Yup. When I look at the KoboRoot.tgz file inside the OCP packages, there is libnm.so. I suspect that since I installed NickelMenu before the first OCP packages, I just never noticed that the OCP packages also installed NickelMenu.

And also try the fix you mentioned

As mentioned by @ShamanNS, my error. The OCP packages do install NickelMenu.

Hmm, that’s interesting then. NickelMenu was supposed to stay up after an update…

But the error message you got suggests that KFMon is the issue. When NickelMenu attempts to run :

Code:

generator : main : kfmon

it fails to populate NickelMenu with the KFMon watch items such as:

Code:

menu_item : main : KOReader : kfmon     : koreader.png

.

Ah, thanks!
I (think) I finally got it.
“NickelMenu” is just a drop-down (drop up? Lol) and that entry in there is kfmon shortcut.
What I need is another script above that was originally commented out.

Got it! Thank you! I’ll try

Thanks everyone!
I uncommented line .adds/nm/koreader and commented out the line in ./add/nm/kfmon, otherwise I had both of them there and I didn't know which one is which.

Hi everyone. I installed Koreader using the one click installer (powershell), how would I go about adding Plato?

DNSB · Yesterday, 01:47 PM

I would suggest installing Plato using the Plato installer in message #1 and the script in message #2. This will install Plato 0.9.42 which should work with a Clara BW.

hey guys. i just bought a Kobo Clara Colour for my girlfriend and stuck with the process. first i updated the firmware then did a reset. then i tried to install manually the OCP-Plato-0.9.42_KOReader-v2024.04.zip package on Ubuntu 24.04. however the NickelMenu appeared but the apps won't load. then i tried the scripted method. same happened. everytime i opened the apps both started to load (dot animation appeared) then after about 10-15 secs retired to the home screen. may i missed some steps?

The script will work for Koreader, but you should manually update using the nightly after installing it on the Clara Colour or BW, from here: https://build.koreader.rocks/download/nightly/

Just extract and replace the existing folder of the sam name.

@naenee cool thanks. that's really fixed KOReader. Plato still crashing. btw my girlfriend just told me that she don't like KOReader... worth to fix it
