Calibre crashes when I start it

[Kenneth Corber]

I was using ver 2.85.1

I upgraded to a newer version and it won't start up.

calibre, version 3.1.1

Hello Kenneth,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Calibre. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and Calibre have been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1701559
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Calibre better.
