How would I get it so that they are still transitioned between them and then finally the kindle shuts off / goes blank after a given length of time (as in the factory default). Currently my kindle hangs on 1 image indefinitely. |

I think, simply deleting this folder is a bad idea. I need to cancel symlink creation, but I don't know Linux commands. Need your help. P.S. Sorry for my English. |

The same "rm" (remove command) for a link as a file.
If the link is a directory rather than a file: "rm -fr whatever_name" |

@guybrushT: They don't change while the Kindle sleep either, even on a default firmware. Ads, maybe, I'm not familiar with KSO devices, but screensavers, no.
Each 'going to sleep' event switches to the next screensaver in the list, but while the Kindle sleep, it's *sleeping*, nothing changes . |

I take it rm is remove but what is -fr. I found some basic commands here. http://www.kharmer.co.uk/tech-notes/...ands-for-putty but would be interested in more. Thanks |

Google "might" be your friend, while learning those commands. For some commands, you can add a parameter -h or --help, and they will give you some information. EDIT: The kindles do not have a "man" command for the busybox utilities such as "rm". Putty is a windows tool, and windows has no "man" command either. Hence, Google...

If you don't have Linux install with the documentation, try asking google the same man(ual) command. The Kindle runs Busybox, and the versions of the standard commands provided by Busybox are simplified versions of what your google query will return. In this case: -f :: "Force" :: as in "I really mean more than one file" -r :: "Recursive" :: as in "remove all contents before removing this directory". When used together: -r -f or -fr or -rf - - - - That link you found is a really, really poor reference. The very first description is wrong, and it gets worse down the page. A better guide, get a LiveCD (or LiveDVD) of Linux - Those run "memory resident" (it is very hard a harm anything - and if you do, just re-start) and nearly always have the documentation (info and man commands) installed.

@guybrushT: Reflective display, nothing at all like a plasma or a CRT. No burn-in .

Hi all,
I seem to have a folder that was somehow created in the following directory /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600?800 Note the '?' In that directory I also have /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 and /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/adunits to remove the folder called 600?800 and everything in it, would the correct command be rm -fr /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600?800 Presumably this wont damage anything by doing it. Thankhyou |

Quote the name to be safe. Either single or double quotes will do.

Thanks,
do you mean rm -fr "/mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600?800" rm -fr /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/"600?800" or "rm -fr /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600?800" or none of those? Sorry for the complete noob question. |

The line should read:
command options "name" Your first idea is correct, your second might work, the third - toss that one in the bit bucket. No problem about asking when uncertain about any command. It is the people who don't ask that end up posting in the "My Kindle is Bricked" threads. Last edited by knc1; 06-30-2012 at 09:19 AM. |

I definately prefer these "Which of these is correct?" questions much more than the "Just give me the exact commands that I need!" demands that seem all too common these days. Last edited by geekmaster; 06-30-2012 at 09:41 AM. |
