Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks

[NiLuJe]

In another attempt at making the shell useful, the latest USBNetwork snapshots now bundle tmux .

is it just me or is usbnet not working on 5.7.2.1?

Please give more details than just: "not working".

since I migrated from 5.6.5 it stopped. I tried launching the sh file manually from kterm and it complained about libkh IIRC.
so I get the bin files to reinstall it and mrinstaller seems to fail. the bin files are still there after rebooting and I don't see the menu in kual

You always have to completely re-install everything other than the jailbreak, KUAL and KUAL extensions.

Do that again, and make a note of the exact spelling of the library that is complained about. We can't fix it otherwise.

What messages do you get from MrPI? from KUAL?

Home page -> search bar -> the command: ;dm (semi-colon d m) will dump the log files to text documents.

[NiLuJe]

Also double check the MPRI instructions on how to install stuff. And check MRPI's log (extensions/mrinstaller/*.log).

I have recently been working on porting some stuff to my like-new vintage K1 (collector's item). So far only scripts I package up work on it. Framebuffer is different and I am struggling with trying to make changes update. Different CPU (intel x-scale, not freescale). Uses usb-serial instead of RNDIS usbnetwork. No 5-way pad, but roller for rightside 2px-wide chrome-pixels LCD for progressbar and menu select (which I can update for progress), and eips works but uses different parameters. Interesting toy, and more interesting is that my flaky roller switch started working good after I ordered a one-dollar replacement -- it must have been oxidized mechanical switch contacts which cleaned themselves with significant use. This device uses right-justified menus for compatibility with its fancy LCD selector, however I find the LCD invisible at various viewinng angles, and I need to tilt it so the mirror pixels reflect something dissimilar from the LCD inactive pixel state (flat white indistinguishable from the ceiling it reflects at many comfortable viewing angles). I like eink inverse menu select much better, avoiding that clever shiny (but annoying to use) LCD menu selector. Glad they removed it on K2. For compatible apps with other kindles, having no 5-way or keyboard arrow keys, I plan to allow wasd-key arrows and spacebar-select, in addition to 5-way and touchscreen support. Or just give up? Where are all the K1 apps? I think after getting gmplay (with sound) working on it, time to move on to newer devices, eh? Toolchains are a PITA... I want something like KUAL on this.

Using the packages from this thread for:
Jailbreak, KUAL, MrPI, MKK, and USBnetwork on a K2I that had never been jailbroken before - -

Using the 'Toggle USB Network' button -
Later, using the 'USBnetwork Status' button -
I see a status message of "USBNetwork: enabled (usbnet, sshd down?)"

I do have an address on the USB PC device:

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
5: usb1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000

    inet 192.168.2.1 peer 192.168.2.2/32 scope global usb1
    inet6 fe80::ec49:ff:fe00:0/64 scope link

I have a route:

$ ip route

Telnet works:

but indeed, just like the status message said, dropbear is not running:

[root@kindle root]# ps aux | grep 'drop'
root     14893  0.0  0.3   2652   472 pts/0    RN+  01:50   0:00 grep drop

I made one change to the default config file:

# Don't let dropbear print the banner at each login
QUIET_DROPBEAR="true"

In the file: config.default not in the file: config

K2I - FW-2.5.2

Can you suggest what I might check next?

[NiLuJe]

@knc1: Crap.

My bad, dropbear update pulls in new GLIBC_2.7 symbols. Didn't expect that ;/.

EDIT: As does OpenSSL. o_O. That's weird. Haven't touched that in quite a while...

[knc1]

Do you have 2.5.8 on yours, too see how old things need to be?
I suppose I could update my 2.5.2 if it is too old to support.

= = = =

Trivia:
The k5, 5.3.7.3 (current) updated OpenSSl to 1.0.1(something) from the old 0.97 version.

[knc1]

Ah - same problem with OpenSSH -

[root@kindle sbin]# sshd 
sshd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by /mnt/us/usbnet/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8)

Here is what is installed on 2.5.2:

Maybe I should just use the USBnet package in the USBnet thread?
I.E: It is still an 'older' build, isn't it?

[NiLuJe]

Yeah, that's the good old isoc99_sscanf stuff. No idea why it seemingly suddenly cropped up *now*, since I haven't touched my K3 TC... Which means it's probably been broken for a while :?.

EDIT: Gonna chalk that one up to a change in GCC's default --std value?

Tweaked the build scripts, stuff is currently rebuilding...

No hope for readelf without code tweaks though, it relies on qsort_r, which was introduced in glibc 2.8...

[knc1]

And:

[root@kindle sbin]# ../bin/eu-readelf -d sshd
../bin/eu-readelf: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.8' not found (required by ../bin/eu-readelf)

I used patchelf on sshd to remove the runpath (to use the K2's libcrypto) -
that took care of those complaints from the openssl library -
but sshd itself still complains.

= = = =

Since your setting a runpath into /mnt/us/ ....
why not just include the newer libraries in /mnt/us/usbnet (or whereever).

the 'trick' there is to rename them to their soname.

[knc1]

Note: 2.5.2 does not set a 'wake-lock' just because the USB cable is connected.
Not even because there are characters coming and going over telnet.

I just have to find a way to stop that behaviour -
I am getting tired of working in 30 second 2 minute bursts.
