No manual entry for calibre
nicholas@gondor:~$
nicholas@gondor:~$ ebook-convert
Command 'ebook-convert' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install calibre
nicholas@gondor:~$
Installed via flatpak because:
1.) calibre is, or at least wasn't, in snap
repo
2.) have had problems with the apt
version in the past
more of a flatpak usage q than specific to Ubuntu. Probably a calibre
or flatpak
man page will explain where or how to launch the conversion script -- but which man page?
tried:
nicholas@gondor:~$
nicholas@gondor:~$ flatpak run com.calibre_ebook.calibre.ebook-convert
error: app/com.calibre_ebook.calibre.ebook-convert/x86_64/master not installed
nicholas@gondor:~$
nicholas@gondor:~$ flatpak run com.calibre_ebook.ebook-convert
error: app/com.calibre_ebook.ebook-convert/x86_64/master not installed
