My Kobo Touch is on firmware 3.3.0. I have hacked it so I can use Telnet.

I start the web browser (to force Wifi) and use PuTTY to get into it. This all works fine. From Telnet I try a simple

Code:

zcat /etc/images/ghostbuster.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic

and expect the display to change. However, nothing happens at all. No error message but also no change in the dispay.
I tried doing a killall nickel first but that does not seem to make a difference.

Am I overlooking something obvious?
