I've reinstalled Calibre multiple times, should i download some Python packages?

Thanks for any help.

Whatever machine you are running on is unable to resolve hostnames via DNS

[monkey265]

Ahh, okay. So should I tweak settings in Calibre? or where

[monkey265]

Oh my god, it is working now. Thanks a lot

[Comfy.n]

maybe try google or cloudflare DNS (8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1)

edit: oh, I see. That's Calibre on Linux, so the links are probably useless
