One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 87

steveparry · 06-11-2025, 12:05 PM

I have a Libra H2O with 0.5Gb space spare of 8Gb. Koreader is installed, up to date and running fine but Plato will not load. I just get the "Launched Plato.sh " then three dots animation then it returns to the standard Home screen. I rebooted in KOReader and got message "KFMon internal storage unavailable - bye", then a return to the Home screen. Any suggestions as to how to fix? Should I just re-install the KoReader/Plato package?

Perhaps you could try uninstalling KFMon and simply using NickelMenu to launch Plato or KOReader.

Good afternoon!

After a few failed attempts I was able to successfully install the KOReader AND Plato package using the script in Windows 11 onto my Kobo Mini. I followed the prompts on screen, waited till I was told it was completed, ejected, and waited for the reboot, but I cannot locate any of the apps or launcher from the Home or Library menus. I did a soft reset and the issue continues to manifest

I should mention that this device doesn't look like it was ever updated, as it's running 2.1.2. Do I need to update the FW to most current or a specific version in order to get this working as intended?

Yes. You definitely need to update.

Thanks - and I can get the most up to date version that's available for this device? I'm guessing I'll need to reflash the file again post-update.

Appreciate your help. Do you have a ko-fi link?

You can download the firmware from links on Patrick Gaskin's Kobo Firmware Downloads. The last official firmware for the Mini was 3.19.5761-s but I have used 4.38.21908 on my Mini and it seems to work okay.

You may need to re-install the package since KFMon does not, AFAIK, survive a firmware update. Personally, the first thing I do after installing the One Click Packages is to uninstall KFMon since I use NickelMenu to directly launch KOReader and Plato.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it makes any difference but I was using NickelMenu to try to launch Plato. NickelMenu launches KoReader fine.

If you look at the plato and koreader shell files in the .adds/nm directory, you'll notice they have two methods in each of launching the app.

Plato:

Code:

# Launch Plato via KFMon
# NOTE: .adds/nm/kfmon will generate this automatically
#menu_item : main : Plato : kfmon     : plato.png

# Launch Plato directly via NM
#menu_item : main : Plato : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/plato/plato.sh

Help! I've been having a heck of a time trying to install KOReader on my Kobo Elipsa 2e and I'm not sure what I'm messing up. I'm using a mac. The install script runs with no problems, and nickelmenu installs. However, when I try to launch koreader, either through nickelmenu or kfmon, it gives me a bomb error. Here's a link to the crash log file.

For whatever reason it looks like some files/folders are just not there, but again, I have no clue why this is happening. I've also attempted to do the manual install and use a nightly build, all to no avail.

You might be better off posting this in the KOReader thread: (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=276).

Hello
Does One Click Install Koreader work on software version 4.42.23296? I am wondering whether to install it and I'm afraid of being disappointed if it doesn't work.

DNSB · 06-20-2025, 02:34 PM

The OCP package works but there have been reports of issues with KOReader and 4.42.23296 firmware. After installing the OCP package, I would suggest installing the latest KOReader nightly package and giving it a try.

It would be a good idea to post in this thread if the Nightly works or not.

For what it may be worth, I installed OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2025.04.zip on a Kobo colour device with firmware 4.42.23296. I then ran the KFMon uninstaller and updated NickelMenu to the last development version. After this, I added the lines to run Plato and KOReader to the NickelMenu config file. Lastly, I unpacked koreader-kobo-v2025.04-125-gf2c678c20_2025-06-19.zip (the latest nightly just before I wrote this message) over the contents of the koreader directory in .adds. Launching from NickelMenu, both Plato and KOReader opened with KOReader telling me books would be rendered in colour.
