Python 2.7 & Python 3.9 don't support kindle scribe, is it possiable get some update?

Crank · 10-21-2024, 07:13 AM

Same problem with PW5

NiLuJe · 10-21-2024, 08:43 AM

Not happening for Python 2, just respin the package w/ KindleTool yourself.

An update of all the things will come when it's ready (probably no sooner than winter break, though).

PW4 with WinterBreak. Trying to install KUAL, but the MRPI logs say:

Package 'Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.35_install.bin' (KUALBooklet v2.7.35 I) is not targeting your device [366 vs. 11

You should be using the coplate variant on a PW4 (or basically anything that isn't over 7 years old).

I think you may have mixed up the links for KUAL and KUAL (coplate) in the OP post. KUAL (coplate) links to the 2.7.35 one and KUAL links to the one with the git ref.
Assuming the instructions I'm reading from somewhere are right

Seconding this. Using the link for KUAL coplate only resulted in this

Package 'Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.35_install.bin' (KUALBooklet v2.7.35 I) is not targeting your device

while when I read this post and finally tried the "wrong" one, I finally got KUAL in my library. I haven't done any jailbreaking for kindle in donkey's years, and this is my first post as I registerd to reply here. If I have done anything wrong, please let me know. Also, I really appreiciate the dilligent work of NiLuJe

Relevant log entry for this install:

Ah, that makes sense. I'll try the real coplate build. Thanks!

Oh, crap. Nice catch, thanks!

EDIT: Fixed, thanks!

I have jailbreak my kindle scribe with the WinterBreak way, and have successed to install the kual and MRPI.

However, when I want to install Python 2.7 & Python 3.9 in this post, I failed. I tried kindle-python-0.15.N-r18981.tar.xz andkindle-python-0.14.N-r18833.tar.xz. both failed in my scribe. So I hope the author would modify this hack for kindle scribe.

Similarly getting stuck with the packaged python3 snapshot for my PW5 which was just jailbroken using winterbreak. I’ve taken a few additional attempts to get it to work, though still unable to compile.

To add the device type, I spun up an Ubuntu VM (as I couldn’t get the homebrewed kindletool to play nicely), installed the dependencies noted by NiLuJe on the kindletool repo and compiled the latest kindletool, then extracted the python3 snapshot, and created an ota2 bin with -kindle5 as the device type successfully.

I've created a bunch of bins and have attempted to install each of them through the mrpackages folder.

My most recent attempts still failed as the install.sh script within the bin wasn’t able to locate the included xzdec which I don’t understand, but I rewrote the line to use just tar

Code:

tar -xvJf "python3.tar.xz" -C /mnt/us/

which then successfully extracts everything to /mnt/us/python3. This folder can also be seen in Finder when the Kindle is plugged into my computer.

Unfortunately, the script then fails after extracting with the following error from the mrinstaller.log file:

Code:

./install.sh: line 169: /mnt/us/python3/bin/python3.9: not found

That line refers to the python3/bin/python3.9 -m compileall -f -x... line.

Anyone have any thoughts on what the correct command should be to compile python on a PW5 (and by the sounds of it, other newer kindles)?

For context I have KOReader installed, but also trying to get MailPush setup which needs Python3 to work properly... so close!

Attaching the logs if it helps.

It confused me for a bit lol. It happens. Thanks for the work you've done!!

Hello,
first of all, thank you for all your work!
I followed the procedure on this site:
https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaki...ling-kual-mrpi

The “winterbreak” and “Post jailbreak: Setting up a hotfix” parts went well.

But for the part “Post jailbreak : installing KUAL/MRPI” at the line “5 Enter ;log mrpi into the search bar and click enter” I have an error at reboot see picture 1.

I've tried troubleshooting and then restarting at step 5, but the same error.
I went as far as installing KOreader but it doesn't launch.
My kindle is a V10 in 5.17.1
Can you please help me?

[SNIP]

I've been tinkering with this as well. Have you had any progress?

SSH into kindle and attempted to run either python2.7 or python3.9 and the result is the same ($./python3.9 --version). Fault isn't during the install or packing the bin but looks like our PW5 cannot run this particular python pack. May have to tinker with that specifically a bit more but I am fresh to the kindle jailbreak scene.
