My attempt:

- after reboot: ssh into the device

Findings:
- most of the files in KoboRoot.tgz are not installed:
- no '/usr/bin/qndb', nor '/mnt/onboard/.adds/nickeldbus'
- however, there exists an empty 'etc/dbus-1/system.d/'com-github-shermp-nickeldbus.conf'

Workaround?
- tried the official latest release from github
- also a fresh build from 'main' branch leads to the same effect.

Could it be that Kobo started to block this? Anything I can check to trace the update process?

Ok, this is a new one for me...


My immediate thought is user permissions, although I'm not sure why this would be the case.


The upgrade is performed in the init script at
Code:
/etc/init.d/rcS
. I see nothing in there that would explain this.
