It is to laugh.

svn checkout http://kindle-explorer.googlecode.com/svn/ kindle-explorer-read-only 'svn' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. (sigh) Whatever happened to, "Bad command or file name." actually, I'm not surprised that I don't have subversion installed, since we use TortoriseSVN. I thought maybe SVN was... maybe it is out there someplace, not in the path. Anyway, I poked hfpop's source.

#define EDITOR "/mnt/us/extensions/leafpad/bin/leafpad"
That reads to my like a define of the **default** editor. Where 'EDITOR' is one of the standard *nix environment variables. Try just resetting it to the path of the editor you want to use when running whatever program: Code:
EDITOR=/path/name/and/file/name/of/editor whatever_program_name |

Hmm... does it not have root access?
Really? If I had to guess that is related to the RO status of the Root Partition rather than any shortcoming in the permissions of the app. So... Launch kterm. mntroot rw That should do it. remember to switch it back after you fiddle: Question: What is it that you need to fiddle about with on the root? Sounds.... unwise.... But meh. It's your device. Don't brick that paperwhite though. NIGHTMARE to unbrick. HTH |

Thanks! That did it. Once I'd entered the command in kterm I was able to use KE to overwrite a png file. Until I had root access I could not do this. What is the command for undoing the root access so I don't mess up. Thanks again!

Thanks. Your mntroot rw info did it for me tho, so I can make my tweaks using KE instead. I am guessing the command "mntroot ro" will undo the access... I will give it a try so I don't mess up my PW.

Sorry I didn't read...
At the beginning I suspected it could be a folder/privilege problem, but when i tryed to access with leafpad text editor i didn't get any error, for example |
