"FileNotFoundError" Calibre doesn't start
Hello guys,
i wanted to start calibre today after maybe 3(?) weeks of not using it. But it didn't start. I tryed uninstalling and reinstalling it, but nothing changed. On reddit i read, that deleting the folders with calibre in /appdata/local and /appdata/roaming. I uninstalled calibre, did that, restarted the pc and than reinstall. Again nothing is happening. calibre-debug -g gave me this message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "runpy.py", line 198, in _run_module_as_main File "runpy.py", line 88, in _run_code File "site.py", line 83, in <module> File "site.py", line 78, in main File "site.py", line 49, in run_entry_point File "importlib\__init__.py", line 126, in import_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1204, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1176, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1126, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1204, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1176, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "bypy-importer.py", line 279, in exec_module File "calibre\__init__.py", line 23, in <module> File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1176, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1147, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "bypy-importer.py", line 279, in exec_module File "calibre\constants.py", line 424, in <module> File "calibre\constants.py", line 174, in cache_dir File "calibre\constants.py", line 131, in _get_cache_dir File "os.py", line 215, in makedirs File "os.py", line 225, in makedirs FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden: 'C:\\Users\\wolfg\\AppData\\Roaming\\calibre' Why does calibre not creat this folders anew ? And how can I force it to do so? Friendly greetings |

That is the system call to create those folders that is failing. Make sure
C:\Users\wolfg\AppData\Roaming exists and has correct permissions |

The folder exist, but what permission for the folder do you mean? Every other program can write new folders in there. And if I manually create the missing folders it wants to acces the file "global-atomic-_h7f0zqn".
I am really clueless, but thanks for the quick reply |

Then you have something on your computer interfering with calibre, reboot in safe mode and it will likely work, to confirm.

It worked in save mode and the missing folders are finally back, but when I start it in regular mode, I get the message:
"calibre, version 7.17.0 FEHLER: Kann keinen temporären Ordner erzeugen: Kann keinen temporären Ordner erzeugen, Calibre kann nicht gestartet werden "Details anzeigen" anklicken für weitere Informationen." "ERROR: Cannot create a temporary folder: Cannot create a temporary folder, Calibre cannot be started “Click on ‘Show details’ for more information.” Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\__init__.py", line 1223, in __init__ File "calibre\ptempfile.py", line 122, in base_dir File "tempfile.py", line 368, in mkdtemp FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden: 'C:\\Users\\wolfg\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\calibre_2 581d9cm' I followed the instructions in this post, but with no effect. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=178552 After I changed the temp directory, it first seemed to be working, but than I got this message: calibre, version 7.17.0 FEHLER: Contacting calibre failed: Failed to contact running instance of calibre, try restarting calibre Failed to connect to Listener at: \\.\pipe\CalibreGUI-wolfgx with error: QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name b'launched:["calibre.exe"]' So i tryed to reinstall again and now I'm back to: calibre, version 7.17.0 FEHLER: Fehler beim Starten: There was an error during calibre startup.

But in regular mode I´m stuck with this message. It seems that another program/utility/service somehow blocks calibre from working corectly, but I can't find the right one. And the last changes I made on my PC since the last time calibre was working, were setting up a Ubuntu USB boot drive and the installation of the ecosia browser, which I have already uninstalled. But I don't have to use calibre that much, for now I can use it in safe mode and I won't reset my windows just for that. If you have more input I would be glad, but it`s not urgent. Thanks for your help |

@LittleZombie if you have an antivirus program running turn it off and see if calibre works. That is usually the problem.
If that's not the problem, turn off everything that starts with your system one-by-one until you find which program is causing the problem.You do have to reboot between turning off a program from starting. |

@JSWolf
I already tried that. But now I did it again and somehow this time it worked. And after turning everything on again it still works. Don't ask me why, but thanks. Best regards |
