Ok i give up for today after only 18 hours of bashing head against a kobo

(16 of them on kvnc)
What i have done is installed pbchess_2017.06.13_kobo and gotten usbnetwork working fine.
Then downloaded the zip file from the first post unzipped it and moved the kvncviewer folder to my kobo H2O.
Now comes the problem WHERE are that folder supposed to go?
I have tried it in /mnt/onboard (which is where it lands when copying from windows to the root of the drive folder) also tried it at .kobo.
Also moved it using the pbchess filemanager to / (yes root).

When i then try to run kvnc using usbnetwork and putty using ssh (telnet does not work only getting a refused connection error) i get the same error msg (regardless where the kvnc folder is).
The error is

Code:

[root@(none) kvncviewer]# ./luajit vncviewer.lua 192.168.2.1:1
./luajit: ./ffi/framebuffer_linux.lua:122: unknown bpp value for the mxc eink driver
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'error'
        ./ffi/framebuffer_linux.lua:122: in function 'open'
        vncviewer.lua:3: in main chunk
        [C]: at 0x0000bd31

Do i need to change any of the bits_per_pixel lines around the 122 line?
Or is it something with this?
-- it seems that fb.finfo.smem_len is unreliable on kobo
-- Figure out the size of the screen in bytes

Or something completely else?

And yes i´m 99,9% lost when it comes to programing and linux terminal but can copy/paste, and research (google) for hours before asking stupid questions (unlike most people).
