kobo weather app

useruseruser · 03-09-2014, 12:57 AM

So did anyone successfully get the weather app installed from here ? I managed to telnet into my device, I extracted the python libraries from here and have the app (all the root files from the site) extracted in my .kobo folder (which, I assume, is the successor of the .apps folder mentioned in the link) but am at a loss about what I should do next. Running

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=mnt/onboard/.kobo/python/pygamelibs/ python

results in a file not found message. Running weather.py from the bitbucket link using SSH results in a "Permission denied" message even though it looks like I'm in as root and I don't know what the equivalent of SUDO is for running files using SSH...

Yeah, I'm something of a noob that's patient enough to get somewhere. I would appreciate any help or advice with this.

My device is a Kobo Aura running the latest firmware and yes, I backed it up to a 4gb microsd using this method before trying any of this.
