KOA2 What kind CPU on KOA2 is? 64bit or 32bit?

[kdusr]

Hi, I am testing a kindle virtual machine for KOA2.
Does anyone know what kind CPU on KOA2 is?
Which version of debian should I download to install?
ARM Hardfloat Linux binary
ARM Softfloat Linux binary
32bit or 64bit?

[knc1]

ARMv7, 32-bit, dual core, soft float

Why don't you install kTerm?
Then when you have questions like that, you can just enter:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Get the kTerm for launching with KUAL (I am pretty sure that is the one I linked to in the directions).

Since KUAL is broke -
browse down the /extensions/kterm/* tree until you find the script that launches kTerm.
Copy, edit as required, rename as: RUNME.sh, put in topmost level of visible USB storage.
To launch, in main search bar, enter:
;log runme

Post if there are problems with launching it like that, someone (other than me) will help you out.

When you have a working launcher script, contribute it to:

copy my kv extensions folder to KOA2
kterm path is : /mnt/us/extensions/kterm
create a RUNME.sh file as follow:
#-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
EXTENSION=/mnt/us/extensions/kterm
#WIDTH=`xwininfo -root|grep Width|cut -d ':' -f 2`
# use wider keyboard layout for screen width greater than 600 px
#if [ ${WIDTH} -gt 600 ]; then
#PARAM="-l ${EXTENSION}/layouts/keyboard-wide.xml"
#fi
${EXTENSION}/bin/kterm ${PARAM}
#----------------------------------------
execute command ;log runme but can not launch kterm...




then tried to change RUNME.sh file :
#--------------------------------------------
chmod 777 /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm
/mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm -l /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/layouts/keyboard.xml
#--------------------------------------------
still can not launch kterm...

edited RUNME.sh file again:
#-------------------------------------------
chmod +x /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm.sh
./mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm.sh
#-------------------------------------------
still can not launch kterm

finally tried this in RUNME.sh
#-------------------------------------------
cat /proc/cpuinfo > /mnt/us/extensions/cpuinfo.txt
#-------------------------------------------
then I found the cupinfo.txt file, cpu model is
ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l) 32bit same as Raspberry Pi 2B

but why kterm does not work?

[knc1]

Good question.

Wait for NiLuJe to notice this, he is much more knowledgable about how KUAL launches other programs.

Try:

#!/bin/sh
whoami >/mnt/us/documents/whoami.txt

And if it turns out you are 'framework' (or something even more strange) -
there is a copy of su in /var/local/mkk that you can call, it does not request a password, just switches you to 'root'.
IIRC, it is there because in some cases KUAL required it.

#15 383 go Mopar

[kdusr]

tried
#!/bin/sh
whoami >/mnt/us/documents/whoami.txt

result is "root"

I am looking for a new version of kermt, try again
----------------------------------------------------------
tried the newest version of kermt(2.4)

does not work

I think you need a DISPLAY variable now.
See here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=43


Had to do like this

#!/bin/bash

eips 0 0 kterm
DISPLAY=':0.0' /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm.sh &

[NiLuJe]

KUAL should be handling calling su transparently without any need to do that in your scripts .

(As does the runme thing, I think, since that wouldn't be much use otherwise ^^).

As for why kterm wouldn't work, beats me, other than the KOA2 and/or FW 5.9.x is new and weird in fun and interesting ways?

Except KUAL does not work on a KOA2 with 5.9.2 so she is trying to convert the kTerm script to a RUNME.sh script.
(Blame me, it was my suggestion)

[NiLuJe]

IIRC, runme should also go through gandalf *transparently*, IIRC, since I think that was basically its whole raison d'être .

Unless I'm mixing stuff up, which I very well may be ^^.

[kdusr]

add a DISPLAY variable ,it works now
thanks Knc1 Coplate and NiLuJe
