[Bug 1884525] Re: Cannot start calibre

2020-12-12 Thread Eli Schwartz
I agree it's not a duplicate, and I don't know why ~juanjo-benages
marked it as such.

The PyCapsule error indicates a faulty build (possibly needs to be
rebuilt for pyqt).

The AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cancel' error is
due to changes in python 3.8 between 3.8.2 and 3.8.3.

Both are bugs, both prevent running calibre, but they're not the SAME
bug and they don't apply to the same builds. Apparently, some people
merely saw "cannot start calibre" and lumped them all together.

[Bug 1790966] Re: Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

2018-10-22 Thread Eli Schwartz
@doko, Arch Linux staff here.

The reason we reverted the glibc commit has nothing to do with
rebuilding electron with bfd or gold linkers. lld works fine, and we use
it in our distribution electron packages without issue!

The problem is entirely due to people who ship proprietary electron
applications containing *old* prebuilt electron binaries provided by the
Electron project. Prebuilt binaries are pretty unfortunate in general,
and the fact that they're broken just goes to show how utterly right we
were to use the system lld when building electron, but, that doesn't
help people who use prebuilt packages!

There's a couple solutions to the problem of prebuilt binaries with
invalid codegen:

- Rebuild all electron applications so they utilize the correctly linked
system electron, including rebuilding the binary node extensions that
are proprietary and don't have available source code. Then  convince all
Ubuntu users to exclusively use these applications from the Ubuntu
repositories. Wait, what system electron? Ubuntu doesn't have one. Also,
that's a lot of applications to rebuild, and how do you know which ones
users need?

- Force all proprietary software using electron, to build their own
updates incorporating the new electron 2.0.8 (that is notable because
the electron build scripts which use a private clang/llvm/lld toolchain,
have updated their toolchain to not use a broken lld revision). Good
luck getting that to happen!

- Revert the glibc commit, which means you're certainly no worse off
than glibc 2.27 used to be, and which lets binaries in the wild still
work, at least for a couple months until more proprietary applications
get fixed.

...

I entirely sympathize with the desire to say "prebuilt binaries suck and
it's not our fault if they're also broken, maybe if their stuff is
broken on Ubuntu they'll be worried enough to fix it pronto".

I'm merely commenting on the options, with the observation that someone
with more authority than me chose to use the patch in Arch Linux.

It is "fix released" for calibre upstream, not Ubuntu. Which is an

no fix. Upstream uses newer qt.

You're using up to date Debian buster but a version of calibre from over 2

Old versions will never ever be fixed. The fix is to use newer versions.

Oh right, the up to date version of Debian is bullseye (did), not buster
(stable).

Buster is indeed distributing an ancient "stable" version of calibre due to
their freeze policy. You'll need to install calibre from the website
instead of from Debian if you wish to stick with Debian stable but have a
modern version of calibre. Alternatively, buster-backports has 3.48 at
least, which is still a year and a half old, but is more recently released
than this bug report...

[Bug 1426171] Re: Calibre content server crashes

2015-06-14 Thread Eli Schwartz
calibre bundles a modified version of cherrypy that fixes this bug. Try
running the recommended calibre binary install from the website. ;)

Ubuntu could fix this problem if it can get calibre's cherrypy changes
upstreamed.


Obviously, that won't fix the problem of Ubuntu shipping ancient versions of 
calibre, but I suppose that isn't a Ubuntu priority.


Aside: See the calibre manual for reverse-proxying calibre-server behind 
apache: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html
Then use apache's auth setup, which is much better e.g. HTTPS

[Bug 1437608] Re: Feature Request - Ability to Edit the Title Fields in Bulk & to be able to append extra information to Titles (in Bulk)

2015-06-14 Thread Eli Schwartz
Two points:

1) calibre already includes a Search & Replace feature in the Bulk Edit
Metadata dialog which is fully capable of doing everything you need it
to do. Use search mode: regular expressions  and mode: append to field.

2) calibre feature requests and general usage questions should be
addressed to the official support forums at:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166

The developer does not look at questions on OS-specific bugtrackers. The people 
who have used calibre so much that they know all the advanced functionality and 
cool things you can do... don't tend to hang out here either. They hang out on 
the support forums.
(The Ubuntu bugtracker is on the other hand totally the right place to go to 
get help with getting calibre to run using a distro package.)

Then this is a bug with the calibre project, not the Ubuntu package for

And as such is a duplicate of bug 1534936

Alternatively, it could be viewed as a bug in Ubuntu's Qt5 package. See

[Bug 705007] Re: Unity has no method to maintain properties of launchers

2012-09-10 Thread Eli Schwartz
Why is it all of a sudden unnecessary to allow users basic functionality
to customize their desktop? The whole unity "upgrade" is a disaster,
this is just one more reason why. Good grief, even Windows allows you to
do this.

Anyone going to the effort of RIGHT-clicking on an icon in the first
place is not someone who will be worried about this "weird" option.

What happened to the idea of an OS useable by both programmers and
users?

I seriously have to google "how to create a launcher by hand in unity"
for this?

Re: [Bug 1960822] [NEW] Calibre (Ubuntu) sets itself as standard-app for a lot of file types not related to it

2022-02-14 Thread Eli Schwartz
Lots of those aren't actual filetypes and are probably being included
because they are just text/plain, which is a valid ebook format.

None of this actually matters, though. It's not really calibre's fault that
it allows itself to be a right-click option to open with.

For all of Linux's many excellent advantages, and even despite Linux's
vastly superior desktop database for handling *allowed* mimetype
associations, the actual defaults system is frankly abominable. Any
mimetype that doesn't have an explicit default set is considered
"unspecified default" and the specification says that your Desktop
Environment is allowed to choose which program to open your file in by
picking it out of a hat.

In practice what happens is that they use the first one listed in the
system cache. This cache is randomly generated and simply installing a
program which doesn't even handle text files, will regenerate the entire
cache from scratch, and shuffle the order, thus changing which program
actually opens text files.

So every time you check, you might see a ***different*** default
application. There's no way to win against this, other than by manually
using "set as default". The problem is not limited to calibre.

For great joy, try installing a program such as Anjuta which declares
itself capable of opening inode/directory, at which point your system may
arbitrarily decide to cause things like plugging in a hard drive or USB
flash drive to launch that program instead of your file browser.
