Description Dmitry Burstein 2011-02-26 11:57:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Since the last update from 0.7.38 to 0.7.44, the convert process stopped working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.7.44

How reproducible:
Every time I'm trying to convert a single book

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Highlight a book
2.Press the conversion button
3.
  
Actual results:
The CPU usage skyrockets to 100%, the program remains unresponsive

Expected results:
The conversion dialogue to open

Additional info:
My guess: they've bumped the python compatibility version to 2.7, while it's still 2.6.4 in f13. May be this is the problem...

Comment 1 Dmitry Burstein 2011-02-26 12:55:21 UTC
The command line utility ebook-convert works just fine, so the problem could be with the dialogue window itself.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2011-02-27 22:01:45 UTC
With 0.7.45, calibre requires a newer sip to build than is available in f13/f14, so thats why I haven't updated my repo further. ;( 

I have 0.7.45 there now, can you try that one? 

I'll otherwise see if I can track this down...

Comment 3 Dmitry Burstein 2011-02-27 22:42:07 UTC
Sorry, same results with the new one also.
Can I get a backtrace of it somehow? Tried to run it with 'calibre-debug -g', but had no reasonable debug info out of it...

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2011-03-01 04:08:24 UTC
Well, you can attach to it with gdb and see if it can tell you something, or perhaps easier, 

kill -11 pidofcalibre

and abrt might pick up the crash and get a trace.

I'm having a similar problem when trying to convert from any format into .mobi. As soon as I select .mobi for output, it freezes.

If I have .mobi selected as my default output source, calibre freezes as soon as I select a book and choose convert, before the conversion page even opens.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2011-05-30 11:13:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 12:08:28 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
