@mruser2022: Smells like PEBCAK . IIRC, we should log some stuff in the syslog if the startup script runs.

Which tells me it doesn't even run, so, check KUAL's logs (/tmp/kual.log, IIRC).

What?! I work in IT 20 years and now I'm personally offended, it simply CANNOT be my fault

More seriously, I have near zero experience with Kindles so it is possible I did something wrong. Actually it looked to me like KOReader wasn't even actually launching for same reason. I only followed this rather simple guide I linked in my first post though, that's why I need this forum's expert help so thank you in advance!

As for KUAL logs, how can I get them? I don't see a tmp directory anywhere on the device. Actually I don't see a KUAL directory anywhere - is that OK?
When connected via USBNetwork it doesn't like like I can move around either:

Why is the output of ls so strange? What is the radius...

Kindle's visible storage should be /mnt/us/ , so KUAL dir is just the extensions/KUAL, etc..

Temp dir is just /tmp , or /var/local/tmp/ (don't quite remember, I don't have Kindle anymore).

Ah okay nice, I tought I read there was no way to block updates above version 12 something (my PW is on 14.1.1).

Do you have a link to this extension?

Hmm, looks like fbink is not compatible with the old Kindle Touch. @NiLuJe, is this fixable?

@mruser2022: Is that the content of /tmp/KUAL.log?

@mergen3107: Unless he's running in diags or on FW 5.0, it should be supported just fine (since pretty much forever ^^).

The initial SSH screenshot is fairly weird indeed.

Maybe you should try higher FW, like 5.3.2 or 5.3.7?

Some of the hacks don’t work on 5.3.7 AFAIK, so tread carefully if you use them now

I can try, this device hasn't been upgraded in ages. I also never turn wifi on.
Could you please point me to where I can find Kindle FW upgrades?

@NiLuJe in your post on Open Sesame! you say there is no save way to connect any kindle that is above FW >= 5.12.x!. I am with my PW5 (2021) on 5.14.1.1

Or is this old news and is there a new solution? A KUAL app that @mbrisco is talking about.

I would also not mind losing the total Kindle interface, I only use KOReader now anyways. But I read non native books and would love the google translate to work

Look for Kindle Touch (4th Generation), then the file on Kindle, safely unplug and go to Kindle Settings - Menu - Update your Kindle (IIRC)

Thank you. While updating from 5.0.x to 5.1.0 I got 006 error twice on step 2/2. I guess I'll try this method now.
