How to install koreader on Kobo Aura H2O using Linux?

snafus · 10-21-2024, 02:24 AM

Hello,

when trying to start koreader on my device, I get the message: "generator error".

I've tried re-installing it, using these commands:

sudo apt install wget unzip
cd /tmp
wget https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1...r-v2024.01.zip
wget https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1...ix_install.zip
unzip kfm_nix_install.zip
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

However, when using the command:

wget https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1...r-v2024.01.zip,

I get the error message "precondition Failed".

Does anyone know how I can re-install Koreader?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Precondition failed means wget is sending something, presumably info about a relevant local file, that conflicts with the file on the server.

In any case, the recommended method is https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=314220
