Calibre crashes with “Segmentation fault” (core dumped)

I am using Ubuntu 16.04. LTS and I have calibre installed. Unfortunately, it doesn't launch anymore and crashes on startup without any error message. When I launch calibre from terminal (to get some more info), all I get as answer after the crash is:



Segmentation fault (core dumped)



What to do?



Thanks a lot for your help!



Cheers
ijon

can be closed. updating calibre and stopping to rely on original sources did the trick. now I am running a binary from calibre itself.



just go here, download the library and stop hoping that the version within the ppa-system will work again: https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

  • Oddly, I've never used the version from the Ubuntu libraries - I have found that Calibre is updated pretty often by the developer.
