SSH server not working in firmware 5.18.5
The SSH server stopped working after the latest Kindle firmware update (version 5.18.5).
When I try to enable SSH, I get the following error message: "Failed to start SSH server". Device: Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation KOReader nightly - 2025.08-61 |

Try a new KOReader nightly and see if it works.

Maybe try telnet as a replacement?
I don’t know if you can do it through KOReader though |
