I managed to get past the startup screen after making sure I was fully up to date, but still got it to segfault once in the setup wizard screens. It may just be upstream issues and nothing we can really do, not sure yet.

Works for me.
The setup went OK, Calibre Quick Start Guide opened fine.

Hi Dan, please post the output of

gdb calibre
r
(wait for segfault)
bt full

That doesn't work or I'd be one step ahead of you. :/ calibre is a Python script, not an executable. I'm not sure which process is segfaulting.

@Dan
is there no equivalent program to gdb for Python?
or you can use

$ gdb /usr/bin/python2
$ (gdb) run /usr/bin/calibre

What's that calibre-debug thing that needs ipython?

I kinda left this one hanging- haven't been able to reproduce because I haven't fired up Calibre in a bit, but I will let you know if I see any problems soon otherwise I'll just close this as upstream buggyness/user error.
