Failed to connect error

gogu1904 · 08-17-2020, 11:10 AM

Hello,

Since a few nightlies ago I got the following error when trying to open a wifi connection via a request for update:

Failed to initialize network control client: Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant control socket: /var/run/wpa_supplicant/eth0.

If wifi is on and active when starting koreader all is fine. Otherwise I get this error when trying to update koreader. What should I do to get over it?

If relevant: I run Kobo KA1 with last firmware. KOReader starts via NM, without kfm being installed.
Thank you.

Known issue with Kobo firmware 4.23.x, see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/6500.

Thank you. On the same note, after an OTA update from within KOReader, the folder ota has one large sized leftover, the file koreader.installed.tar. Is it actually necessary after the install process? If not, is it possible to be deleted at the end of the update procedure? It is quite large. Thank you.

It's necessary, yeah.

(Otherwise, it'll be re-created during the update process, which would be a slow and redundant process).
