installed calibre opens, but application is not shown in wine and dissappears

[juscha]

Dear all,

I managed to install Wine, Adobe Digital Editions, gecko, python etc into Wine (I use Linux Mint Debian), and this also shows when I say "wine uninstaller". I use Wine 9.0.

I have now tried to install Calibre portable version 4.23. It installed properly, but I was not able to find the installation in the .wine-folders also not in the uninstaller etc. Actually, the first Calibre disappeared completely when I needed to shut it, and I was only able to re-install Calibre again directly into Programm Files... However, I still cannot find Calibre there and I am afraid, I I need to close it, it will disappear again.

Also, I have the following error message:
aiyudi@aiyudi:~$ 0138:fixme:system:EnableNonClientDpiScaling (00000000000500E8): stub
0138:fixme:win:IsTouchWindow hwnd 00000000000500E8, flags 00007FFFFE2F9E10 stub!

0138:fixme:win:IsTouchWindow hwnd 00000000000400E6, flags 00007FFFFE2F5A80 stub


And when I tried again the "wine uninstaller", it said the following and did not finish:
aiyudi@aiyudi:~$ wine uninstaller


0138:fixme:system:EnableNonClientDpiScaling (0000000000030068): stub

$exit




What should I do? Hopefully, I do not need to reinstall everything again?

Thanks a lot and best regards

there is a Linux version

Thanks for your reply.. I already have the Linux-Calibre-version, but with my current set-up, I do not get the DeDRM work, even though I did everything what was required. I assume, I need to try with different versions of DeDRM and/or Calibre, and one idea of me was to install Calibre via Wine since I installed Adobe Digitals editions also via Wine, rather than using the Linux-Calibre. Any hint what could work would be great! ... and still I wonder, why I cannot install the portable calibre via wine, why it does not create a path...

and still I wonder, why I cannot install the portable calibre via wine, why it does not create a path...

The portable version does not create uninstall data and therefore does not show up in wine uninstaller.
Otherwise it wouldn't be a portable version.

When I run "calibre-portable-installer-7.23.0.exe", the first question I get is where to extract the files to. What folder did you select here?

[juscha]

Thanks for your explanation. The first time, I took the default, which was under the imaginary Z-drive in wine.
The 2nd time I tried to install it in C-drive in wine in Program Files... however, I was not able to restart this portable version. When I tried to re-install it in those places it said, it is already installed... but how can I start it?

[jkfloris]

You can start the version in "Program Files" as follows:

Go to the folder where you extracted Calibre

Code: Select all

cd "${HOME}/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Calibre Portable"

Launch the program

Code: Select all

wine calibre-portable.exe
