Thx - I'll Try that this evening.

Is there a environment variable for the current % of the battery?

Look into adds/kbmenu/scripts_intern/tools/checkbattery.sh to see an example of how to retrieve the battary values.

Thanks for your help, tshering. I just realized that I am still using KSM 8, and check_battery.sh is not
present in that version. Perhaps a good time for me to do the upgrade, ...

If it's just for checking the battery you can download the zip and check it locally.

There's not much to it in any case. There are these two files provided by the kernel:

/sys/devices/platform/pmic_battery.1/power_supply/mc13892_bat/capacity
/sys/devices/platform/pmic_battery.1/power_supply/mc13892_bat/status

The first tells you the supposed percentage, the second whether it's charging or not.

KSM 8 does have check_battery.sh. Maybe your are looking at the wrong place. adds/kbmenu/scripts_intern/tools/checkbattery.sh is at the system partition (not at the user partition), and so is adds/kbmenu/onstart/poweroff.sh.

OT, (for the KOReader developers); It might be useful to add display of the Mini-Progress bar over the image, for sleep/suspend and poweroff.

Luck;
Ken

Yes, it may be useful option, for quick info about some data.

Hi !
I just installed KSM9 + Update 2 and the latest koreader version.
I tried to download some ebooks through the opds feature of Koreader but apparently, koreader refuses to write to /mnt/onboard .
Is it a permission issue ? Have i missed something ?

When you select a book, what "Download directory:" is listed? Can you change the download directory using the "Select another directory" option?

Do you get an error message?

Ken

PS; Right now that is one directory (/mnt/onboard/) that I can download that I can download to. I quess Ineed to check that /mnt/sd/ is getting mounted RW.

KA1 in KSM9 does not turn on the screen backlight.

You might try to set a higher value for the frontlight with the help of "configure" in the main menu. Under the section [general] you can chose one of the following values:

frontlightOnLevel=4
frontlightOnLevel=10
frontlightOnLevel=15
frontlightOnLevel=20
frontlightOnLevel=30

The default value is 4. Maybe this is to low to be even noticed on your device.

Edit: You might have to toggle to the "full menu" to see the entry "configure".

tshering, possible problem with setting time through wifi and KSM9.

I connected to wifi, checked that, but when using option to get time from time servers, I get current time displayed (1.1.2012 1:00).

I had battery run out, so I lost time and I tried to get correct time the fastest way, but it didn't worked for some reason. Not sure why, maybe something only on my device (KA1).

Later I manually set it up through koreader.

Any advice what to do?

Thank you, it's better.
I left KA1 for 2 days with the KSM 9 menu turned on, the battery was discharged to "0". Apparently, falling asleep books in this mode does not work.
