Was it complete?

sudo pacman -Syu

Is calibre the repo version?

pacman -Qs calibre

Maybe the terminal produces clues?

Yes it was.

Yes:

local/calibre 7.8.0-2

BTW, I’m using the testing channel.

Running calibre produces no output in the terminal.

A similar thing happens with Telegram’s when try to open an image.

Maybe check gnome-extensions?
They can be a source of confusing behavior.

Hi @cscs

I disabled them all and the issue remained.

Well lets do the system info thing ;

inxi -Farz

I have just run pacman -Syyu to make sure everything is up to date.

This is the output of inxi -Farz:

I’m running Calibre 7.9.0 on Plasma 6.0.4/Wayland, and it works fine.

If you have CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME try to remove it from your environment. This will force Calibre to you its built-in Qt theme instead of searching for external one.

Why are you adding that foreign repo to Manjaro?

10

I want to be able to test nix.

11

I haven’t set that AFAIK. Running

env | grep CALIBRE_USE_SYSTEM_THEME

returns nothing.

12

Today I ran sudo pacman -Syyu and after restarting I have calibre back.

13

Please only use:

sudo pacman -Syu

…when performing an update (Notice, there should only be one y). Using -Syyu as you have been consistently demonstrating, is incorrect, and potentially damaging.

Cheers.
