It's so hard to setup because of the level of knowledge needed. I don't earn money with this, it is just a publication of code I've written. I don't have time nor motivation to do tutorials for software in such an early development stage, sorry. If I had the time at hand, I'd rather fix lingering bugs in the code (I'm 100% positive there are some).

Hm. For a start, just inserting a "print(...)" (that ... being a variable worth inspecting or just a debug "string") in the relevant part of the code could give more information. Unfortunately, I don't have a kindle anymore which has buttons.

Hello,
new member here! I was trying this tinyapp http://tinyapps.org/docs/e-ink-monitor.html but the last step (3.c) it seems not working: [root@kindle root]# /etc/init.d/powerd stop Stopping Power Management Daemon: [root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.2.1:1 & [root@kindle root]# -sh: /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh: not found What's the problem? Thanks! |

Well, yes, I think the file should be in the correct place because I followed the instructions in tinyapps page http://tinyapps.org/docs/e-ink-monitor.html
OS X Mavericks kindle dxi Software version 2.5.6 I copied the entire folder kindlevncviewer in the USB storage root of the kindle The problem now is that the kindle doesn't appear any more when I plug it with the USB cable, and the battery always displays the lightning (charging) even if it isn't connected to anything. Thanks |

Probably this is a step further
(I added another "kindlevncviewer" in the directory because probably I wasn't supposed to copy the whole folder named "kindlevncviewer" in my kindle root but only the internal folder called the same way "kindlevncviewer"), so, can you tell me whether I've done a step further and what's the new problem? :-) [root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.2.1:1 & [root@kindle root]# com.lab126.powerd failed to set value for property preventScreenSaver (0x3) 25/09/2014 22:46:29 ConnectToTcpAddr: connect 25/09/2014 22:46:29 Unable to connect to VNC server com.lab126.powerd failed to set value for property preventScreenSaver (0x3) Thanks! |

Just telnet into the kindle and try to list that path/filename. ls -l /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh ( that is dash ell == means long -- same as on your Mac) If not there, un-do what you have done and re-read step 2.A (Which means that one directory, found in Hawhill's archive.) Toggle USBnetworking off and the Kindle should go back into "mass storage" mode so you can see the files over the USB cable. (I.E: repeat 3.a-i..ii) |

That's from kindlevncserver, so the software works at this point. Now it's your network setup and/or server configuration you need to fix. The kindle can't connect back to the host PC at this point. Maybe you misconfigured the VNC server, maybe you misconfigured a firewall, maybe the IP settings of the USB network interface. That's where you need to look next.

I might have found a new problem!
I had this working beautifully on one Mac, and then was trying to get it set up on a newer Mac.... I get a funny interlaced image, where each corner of my display is shown in each corner of the Kindle, but it overlaps to show everything... I've attached a picture here: Any ideas what setting I need to change?? Using Vine Server with RFB 3.3... Same settings for everything on both computers... The only difference I know of is that the new computer has a Retina display... Not sure if this is the cause somehow? Thank you!! Last edited by MoyoWa; 10-01-2014 at 07:47 PM.

Try setting the resolution of your computer down, that should help.

Even with the wrong resolution, the picture is supposed to get cropped, not presenting as shown above. I'd suggest to test with another vnc viewer, maybe even on the server machine (connect to localhost then). If it shows correctly, the problem lies on the Kindle side.

What if my mouse's cursor doesn't appear in the screen?

It's the same Kindle that works on one Mac but not the other... Using Vine Server on both computers, but I can try another VNC server. I did try adjusting the resolution first, but no go... My guess will be that it has something to do with Retina, unless someone else has had this work on a newer Mac laptop? Thank you for the swift reply! |
