Once again, just check the logs.

The ;log stuff should work (barring the usual post-update couple of reboots), but doesn't really help you run KUAL stuff without basically writing a whole lot of boring wrapper scripts. ;log mrpi is a specially crafted shortcut built entirely as a QoL feature to ease some of the insane amount of hoop-jumping involved in the JB process.
Thanks for your reply.

I actually remember a similar blank screen...

Last year I was trying to get alpine Linux chromium using a guide on this thread. It was working on this KOA3 but it seems that that repository has not been updated since a few years ago and it was meant for slightly older devices. Trying to update chromium and extend the system extension space from 1GB was painful and in the end I just gave up and deleted the whole system.

What really annoyed me the most was the infamous blank screen when I tried to restart from alpine. I either had to force restart it, or, as I found out later, I could simply let it hibernate and then after a really long time (about a whole night of 10 hours) the UI restarted after it exits hibernation.

I'll try that and see if it works, although I believe the reason for causing the blank screen is different in this case.

But all this is by the assumption of me that the Kindle OS would render KUAL useless after the restart. Perhaps I am terribly wrong.
