Calibre problem

[Dj]

Hello!
I installed Calibre official way (by downloading from source).
No any icon, no way to open files with calibre.
I can only start calibre via terminal.
Any ideas ?

Could you show us your recept

[Dj]

I am confused, what to show ?

How did you build the package

[Dj]

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Hi Dj,
So Good news. I did run the script on my machine. Surprise everything is in place.

Icons and Launcher are in place. This is is very interesting. I will try to build a package.
Means  you will be able to install with cards soon.

BR,
Thierry

Hello Dj,

Make sure first to remove your version of calibre, otherwise you will have a conflict with the binary of NuTyX.

Code Select Expand

sudo calibre-uninstall

Answer yes to remove Icons as well

Code Select Expand

sudo cards sync
sudo cards install calibre

You show me the error message.It will most probably complain of already files in place. That's because calibre-uninstall doesn't make a proper job

BR,
Thierry

Wonderful. I was actually thinking of creating a package for it, as a way to learn packaging. Where can I find the Pkgfile you created for calibre?

Thanks.

Wonderful. I was actually thinking of creating a package for it, as a way to learn packaging. ...

Actualy this package is a very difficult exemple. I had to search a lot for my mistake. They  are a lot of specifics actions done in this package.

So probably the best example to start with.

I would say, start by reading through the all documentation. You can also check all my YouTube tutorials.

Good Luck,
Thierry
