Comment 3 for bug 1598017

Again, thanks for the quick reply. This is a bit out of my depth. I don't know what you mean by " Can you try opening the driver configuration". I opened Preferences, Advanced, Plugins and I see KoboTouch (2.2.0) with your name by it. I don't know if this is what you meant. If I try opening this, I get a similar error (whether the Kobo is attached or not):

I see the file you mention "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCH.py" but I haven't deleted that yet because I am not sure if I understand " Then configure the driver before connecting the device."

Onderwerp: [Bug 1598017] Re: Unable to connect to Kobo Glo

I made a lot of changes to the KoboTouch driver in version 2.60. Most of them were in the configuration. The error you are seeing is in the code to migrate the configuration. Can you try opening the driver configuration? If you can, make a change to something in it and save the change. This should fix the configuration and the device should connect properly.

If this doesn't work, you will need to delete the existing configuration. This is in the file "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCH.py" in the calibre configuration directory. Delete this when calibre is not running. Then configure the driver before connecting the device.
