Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks

[NiLuJe]

Why, yes, there is indeed: I'm told that there was a fire at the datacenter.

EDIT: Burned. (pun, err, intended? ).

[NiLuJe]

The buildbox happens to be in another DC, and is in the process of finishing a rebuild, so I'll push the next update to yet another DC in the meantime .

EDIT: Might be slowed down a little, because I remembered that I send my backups to SBG, so, err, storing a copy of those elsewhere, too ^^.

Wow! No kidding. I'm happy to wait patiently until stuff comes back. Thanks for the update.

[NiLuJe]

There, stuff should be back .

can you show me how to jailbreak kindle step by step?
because english is not well so i don't understand in page 1

Hey, iam trying to install usbnetwork 0.57n-r18245 on a k2i and i can get it installed with MR Package Installer
and i can connect just fine after adding my key

but when i run htop it crashes with a segfault:

The following function calls were active when the issue was detected:
---
/lib/ld-linux.so.3[0x40013358]
[0x516]

and when i run objdump:

./objdump: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /mnt/us/usbnet/lib/libctf.so.0)

when i run eu-objdump it does seem to work fine


and lsblk:

./lsblk: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by /mnt/us/usbnet/lib/libmount.so.1)
./lsblk: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /mnt/us/usbnet/lib/libmount.so.1)

and readelf:

./readelf: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by /mnt/us/usbnet/lib/libctf-nobfd.so.0)

and trying to open zsh just creates a infinite wait
trying to kill it with kill pid does nothing


i know this is an old device and it's probably because all the new kindles have newer libc but i thought id ask ( maybe something failed after setting up the "burned" build bot)

ps (a little unrelated)

i was able to access cnn trough the web browser but now i just get

HTTP: HTTP/1.1 403 Internet_Access_Embargo

could this be related to the jailbreak?

anyway best regards
NiLuJe thanks for the build bot and all the hard work you put into these devices !

[NiLuJe]

Wheee, shitty old glibc strikes again.

I've fixed some of these in the past, but apparently new code crept in, will look into it .

[NiLuJe]

@gompa: The glibc issues should be fixed in the latest snapshots .

(Well, not elfutils', but that's by design, that's why USBNet ships binutils' objdump instead).

As for ZSH, it works just fine. The first startup will just take a while (a few dozen seconds), more if your storage device is in worse shape than mine. When it *does* start up, follow the prompt's recommendation to make subsequent startups speedier.

And I'd completely forgotten you'd reported an htop failure, too, but, yes, it's segfaulting in strlen somewhere, I'll look into it .

[NiLuJe]

Respun the packages to fix the htop issue (which may also have affected the K5 builds).

Was due to my O_PATH shenanigans, which were "slightly" broken on systems without O_PATH defined at all.

[kindlepls]

Whenever I try to download something from snapshots, I get this error:

Unauthorized
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document you requested.

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems to work now? hmm

[NiLuJe]

You must have hit the server during the short window of time (as in, a couple of minutes at most) when new packages are uploaded .

[NiLuJe]

Speaking of: Monthly (-ish) update!

Besides the usual updates, the Python packages should now be a tad smaller (dropped the tests), and the installation a lot faster (dropped the optimized bytecode that almost nobdy ever actually uses), and numpy has been added to the Python 3 distribution.

I also fixed a small behavior difference in the new MobiCover tool compared to the older Python 2 implementation: it won't reject files without a cdeType anymore, because apparently KindleGen like(d) to generate those at one point.

I have recently moved to a Mac and have not updated these programs on my KOA2 for at least a year. Sorry for the upcoming newb questions...
Do I just redo:
K5 Jailbreak Hotfix
Python
Screensaver
Or do I need anything beyond that?
Thank you.

[radamo]

Well... I think I succeeded.
Hotfix applied
Python updated
SS updated
No errors... Did I miss a step or are there other required pieces I omitted? Thanks again for all your work on this. Seems crazy that for a user like me that ONLY wants the screensaver to show the current book cover this is needed.

Hello everyone, Can i setup python and screensaver hack for my oa3? I see file install not support oa3.
