One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 14

shotontro · 10-28-2019, 04:57 AM

Hi, do I need to extract the zip file of Plato and koreader and put the powershell file to the main directory of the kobo or any folder on my windows pc?

Frenzie · 10-28-2019, 12:00 PM

You can just extract the zip file to the Kobo's root (as seen from your PC). The powershell script is something that should do this for you if you stick it in the same folder as the zip file.

Success on the Libra! With the Nov. 11 release I'm pleased to report that KOReader is performing splendidly. Thank you NiLuJe.

Folks,
I've just installed the newest KOReader version in the latest Nikel environment. I had got no any issue when installed it but when i tried to load the book for reading, it worked very slowly, taking around a min to load a 2mb Kepub format book for the very first time. It would be no matter for me cause it may take time to load the book at first.
But there was a very serious issue that i couldn't think i can stay with Koreader. It's when i adjust a font, align, margin and anything which related to book format. It takes too long for KoReader to apply the adjustment (5 mins average) which i thought the device was hang/ frozen, but it's not.

So anyone could tell me how to resolve the issue? Or it's just a nature of Koreader when using in Clara HD? Please kindly help!!!

I usually use mobi format & keepub. Things seem the same in formats whatever.

@quan0509: The book you're dealing with is either extremely large, or with an extremely tortuous DOM. (Or it has a weird quirk that CRe doesn't agree with).

Compare with a simple prose novel to double-check.

If you can provide a sample (ideally, a scrambled ePub) in a new issue over on GitHub, that might also help in pinpointing the main reason(s) behind the slowdown.

@NiLuJe: the file is 5.7Mb in epub, it has 12167 pages in font size 5 and Unicode.
is it too big in size?

NiLuJe · 11-22-2019, 01:56 PM

@quan0509: It *definitely* has the potential to trigger all kinds of weird corner-cases, yeah. And it would be somewhat costly to deal with even in the best of cases, anyway.

As I said, worth opening up an issue with a scrambled copy attached

Hi guys,

I've just installed:

Koreader 2019.11
KFMon

on my Aura H20 edition 2.

Unfortunately Koreader isn't able to start and looking into crash.log I have this:

Code:

[FBInk] Detected a Kobo Aura H2O² (374 => Snow @ Mark 6)

 It's a scroll... It's a codex... It's KOReader!

Any idea?

NiLuJe · 12-07-2019, 05:21 PM

@katanel: That looks like an incomplete/corrupt installation.

(resources/info-i.png is missing, which breaks ImageWidget because it doesn't have a sane fallback for that).

Double-check the integrity of the archive you downloaded, the sanity of your device's filesystem, and whether you actually have enough free space left in there

.

OK, many thanks, this time I've installed using normal method and not One click.

https://github.com/koreader/koreader...n-Kobo-devices

Update:

using install.ps1 from first post and Koreader-v2019.11.zip file I had a successful installation.

Koreader is available in the books section and once clicked is lunched but I get this message at the end of the page:

[KFMon] Not spawning koreader.sh: still running!

NiLuJe · 12-08-2019, 02:05 PM

Yep, I'm not so completely insane that'd I'd ask people to install WSL or Cygwin just to run a shell script on Windows ^^.

Don't forget Git Bash/MSYS2 (it's a bit less crazy than Cygwin, runs portably and without admin, and isn't as big as WSL)!

NiLuJe · 12-08-2019, 03:05 PM

@geek1011:

@katanel: I smell a rat.

. Completely reboot your device, and try again. I'd also be glad to see the KFMon log (After the reboot, open the KFMon "book", then send me the .adds/kfmon/log/kfmon_dump.log file).

Out of curiosity, is your device "clean", or has there been some other launcher and/or invasive hacks installed before?

Nope, it's clean. First installation (from all time :P) was the one with failure (KFMon + Koreader) and no other launchers.

Second time I used One click installer + install.ps1 and everything went fine except the message.

I will do the restart and I will look to send you the kfmon.log

Thanks!

stannie21 · 12-16-2019, 06:23 PM

Hello! Firstly, big thanks to OP for this, very clean and useful!

Secondly, I am wondering if anyone here omitted default registration and went straight to this one-click KOReader/Plato installation? I am getting my Clara HD tomorrow and I want to do the following:
1. Backup the existing firmare by extracting full image of internal SD card.
2. Bypass registration by the slick SQL trick described in https://yingtongli.me/blog/2018/07/30/kobo-rego.html. It says you can get the firmware updates simply by enabling WiFi and clicking on 'Sync now'.
3. One-click install kfmon+KOReader+Plato as described in this thread.

I am wondering if this is a sound. Did anyone take similar steps recently? Thanks!
