Amazing stuff. I love those kindle jailbreak thingyis, anyway.
If i connect with my vnc server it only repaints the kindle display at the top bar and not really frequently. Does someone have the solution? Last edited by tmp_user; 01-26-2020 at 05:55 PM. |

Adapting the KUAL extension, ie, once you have installed it, create or edit these files in your extensions/vncviewer directory: launchVNC.sh: Code:
/mnt/us/extensions/vncviewer/refresh.sh & /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh HOST:PORT refresh.sh: Code:
while :; do eips ''; usleep 90000; done; Code: {"name": "VNC Connection", "priority": 1, "action": "/mnt/us/extensions/vncviewer/launchVNC.sh"} Then just use the button in KUAL to launch your session |

Hi,
I realise this is a really old thread, but I'm hoping the dev is still around. I'm using my Kindle 4 as a screen for a status display for temperature, ph, and salinity on my reef tank. I've got a server running Grafana and the vnc viewer from this thread displaying it through a full-screen firefox window. It works pretty well, except that the connection drops roughly once or twice a day and I have to manually restart kindlevncviewer from the KUAL menu. I ran strace on the vnc viewer process and got this at the moment of the disconnect: ioctl(3, FBIO_EINK_UPDATE_DISPLAY_AREA, 0xbea26a88) = 0 select(8, [4 5 6 7], NULL, NULL, {300, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {272, 172293}) read(7, 0x4070a0a0, 8192) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) gettimeofday({1607389609, 204967}, NULL) = 0 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "08/12/2020 01:06:49 ", 20) = 20 write(2, "read (110: Connection timed out)"..., 33) = 33 write(2, "error while handling RFB message"..., 34) = 34 close(7) = 0 munmap(0x406bf000, 360448) = 0 brk(0xe4000) = 0xe4000 stat64("192.168.1.42", 0xbea26978) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 7 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(5901), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.42")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) gettimeofday({1607389609, 242614}, NULL) = 0 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "08/12/2020 01:06:49 ", 20) = 20 write(2, "ConnectToTcpAddr: connect\n", 26) = 26 close(7) = 0 gettimeofday({1607389609, 269107}, NULL) = 0 open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "08/12/2020 01:06:49 ", 20) = 20 write(2, "Unable to connect to VNC server\n", 32) = 32 ioctl(4, EVIOCGRAB, NULL) = 0 close(0) = 0 ioctl(5, EVIOCGRAB, NULL) = 0 close(1) = 0 ioctl(6, EVIOCGRAB, NULL) = 0 close(2) = 0 close(3) = 0 exit_group(-1) = ? +++ exited with 255 +++ The connection times out, and then it can't find /etc/localtime. I had a second connection running to the vnc server from my desktop at the time, and it's still going, so it's not the server dropping the connection. Any thoughts on what I should do next? |

If anyone stumbles on this, I did find a (rather ugly) way to "fix" the problem.
I edited the kvncviewer.sh script to restart the vnc client every six hours, forever. My script file is: Code:
#!/bin/sh cd $(dirname "$0") LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 1 eips -c sleep 5 while true do ./kindlevncviewer -config config.lua "$@" & pid=$! #sleep 10 #eips -c #eips '' sleep 21600 kill "$pid" & done lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 0 exit 0 |
