It has done that to me as well. And I've installed/uninstalled it several times thus far. So I guess its normal. So long as the uninstall completed sucessfully, I am sure it is okay to remove it.

@kiltedknite/inameiname: Yep, it leaves the folder by default, that's completely normal. You can safely remove it manually once the uninstall is done .

All my hacks leave a trace somewhere on the userstore (usually in $hackdir/info.txt), so that helps, but for other things, you'll have to rely on your memory. (Or do it the hard way, and check the rootfs for common hacks over ssh).

Thanks, worked well.
ssh? Now it's time for me to stop experiments

Looks like a bug/feature in usbnetwork script, since it simply toggles SSHD status, depending on the pid file (if it present or not). With hard resets, the pid file is being left there, and the script simply tries to turn off the sshd during the startup, once it sees the pid file. And it removes the pid file, so the next restart leads to SSHD started. So, this thing toggles Most probably, usbNetwork script needs to be changed to accommodate auto-starting of SSHD *every* time.

I really wish this was added, as I prefer using SSHD, and it's very annoying having to restart and edit that file's name several times an hour. Surely it couldn't be too hard to fix this, though of course I couldn't do it myself.

Does anyone know if there's a way to run ";debugOn" on boot/restart? That would make using Launchpad to launch into usbNetwork mode a bit less of a pain.

Hi NiLuJe,
need help here to understand.
My kindle is DXG with 2.5.8. I did run jailbreak 0.10.N, then I install fonts 4.9.N K2.
Everything install OK.
I want to know where do I install additional font packages?
If I install more than on package of fonts, how do I exchange them?
The thing is that I was happy with the fonts that came by default with the Kindle. Now, since I install the font package font change.
So my main question is how I go from one font to another?
Mainly, I just want to change the books font, not the fonts of the kindle menu.
Best Regards
Chalito

While I do not really know how to have it run automatically, that ';debugOn' sequence was way too annoying for me, and as such, I use:

usbnetwork.ini

[Actions]

; USBNetwork
Shift N = !/test/bin/usbnetwork

Soooo much easier.

Thanks a lot, but I found that out yesterday. It's way faster than typing both commands, and you don't even need debugon to use it. It would still be nice to have auto-usbnetwork mode, but this is the next best thing.

@sjheiss: AFAIR, that was fixed a long, long time ago (ssh on @ boot).

Well, I tried it with the USBNetwork in the post post, and upon restart it would sho the USB mode picture and words, but neither USBNetwork nor USB mode would work. If I tried unplugging it, it would give me the warning about ejecting the Kindle first (or something like that).

@sjheiss: You wouldn't be trying that with the Kindle plugged in *during* the boot process, would you? If so, don't, that's probably the issue.
