is to be installed as paravirtalized.I copied the CentOS DVD in /home directory with folder name centos52 and exported it through NFS. When I run Virtual machine manager and give installation path as: nfs:<ip address of host>:/home/centos52 , the system while trying to create the storage fails and throws following error:Unable to complete install: 'Invalid install location: Mounting location nfs://<ip address of host>:/home/centos52 failed'

Is there any open source virtual machine so i can study the source in order to create my own? i'm gonna write my own, so it doesNT matter if license does not allow further development of the code.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI attempted to install from source. Following the instructions on the gnome-do website verbatim, I received several errors. Gnome-do was installed (in Gnome menu), but would not run. Realizing I was over my head and was out of time, I ran "sudo make uninstall", restarted my machine for good measure, then installed gnome-do from my software manager. It still won't run. Running gnome-do from terminal gives the same error as when I attempted to install from source:

I used purged gnome-do and plugins, restarted, and reinstalled, but am experiencing the same problem.
