You might want to try the latest version as indicated by t42 above...

What version of Calibre are you using??

Might well be worth you while to go to the Lenovo help pages.. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht500216 On this page you can put in the machine serial number to get extra support.. https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-b-series-laptops/lenovo-b575-noteboo...

Go into Software sources & change the Mirror from evowise to anything else, then try again.
evowise always shows as my quickest source but I never chose it (chose the next quickest that is more local with me) as I have heard of others, in the past, say that they have had issues connecting to it..

You are welcome, glad it worked..

I believe in..

Menu - Settings - Preferred Applications (under Preferences) - Web - Select Chromium instead of Firefox from drop down menu..

Plug in the flash drive. After a couple of seconds the File Manager should pop up a window showing the content. To play just a single song. Right Mouse click on it & a menu should appear. song.png Select Open With. If VLC is not shown as an option then select Other Application.. & select VLC (toward...

PS. Not sure where to mark it as solved. For now I've added it to my reply post. Go to your first post. Click on the pencil (Edit) icon Edit.png Add the word {Solved} to the start or finish of your original post title. That is then seen by anyone searching the Forum with a similar issue.. p.s. Glad...

don250r VirtualBox automatically want to put the guests (in your case Windows 10) on the same drive as the host (Mint) but you do not have to accept that situation. On my desktop all my guests are actually located on a separate USB HDD. Mint is loaded on the machines' SSD alone & boots automatically...

Strangely, the 2 Google formats actually produce a different result for me..

Using the search phrase VirtualBox first gave me 9,910 results.
Using it after the site name gave me 11,100 results.

Calibre 5.2 on my VirtualBox Mint 20.0 Cinnamon is working perfectly.
All updates up to date.
Have you tried launching it from the Terminal. It will usually give helpful reasons why it cannot start there..

System Settings - Hardware - Monitor
The TV should be shown there as an additional monitor.
Mouse click on the Mirror Display to show on TV what is on your main monitor..

As I said before the Backup Tool will create a .txt file for you...

Backup Tool from the Menu.
Software selection
Back up now.

I think that you are adding a LOT of complication into the situation by trying to link a Windows installation to Mint via VirtualBox. I do both Dual Boot Windows 10 & Mint 19.3 and a Windows 10 guest within Mint 19.3. Both work flawlessly & have advantages & disadvantages. However I am struggling to...

Ah OK.
Not something that I have ever done, but I guess that the secret is in this part of the instructions..
How is that going wrong??

p.s. I guess having Grub/not having Grub is a bit of an irrelevance to it working, just another step if you do.

You seem to have come across a set of overly complicated instructions there!! You certainly have no need for Grub on the virtualbox Windows guest. If you have your original Windows Disk (or the ISO) then this is a far easier set of instructions to follow.. https://itsfoss.com/install-windows-10-virt...

Thank you for your answer but I dont ask where are the icons and what is the path to view and select one but where is the link between a selected icon and the corresponding folder The path indicated as to where the icon resides IS the link that attaches that specific icon to that specific folder. C...

In Nemo.. If you right click on one of the Folders displaying an icon & select Properties. Then right mouse click on the icon a new windows will display the path to that icon. The might all be in one Folder, or they could be in a multitude. It depends where they were placed in the first place. icon....

Not exactly sure what you mean..
but, I use Calibre as my book library. It connects & downloads to just about anything..

If you are still worried about security then do as Schultz suggested earlier & look at using Firejail.

If you have a decent CPU & plenty of memory on your pc then you could also look at installing Windows as a no internet connected VirtualBox guest.
