One example ebook which reproduces the problem is Digital Knight, downloaded from this URL: http://www.webscription.net/p-107-digital-knight.aspx. When I selected the MOBI/Palm/Kindle format I was given a PRC file. When loaded onto a Kindle the author metadata is missing. I decided to try converting the ebook to mobi format to see if the Kindle coped with that better, but the conversion of this ebook and a number of other PRC ebooks to mobi always causes Calibre to crash. How to reproduce ----- 1. Downloaded some ebooks in PRC format from Baen website. 2. Attempted to convert PRC to MOBI using Calibre 3. Exception in Python

This is the output I see in Calibre: Unknown codepage 235802126. Assuming Unknown codepage 235802126. Assuming Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/calibre-parallel", line 19, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/worker.py", line 106, in main result = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui2/convert/gui_conversion.py", line 24, in gui_convert plumber.run() File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.py", line 853, in run accelerators, tdir) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/customize/conversion.py", line 216, in __call__ log, accelerators) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/ebooks/mobi/input.py", line 27, in convert options.debug_pipeline, try_extra_data_fix=True) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader.py", line 295, in __init__ user_encoding, self.log, try_extra_data_fix=try_extra_data_fix) File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/ebooks/mobi/reader.py", line 168, in __init__ self.title = self.title.decode(self.codec, 'replace') LookupError: unknown encoding: Looking briefly at the code, the message about the unknown codepage comes from reader.py, line 143. The block looks like this: try: self.codec = { 1252: 'cp1252', 65001: 'utf-8', }[self.codepage] except (IndexError, KeyError): self.codec = 'cp1252' if user_encoding is None else user_encoding log.warn('Unknown codepage %d. Assuming %s' % (self.codepage, self.codec)) So for some reason user_encoding is empty, so self.codec is set to be empty, but when this empty value is passed to the unicode decode method on the title, it causes a crash.
Can you try the newer version in my calibre side repo? su cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/kevin/calibre/fedora-calibre.repo yum clean all yum update calibre This is unfortunately not the latest upstream as f14 has several components now that are too old for newer calibre versions. :(

I was able to convert a PRC file to MOBI without error.
ok, good to know. Will see if it's worth a f14 update.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
