How to launch? KUAL or KOL? |
Currently the easiest way to use this is to create a RUNME.sh file with |
pazos

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Awesome, thanks for your time!
I've just noticed that a bunch of code in the ota manager could go in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/blob/master/frontend/device/kindle/device.lua.
But that's another topic :), LGTM
If you or anyone else wants to try this, here are some binaries (try it at your own risk) |
|
@notmarek: could you update the base submodule as part of this PR? |
Will do asap (like in 40 minutes or so) |
|
Do I understand it correctly that there is no hf package in the nightly builds yet? So I will have to keep rebuilding it myself for now if I go hf way? |
|
There won't be until after there's a proper toolchain. |
if you are interested i setup a temp nightly server here, this build should be from latest master and default to my ota server |
|
@notmarek |
|
So I tried It says, wrong target: Although, What am I doing wrong? |
But I'd wager your base submodule is not updated. |
|
Thanks! I'll try. |
|
Thank you very much again @benoit-pierre ! (I also had a spelling error in the x-tools path, forgot to include hf after gnueabi - I fixed it in the comment above). |
|
Another question. What is more preferred:
Second option is just tedious because I will need to keep moving settings if I move back and forth from hf (in case it doesn't work properly). |
|
After starting the compilation, it gave me an error into 2 minutes (out of 5 maybe): |
|
Can you provide a little more context? |
|
(also mtp is only scribe iirc?)

lso, now that USBMS is MTP, can I connect to PC while in KOReader?
That's a good question, but I don't think so? We still murder volumd,
IIRC, and I assume it's still the thing handling that...
------------------------------
I'm hoping to get to the final toolchains sometime during the next two
weeks, FWIW.

@notmarek Do you guys know if I can try to recover data on Kindle? |
|
I didn't since I only have a k11 on latest and that didn't switch to MTP
(mnt/us gets reformatted as ext4), i don't know how'd you recover the data
but you can try turning on the old usbms gadget and using some recovery
tools on your computer.

Did you have your storage wiped when upgrading to hf firmware?

Thanks! What is this please? |
|
Guys, sorry for an off-topic, but can you please provide a generic example of how to compile stuff for hf? For example, can I recompile kterm? |
|
kterm is going to be a real bitch, I wouldn't recommend even trying ;). |
|
I tried, i recommend not trying unless you are a masochist

Got it :D |

My Scribe update to 5.16.21 hf hotfix worked, KUAL and KOReader work. However, installing usbnet lite with mrpi gives me "package script failed (139)". Can you please have a look if you get a chance? Thank you! |

will look into it

( Although it is possible they added other sneaky ways to meep updating, after all they might also be knowing about our OTA blocking :D) |
|
Thank you Marek! |
What's the actual install log? |
|
Will look later 👀 |
|
Context: I already had usblite installed and working. Files are all still there. It had "Enable on boot" checked, but it doesn't work. No messages during startup neither. Trying to enable it from KUAL says unable (will look if it has log too). But the toggle reports well (usbnet enabled/disabled) Maybe they changed in the FW that usbnet relied on? |
|
Well, that segfault doesn't sound good. (Then again, I have vague and traumatic memories of random stock unix tools segfaulting for no good reason on some FW releases...). |
|
So, I just renamed existing usbnetlite folder in /mnt/us/ and tried mrpi again. I don't know if it is related to the SEGFAULT. Here is the full log when it worked: |

And this is the full log when it didn't: |

The culprit lays somewhere here in the |

md5sum command works fine on the backup etc/config file: What else might go wrong? |

The shell itself might be crashing? I would add a |

Update: it was totally my fault that OTA update worked. After moving to 5.16.9 I just blindly copied blocking commands, but I didn't check that these are just logging commands, not OTA. P.S. Although, there is now another ota |
|
awk might be the culprit in whatever conditions OTA runs it. There was a weird issue like that at some point, but I don't quite recall all the details... |

Everything is in place: base, frontend, docker images. So do we want to add |
