Font, ScreenSaver & USBNetwork Hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x - Page 226

@tees42: KUAL > USBNetwork > Show version (or whatever, it's the first button ;p).

Make sure you're connecting as root, and not your current user, which is what ssh <ip> does. (i.e., do ssh root@1.2.3.4, not ssh 1.2.3.4, which would actually try to connect as you@1.2.3.4, which is bad, unless you're doing this as root, which would also be bad ;p).

Correct **ONLY** if your current username is 'root' (which is an evil no-no), otherwise:
ssh root@192.168.2.2

Try reading my multi-thread ssh how-to for other details.

knc1: Yes, I spotted that this morning when I got up. It just goes to show that you should do no work on a rest-day! As a result it now works so I can say thanks to you and NiLuJe for helping me to get this sorted out. I shall now hop over to a duokan thread to try to find out why I can't install it to my Kindle. Perhaps I'll "see" you there.

Dorkian on a K3?
Well, at one time, it would have been because the Mobileread Jailbreak was already installed.
Might still be that way for all I know.

tees42 · 08-11-2014, 07:28 PM

Yes, that is the problem. I assume that now I have it installed I can re-install Jailbreak.

Hi NiLuJe,

Thanks for your great hacks!
But I am facing a issue on my Flashed 3.2.1 Kindle DXG. The linkjail doesn't exist after I installed the the jailbreak. Is there any impact? like whitelist not exist.
And what should I do to fix this?

Thanks a million,
Rockie

NiLuJe · 08-13-2014, 10:56 PM

@rockiecxh: IIRC, you shouldn't have to jailbreak a frankensteined DXG-on-3.x, the JB is part of the deal. Beyond that, here be dragons.

I'm currently using Launchpad to call a script to change to new hack font. but I need to copy over all the font files into linkfonts/fonts. The copying costs a lot of time.

I saw the linkfonts shell script, and found that you are using mount --bind to link the whole fonts folder. I cannot easily mount to another folder, because all the other font files are needed, not only the ones I wanted to change.
Is there any easy way to change font?

Sure - read the man(ual) page on mount and its --bind option.

Linux allows you to "mount --bind" individual files.

Thank you! It works now!

usbNet makes the brower freeze, is this expected/known or unfixable/unknown?

Edit: ***usbNet on freezes it***

NiLuJe · 09-19-2014, 02:41 PM

@Glorfindel: Err, what?

Try accessing a site by IP address rather than Domain Name -
Just to see if it is a DNS problem.

@knc1: I can't, as I should have stated it freezes my kindle when I try to open the browser. turning usbNetwork off from kual fixes, but sometimes I forget to turn it off before trying to open the browser and have to hard restart. Sorry for being unclear
