Progressive slowing down on kobo aura, in text reflow mode
Hi.
On kobo aura (2013) I'm experiencing progressive slowing down in text reflow (pdf). For the first 5/10 pages, the speed of page turning is ok as well as menu response. After some time the device stops responding and I have to force turn off and boot again. Any clue? (Kobo aura 2013, 3.1.1 firmware) |

Could you create an new issue on github with ideally this problem description, a link to the pdf-file that generates the bug, a link to your koreader.log for the entire session between starting of koreader and forced turn off? Please mention that you have a Kobo Aura HD, instead of Kobo Aura (2013). |

progressive solow down on kobo aura 2013
Quote:
The question is that after some pages kobo aura (not hd) becomes so slow (not responsive) that every command is executed with a delay of (increasing seconds). It happens only with text reflow of pdfs (the interested pdf is a small one - 16 pages - Melville's "Bartleby"). Is just like if a sort of "buffer" become full and every command is processed with delay. |

Sounds like a memory issue. Is this the latest release?

aura slowing down in reflow mode
Quote:
I played with this issue and now I know that it is present only if I use bigger fonts. it seems like if bigger is the font, slower is the device, but if I activate only reflow mode without resizing font, the device is fast and responsive thx |

Ken; I might well be wrong, but I don't think that the "killall -STOP nickel" would close any files that nickel had open for writing; it will just ensure that the process is paused leaving all resources that it had open, open.

Howdy all.
I believe I found a way to run koreader and nickel from kobo launcher with a fully operational touchscreen in all. Steps below. Appreciate any feedback. This method involves writing a custom script into /tmp/exec.sh when koreader or nickel buttons are pressed in kobo launcher followed by terminating kobo launcher. When the launcher exits the custom script executes and launches the other software. 1) Add the following script as /usr/local/KoboLauncher/exec.sh #!/bin/sh F="/tmp/exec.sh" echo "#!/bin/sh" > $F echo "exec $1" >> $F chmod +x $F killall launcher 2) Add the following to kobolauncher applications.ini Koreader = /usr/local/KoboLauncher/exec.sh "/usr/local/Koreader/koreader_kobo.sh /mnt" Kobo Software = /usr/local/KoboLauncher/exec.sh "/usr/local/Kobo/nickel -qws -skipFontLoad" 3) Run Kobolauncher from the startup script /etc/init.d/rcS (or other) via the following code, appended to the end of rcS, instead of the default nickel (i left the hinderburg process running at all times): (cd /usr/local/KoboLauncher; while [ 1 ]; do ./KoboLauncherA.sh; if [ -e /tmp/exec.sh ]; then /tmp/exec.sh; rm /tmp/exec.sh; fi; done) & NOTE THE BRACKETS ABOVE!!! 4) To execute koreader or nickel from kobo launcher, press "Koreader" or "Kobo Software" button in launcher. Koreader or nickel should launch. 5) You may have to change /usr/local/KoboLauncher paths above to the correct path where kobo launcher is installed on your device. BTW. Great thread. I am enjoying my hacked linux kobo (which ran android before however it was too slow for me). EDIT: Changed so that koreader and nickel execute directly after pressing the button Last edited by michald; 01-11-2014 at 09:23 AM. |

I was thinking that if the history folder were on the external uSD card along with the ebooks, then you could take your SD card from device to device, running Koreader, and have the same reading settings and position. Perhaps the program could check if there is a .History folder in the SD root and use that one, over the internal one?

Code:
local history_dir = "./history/" I think you could also write the whole thing at that point in the script. Your main problem is probably motivation as your sdcard is only a little more mobile than your reader. With the chance of small things getting lost it is probably even less effectively mobile for reading. Last edited by Markismus; 01-11-2014 at 04:38 PM. |
