Hello, I just installed Calibre, but it doesn’t start. It just gives the waiting clock for a moment, and then the pointer again. Does anyone know how I can get this program to work?
Thanks in advance, Frank
Something missing no doubt. Run calibre in a terminal window and see what error messages show.
I get the following:

Thanks in advance, Frank
Hi,
as root: “zypper install python-qt4” should help.
