Bug 10180

Thanks for the bug report. I will work on an update when 3/cauldron will be back.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Advisory
====================
This update of calibre adds 'python-cssselect' as a require. Without this require, PDF file conversion to MOBI file can't work (mga #10180). Moreover, this new version of calibre 0.9.36 adds support for a lot of new reader devices (and/or firmware updates) and also fixed a lot of known bugs.

Packages
====================
calibre-0.9.36-1.mga3.src.rpm

Steps to Reproduce
====================
- Install Mageia 3
- Install calibre from "core/release"
- Launch calibre and import a PDF file
- Convert the PDF file to MOBI
- Check that it won't works
- Install calibre from "core/updates_testing"
- Restart the convertion and check it works

Hardware: i586 => All
Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs
Source RPM: calibre-0.9.26-1.mga3.src.rpm => calibre-0.9.36-1.mga3.src.rpm

I could reproduce the bug on mga3 i586, but the update candidate won't start.

I too had the same problem on MGA3 32. I ran calibre 0.9.26 Produced the same error

Upgraded to 0.9.36-1 and Calibre wont launch.

I had the same problem to start calibre 0.9.36-1 on x86_64 and I managed to make it run after some experiments. I've just installed python-qt4-help package and calibre began to start normally. Removing python-qt4-help breaks calibre again so it seems like this package has to be added to calibre dependencies.

Thanks all for your tests.
Please test calibre-0.9.36-1.1.mga3

Source RPM: calibre-0.9.36-1.mga3.src.rpm => calibre-0.9.36-1.1.mga3.src.rpm

Please test calibre-0.9.36-1.2.mga3 as I removed modifications (on specfile) not wanted/asked for this bug.

python eats too much RAM when converting multipage PDF to MOBI

Hmm... Honestly I've never used calibre to convert books from one format to another as my PocketBook can read any format I have. But simple testing to convert 912-page book from PDF to MOBI on my laptop with mobile Core i5 CPU and 6 GiB of RAM showed that python eats more that 4 GiB of RAM, system began to swap like hell and the process takes ages. See screenshot attached (sorry for russian GUI).

MGA3 32 & 64

Installed calibre-0.9.36-1.2.mga3 on both arch's No errors
Converted 1 page PDF to MOBI

urpme calibre
No errors

Whiteboard: feedback => feedback MGA3-32-ok MGA3-64-ok

Strange to take so many RAM but I think it's not related to this update request and that we can let this a side for now. Perhaps you can report it upstream no?

Validating


Can sysadmin please push calibre-0.9.36-1.2.mga3 from core/updates_testing to core/updates


Thank you
