Bug Description

Calibre crashes *spectacularly* on Oneiric when the "next" button is selected in the setup/welcome wizard. This is the bug referenced in https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/843440 (bug #843440.)

Jon Meek, the reporter of the above bug (marked invalid as it was reported as affecting Calibre itself) and myself believe that the problem lies with the Ubuntu Calibre package. The present version of Calibre from the web site works fine, so we think that either there is a conflict somewhere in the package, or the issue has been fixed in the version of Calibre currently available from the Calibre web site.

Hi,

It seems that you're hitting the same QT bug that appears in the bug I marked as duplicated. Pleas try the workaround described there, as it worked for me.

Thanks,
Fabrice
