/mnt/free shows the content of the internal memory of the iLiad - that means /books and so on. Of course I will help to find out whats the problem. If you tell me how to connect to the iLiad and what to do I will try to give my best. |

First you'll need to install an SSH server onto your Iliad, search for dropbear [1]. Then run it and annotate the IP of your Iliad. Use a ssh client from your computer to connect to your Iliad. In Linux/Mac you can use "$ ssh root@iliad_ip" from a terminal. In windows you can use putty, a free wonderful SSH client. [the first time you connect you should change the password, be careful to remember it, [1]] Connect to your Iliad and change to the root directory where ToolBox was installed, export your DISPLAY settings to the IP of your Iliad (192.168.2.8 in my case), and run the program from the command line. For example: Code:
root@ereader:~$ cd /media/card/Programs/Toolbox/ root@ereader:/media/card/Programs/Toolbox$ export DISPLAY=192.168.2.8:0.0 root@ereader:/media/card/Programs/Toolbox$ lua _files/Toolbox.lua | ./_files/xx -p [1] https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37040 |

I was following this thread
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=12 but my IP is still 127.0.0.1 so for sure something is wrong. I will go for a new CF card to reflash my iLiad, maybe I screwed already something up. |

I's a good thing to have a terminal in your Iliad, install xshell if you haven't done yet. Then you will be able to check network status. Type next on the Iliad terminal: Code:
# ifconfig -a You should have a valid IP of your local network in eth0 or wlan0 in order to connect. As your only IP is 127.0.0.1 it looks like the Iliad haven't network activated. Then, to check if SSH server is running: Code:
# ps -efax|grep dropbear Hope it helps, Iņigo |

So I think it is the firmware which is causing those issues, not the CF-Card. BTW I'm glad there are folks around making these great apps for the iLiad. Keep Up the good work Greetings, André Heijkoop Netherlands "He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever." |

Well, I bought today another CF card, this one works. To be on the safe side I tried to reflash with cf-card-contents from iRex BUT: apparently reflashing worked fine but after the device was restarting it stuck in the boot screen, nothing happened, even reset didn't work. The log file on CF Card was somehow damaged, I couldnt read it. But finally I could manage it to format the device, no its downloading softwareupdates. This time I will only install the development package, a shell, unbrickable.inst and the toolbox, nothing else (for now *g*). We will see in some hours or tomorrow if I can get it to work Last edited by Gonzo62; 01-17-2010 at 07:18 AM. |

I exported the display settings as you described - of course with my IP :-) It did not work with the lua command, the screen was blinking once on the iLiad and I got this warning: ********************************** (Toolbox.lua:975) : GtK-WARNING **: cannot open display: 7.027: ./_files/xx: Done ********************************** Then I tried it with "path to _files/run.sh" and it started the Toolbox on my iLiad. I clicked "File Explorer", the file explorer opened and showed the content of "/mnt/free" - as I already mentioned this is the content of the internal memory containing the folders /books and so on. I can click on one of this folders i.e. books and its opening without problems. If I'm clicking in the menu bar of file explorer on "free" in the path "/mount/free" its going on top of the folder free. If I'm using the button "Bookmarks" in the bottom right corner to go to: /media/cf /media/card its working. But as soon as I'm going in "Bookmarks" to "/" or clicking in the menu bar in the path to "/mount" Toolbox is closing. So apparently the internal memory is mounted as /mnt/free including all subfolders there, the cards are mounted as /media/cf and /media/card. But its not possible to go to the root itself. I tried again pviewer and browsed through all folders, its showing /bin /boot and so on - the complete root directory. In /mnt/free theres the internal memory mounted as in Toolbox already shown. I have to stop testing now, some strange and pretty huge and for sure blood sucking insects are already flying around me because of all the light I turned on for seeing the iLiad screen clear See attached file for all details about running normal, "File Explorer" and "System Information" Hope it helps you in finding out the problems. |

Code:
#export DISPLAY=:0.0 I installed a newer busybox package some time ago (v1.7.2). This new busybox includes more powerful commands. For examples, * in sysinfo, I use this code to get a list of running processes: Code:
# top -b -n 1 -d 0 Code:
# df -k Could you try both in the Iliad terminal (or connected with SSH) and post the results. Browsing to / in my Iliad also crashes FileBrowser, I need to check it. Thanks for your help, Iņigo |

Hmmmmmm, as far as I remember "export DISPLAY" needs the computer name or the IP address so I think "export DISPLAY=:0.0" will not work. But I will try it next time when I connected to the internet with the iLiad.
df -k is working as it should in the terminal on the iLiad. top -b shows "invalid option", "top -d 0" is working normal. |

Yes, I can confirm this, as I only use the iRex supplied busybox version. I always crashed when accessing sysinfo too! Thanks for confirming it wasn't just user error...
Funny thing though, after I got my iLiad and started loading all the wonderful community-inspired programs, I installed the newer busybox AdamB ported and it (perhaps in combination with some other incompatible pre-2.12 software) caused my system to reset (and somehow wipe out my firmware 2.12). So I stayed away from it when I reflashed back. I don't recall if I used the latest BusyBox v1.7.2 that AdamB had ported, but I will probably give it another shot.

Hi Iņigo!
I have instaled you fantastic Toolbox on my iLiad 2nd Edition wiht 2.12 firmware but I have no success with some points. First I would like to tell you what I did: I downloaded and installed your software as you recomend in first post, but as "System Information" didn't work, then I followed your recomendations. I installed "lua5.1-iliad-1.6.6.ipk" via "xshell in stand alone mode" doing: dpkg install /media/cf/Programs/lua5.1-iliad-1.6.6.ipk Then I copy sysinfo.lua in /Programs/Toolbox/_files/modules directory as you say in other post... But after doing all, still no success... What I have doing bad? Can you help me, please? I think your Toolbox software is very, very usefull but I can't install properly on my device... Thanks in advice! |

That's to check if default busybox's df command accepts h flag, which Toolbox is using. Iņigo |
