One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 65

First: You have a bad cable (or a bad port). Fix that first, as you're bound to have way more issues down the line if you keep hoping for the best with a flaky connection

.

Second: you're doing something wrong. Or macOS is doing something wrong for you; check the mac-specific mentions on those first two post

.

I'm waiting on Kobo to actually release the kernel sources. As an actual owner of the device, feel free to poke Kobo CS about that.

JFYI, Kobo pushed the new commit into git -

Added Elipsa 2E
kernel tar split to fall under GH file size limit.

Just did the 1 click install on my new Libra 2. The install instructions resulted in a few minutes of uncertainly on my Mac, running Sonoma Public Beta 1. The right-click->Open resulted in a list of applications to open it with; I tried Terminal, and it just flashed by (there was no gatekeeper).

After trying this a couple of times, I decided to put my vast command line knowledge (ha ha) to use, opened Terminal, typed "./install.command" and everything went as expected.

I would not run a MacOS beta. The release versions are bad enough.

The only reason I mention my OS is for troubleshooting purposes. I’d be happy to hear relevant feedback if there is any.

The problem is that errors don't get fixed if your OS is not a release version qas the problem could be related to the OS. Try a release OS and if you have the same problem, then post about it.

Apple may have finally won its crusade against letting people run "untrusted" code on their OS, even in its most benign fashion. Yay Apple. >_<".

Snark aside, I haven't followed the macOS changes on that front, but, yes, either it's a beta issue (god knows their betas are usually *very* beta), or it's indeed a result of their "security" crackdown efforts.

Of course, Beta versions of OS software are often problematic. That's exactly why I mentioned I was running a beta, trying to signal to others running the beta and installing this software might run into this problem as well. What I was responding to was the wholly irrelevant comment on MacOS.

This time the installer worked just fine, just not quite as expected. I've encountered very, very few programs I haven't been able to run on any version of MacOS since BigSur.

What I'm meaning is don't report any bugs while running a beta OS unless it's easily reproducible on a non-beta OS.

I tend to report them as a heads up that there may be issues when the beta goes RTM.

One-click script (with KOReader) doesn't seem to be enabling the hidden sysfiles ignore.

And only trigger the USBMS session from within the Home screen, apparently there are still fd leaks lurking in Nickel otherwise...
