Calibre and Devices

[master-bob]

Hello Esteemed Community,

To begin with the details of the current configuration.

• Debain 11
• Calibre 6.17
• firejail 0.9.72

Whenever I run Calibre through firejail, calibre is unable to detect connected devices.

If I go directly to the installed location /opt/calibre and run ./calibre, calibre will automatically detect my connected device.

I'm not sure how to resolve this, besides just running calibre outside of firejail.

I have searched for issues related to this, but did not find any as I don't have the device mounted.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for supplying details on your configuration. Have you tried disabling the private-dev option that's present in /etc/firejail/calibre.profile yet? Create a ~/.config/firejail/calibre.local file with the below content and try running calibre through firejail again:

ignore private-dev

You can use the same calibre.local file to remove (ignore foo) other options and try to find what is blocking access to your connected device. In case this doesn't help to fix things we might have to turn this into an issue report, but let's wait for that until you can test the above and report back.

Turning off private-dev allows calibre to automagically detect my device.

Thank you for your help!
