I can prep a zip of my build too.

Thanks so much! If you'd be able to prepare a zip that'd be fantastic... I am trying to build it myself on a Linux VPS but I lack the knowledge unfortunately.

By the way, are you using the one by 'scribe_user' a few posts up in this thread? Or the original one?

I used your posts as an inspiration so it's a joint effort :-)

Fantastic thanks! Is there a specific reason you’re using 3 hosts? I installed Tailscale on the Kindle and it works really well, can connect to it from any WiFi now, at

It says it's connected (I am using the native Screen Sharing on my Macbook) but it doesn't show the actual screen it seems, just stays in the kterm terminal (see attached screenshot), am I supposed to do anything else after the ./luajit vncviewer command?

Also trying it with kvncviewer.sh through KUAL:

#!/bin/sh
cd $(dirname "$0")
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#orient=`lipc-get-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock`
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 1
#lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock L
# ./refresh_vnc.sh
./luajit vncviewer.lua MYIP:5900
#lipc-set-prop com.lab126.winmgr orientationLock $orient
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 0

but that drops me back to the main Kindle interface it seems. However I do see the process running on the Kindle:

[root@kindle kvncviewer]# ps -ef|grep vnc
root 20993 1 0 17:14 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh ./kvncviewer.sh
root 20998 20993 34 17:14 ? 00:00:00 ./luajit vncviewer.lua MYIP:5900
root 21014 19054 0 17:14 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vnc

if I uncomment ./refresh_vnc.sh

it does show the screen it seems but very "flaky". If I touch the screen it'll show the native interface over the vnc screen.

Actually with the lua files by scribe_user earlier in this thread it does seem to not revert to the original Kindle interface, not sure if touch is registered though.

I think it's because kterm is a graphical app which window takes whole of the screen and most likely it has "priority of -1" so you won't see anything overlayed on top of it.

My tests were done by running kvncviewer via terminal ssh into scribe.
