One of those things that currently (KSM 06) do not work correctly is the poweroff script. The poweroff screen is displayed upside down on Aura HD, Aura H2O, and maybe Aura. The reason for this is that I tried to improve the script. There has always been the option to display the KSM power-off screen also when powering down from nickel. But with the exception of the Kobo Touch, all devices showed the screen upside down, if powerd down from nickel (I did not document this very emphatically and do not think many people used this option anyway). My attempt to solve this problem unfortunately caused the power-off screen on HD/H2O (and maybe Aura) to be turned when powering off from KSM.

How to improve:

If you are not interested in displaying the KSM power-off screen when powering off from nickel, you can replace .kobo/kbmenu/onstart/poweroff.sh by the old script (which I re-upload in this post) to get rid of the problem. (Edit: This script is now included in KBStartMenu_06_update01b.zip, which you can find here.)
If you are a HD/H2O owner and would like to help improve the script, please consider running this test.

-----------------

Another problem concerns switching between nickel/koreader and koreader/nickel. Markismus reported that on H2O koreader is being displayed upside down. Now my question is, whether this is also happening on other models (I know that it works correctly on Touch and Glo). If the problem is showing on HD and/or AURA too, is this a new problem (KSM 06), or was it always there?
