Plato: A document reader for PDF, ePUB, DjVu, etc. - Page 61

The new fit-to-width scroll options in 0.9.31 are a welcome addition. Also noted was the Wiktionary fix, so I added the en-en dictionary available on dictinfo dot com to my device. Between this and the OED, people's English monolingual dictionary needs should be well covered I'd think. Love Plato, thankful as always.

It uses the dictd format but can also auto convert stardict formatted dictionaries.

Check the guide and manual on the GitHub for details.

I've released Plato 0.9.32.

jospalau · 10-19-2022, 09:37 AM

I installed it and tried to launch it with Nickel Menu but the Libra 2 keeps restarting when opening it. How can I see what is going on? Thanks

$ cat /run/media/jospalau/KOBOeReader/.adds/plato/info.log
...
Add new entry: 508122E80009587A, Libros/Cutter, Nick/Troop, The - Nick Cutter.epub.

Book exists. After removing it from the device error occurs with a different book

That fixed it for me:
$ cp /run/media/jospalau/KOBOeReader/.adds/plato/Settings-sample.toml /run/media/jospalau/KOBOeReader/.adds/plato/Settings.toml

The error isn't related to the book. It has to do with one of the default libraries having a problematic path key.

Which means that the problem probably comes from the default libraries added in d6c5d4a1 (the change wasn't applied to Settings-sample.toml).

Sorry for the late reply but the patches the script tries to apply failed on the update package I tried to use and I couldn’t figure how to apply the changes from the patches manually.

The current firmware patch works fine on 4.33.19608.

baskerville · 11-07-2022, 11:45 AM

I've released Plato 0.9.33.

Pokemod97 · 11-07-2022, 10:33 PM

So I've twice now gotten a reset as the only option screen on libra 2 4.33 with the standalone package. The last time was after a fresh install of both and pressing the reboot to nickel button.

Sorry about that: you need to use the latest version of standalone.sh (putting files in /usr/local was a very bad idea, Nickel assumes that the rootfs partition is left untouched by the user) and the latest firmware (4.34.20097). Before you do that, you'll need to get rid of /usr/local/Plato.

Pokemod97 · 11-08-2022, 08:31 AM

Ah sorry this was done with the latest standalone.sh and 4.34 I just forgot what version was the latest. I did a git pull after you removed the /usr/local/plato so that version was never installed on my device.
Also I had to switch
tar -xzvf KoboRoot.tgz etc/init.d/rcS
to
tar -xzvf KoboRoot.tgz ./etc/init.d/rcS

Pokemod97 · 11-08-2022, 08:38 AM

I also installed kobocloud afterwards would that conflict with what plato is doing via standalone?

Are you referring to the factory reset screen? I though there was a cancel button present on that screen.

I'm not sure what could be causing this in rcS… assuming that rcS is properly patched.

Have you tried entering shared mode? Are there errors in info.log after unmounting the user partition?

I can't reproduce. It might be device-specific.

What's the output of tar --version?

It shouldn't interfere since it doesn't seem to alter /etc/init.d/rcS.

I'll take a picture next time but I didn't see a cancel button. It was a black screen with a rectangle with an x in it(I assume this was supposed to be a kobo) and a small button with circular arrow in it. And the screen showed back up after a force reboot.
