While talking about browsers - is there any way to get a TEXT browser work on Kobos? Like elinks or something? Kindle has xterm and elinks above that, i wonder if there's a possibility for that on Kobos

• I guess there are exit_nickel.png and/or switchtokoreader.png as tiles on the home page of nickel. If yes open and close them. Go into the library and open these two "books" from there.
• power the device off and on again

After that you should be able t start nickel via "start nickel", and return to KSM by opening "exit_nickel.png".

Thanks, actually "start nickel no fmon.sh" didn't work for me. I uninstalled KSM and reinstalled it with a careful execution of step 1.4. Now it works perfectly!

I'm confused by changing settings. I thought I could increase the KSM menu font size by updating kbmenu\ksm_ini. I added

[general]
kobomenuFontsize=55

But no difference. So I hardcoded it in onstart\ksmhome.sh and then it worked.

Also, I wish the real INI file would just have all the settings. I get the idea of adding to a blank file, but it just creates confusion and extra steps for the user (me). My first thought looking at what I assumed was the ini file, was "why is every setting listed twice?"

That's weird because the kobomenuFontsize=55 work perfect from ksm_ini and for me all options are present only once.

You can try deleting completely ksm_ini to generate a clean one and use the internal config to add all sections/options

Did you restart the device?

You are not supposed to edit kbmenu\ksm_ini, but to use (KSM home) configure. Using this tool would give you the choice of choosing between
kobomenuFontsize=35
kobomenuFontsize=45
kobomenuFontsize=55
If you want to have more options you would have to add them yourself, by modifying ksm_ini_options.txt (I guess this is what you "assumed was the ini file").

Why another KSM 08 test version? 1.) Because I did a lot of changes since the last test version. 2.) Since I will be away for about two weeks and cannot give any support during this time, I do not want to publish this version now as a release version. On the other hand, I do not want to hold it back.

Installation and so on is as in post #490. If there is already a KSM 08 version on your device, you have to remove it completely before installing the new version. You can do this by deleting /adds/kbmenu and /mnt/onboard/.adds/kbmenu_user. One way to achieve this is

• copy delete_KSM.sh to /mnt/onboard/.adds/kbmenu_user/scripts
• select (KSM home) user scripts > delete_KSM.sh

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Hi Tshering,
thanks a lot. I can report that removing the old KSM, and reinstalling prep03 worked like a charm. I didn't do the update stuff, though. koreader, vlavasoft launcer, nickel, all worked as far as I can see.

Thanks a lot, and have two nice weeks!!!!

I will try it asap, sorry. I have work again.

Are there any scripts that run on resume (wake from suspend) either in KSM or Koreader? I'd like to enable wifi on resume, but haven't been able to figure out how, or if, this is possible.

I do have the wifi insomnia patch, but that doesn't come into play for suspend/resume, as far as I can tell.

I had the same problem like above post 571, fcould only fix it with deleting everything and reinstalling

Did anybody try "Another KSM 08 test version" on Touch 2?

You can already do this. Add in
x:\.adds\kbmenu_user\confoptions\ksm_ini_options.t xt to the section [general] the line

ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel_koreader_switch

Then select this option with "configure" (you must also have set ksmAutoselectafter=20 )

(KSM 7 works the same way, only the path to the confoptions is differnt, x:\.adds\kbmenu\confoptions\ksm_ini_options.txt).


------------------------------------------------------
I change "ksmAutoselectoption" from nickel to start_nickel_koreader_switch.
but in the "configure" it show as "ksmAutoselectoption=nickel".
I am using KSM08prep01.

Press on ksmAutoselectoption=nickel, you will be presented then with further options. Choose ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel_koreader_switch. Do not forget to save when exiting the configuration application.

Instead of changing ksmAutoselectoption=nickel to ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel_koreader_switch in ksm_ini_options.txt, you could have simply added the new option ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel_koreader_switch. Then you could choose with "configure" between the two options. You can add several options, like

ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel
ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel_koreader_switch
ksmAutoselectoption=start_koreader_nickel_switch

Yes it work, but only after 20 sec, tried changing ksmAutoselectafter=20 to 0, 1 or 5 but didn't work.

EDIT: it's also alternating one time wait 20 sec in KSM menu, and the other it's go straight to nickel and the img file don't work.
and after i wait the 20 sec and open koreaser.img it's go back to ksm menu and not to koreader.
