bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/lazylibrarian.sh)"

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Add either ghostscript or PythonMajic/ImageMagic to prerequisites. In order to generate a magazine cover either should be installed. The following quote is from LL documentation. "When we download a magazine, we can create a cover image from the first page. If you don't want covers, put None in here. LazyLibrarian will try to use ghostscript for cover creation if it is installed in your system "path", or if a local copy is found in the lazylibrarian folder. If you have Imagemagick installed on your LazyLibrarian machine and your python installation includes either PythonMagick or Wand we can detect and use those interfaces automatically."

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Also note that I compared a windows version and the the Community version - the system info button on the config tab of the Community version reported that python imaging was missing. pip install pillow fixed that. not sure if I should start another issue as this is also a prerequisites problem. (also not sure what the missing python imaging package was doing - I just dislike error msgs)
