Comment 1 Need Real Name 2010-10-09 16:35:46 UTC
The workaround is this:

echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nexit 1' > /usr/bin/calibre-mount-helper ; chmod +x /usr/bin/calibre-mount-helper

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2010-10-09 19:36:47 UTC
Hum. Seems the patch to enable the mount-helper broke. ;( 

I'll dig and see about getting it fixed up. 

Thanks for reporting this!

Here is the thread I posted on upstream's message board:
 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101935

It seems he doesn't think much of any distro's calibre packages. I don't know whether it's something that can be worked out :/

WFM thanks. Karma thing done.

Btw (separate bug probably), I get lots of these when I close calibre using the X close window button.

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2010-10-11 17:16:07 UTC
Yeah, I have seen that as well, but not managed to fix it. 

Basically it's getting an EOFError from other threads when shutting down sometimes. ;(
