I tried the following, inspired by one of the comments in another bug report. In a terminal I ran the following commands:
sudo rm -fr /opt/calibre sudo rm -fr ~/.config/calibre After that I manually removed calibre from the desktop starter bar. After that I did an install from the Calibre website https://calibre- ebook.com/download_linux and ran the command headlined "binary install" in a terminal: sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux- installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()" After that all seems fine now.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to calibre in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562291 Title: Calibre starts and screws up the graphical user interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/1562291/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
