It is koreader have changed rotation. The KoboLauncher doesn't change the rotation it just draws transformed i.e. rotated image instead.

I guess the problem is that KoboLauncher starts child processes detached. I.e they both koreader and KL run at the same time. If they both will react on touch event trying to update screen, having different (changed by koreader) frame buffer information screen corruption will occur.

I wonder will it help if KoboLauncher will hide its main window when launched application starts?

If I make a new bash script "KoboLauncher.sh", don't I have to make it executable with
chmod +x ? I'm not up to speed on scripting inside a dedicated device and I only have a Linux on a CD available at the moment.

Luck;
Ken

What's KoboLauncher process name? I kill nickel before starting koreader, maybe it is sufficient to add a line to kill KoboLauncher and proceed to koreader.

In the File Manager you can also click on the top row, this is a bit easier to reach than the [x].
A menu opens with the selection "Last documents" and "Exit". Might be easier to close the File Manager through "Exit". it still reboots the device, though...

After a quick test I noted five things :

- I can't find how to change page inside the FileManager (maybe my fault)
Can't confirm the accented characters problems, my German umlauts show up.
Change page in File Manager is done by swiping to left/right.

I _Love_ this thread!!

I just installed koreader on my Aura (, previously enabled telnet and kobolaucher) and ran it using telnet. The kobolaucher script adjustment via sh-old also only displayed an icon. Results:
- It works. Although it seemed to get stuck after a while. I rebooted via telnet.
- I cannot load other pdf's. There is a book icon in the upper left corner, but I cannot reach it: it's too small.

Basically, I hope that I can read pdf's with scanned pages and OCR-text underneath, while having the use of a dictionary (in german philosophical texts it's nice to be able to check wheter you don't understand the word or a thought) and to be able to make notes. Is that realistic?

Looks like this (looks different every time), 2 examples:

Ihave the same problem on Glo with 2.6.1, using KoboLauncher to run Koreader.

If I understood, it's a problem of Koreader when laucher by KoboLauncher.

It's correct?

Basically, it's a problem of KoboLauncher :P I don't know how it paints the screen but it seems uncorrect since it keeps using it even when it's not doing anything. For the time being (at least until someone ports Tweaks) you have to sacrifice the other programs and place the command to open koreader in KoboLauncher's shell script, so that it does not open its app.

Maybe someone can create a new PNG file for KOReader and edit the Kobo Launcher installation file so the new PNG points directly to KOReader...

I did that. It's a dirty hack, but it works.
Just hex-edited Sergey's /usr/bin/launcher binary.

launche2.png goes into /mnt/onboard
koreade-launcher.sh goes into /mnt/onboard/.kobo/koreader/


Note: There has been a problem reported that may be related to the launcher. I personally haven't seen any problems, but handle with care.

In case you see a direct boot into koreader, delete the launche2.png image from /mnt/onboard, and reboot. That should prevent the launcher from starting.

It doesn't paint Qt does If reboot is only way to exit koreader, killing KoboLauncher like you do with nickel is ok.

? and the "KoboRoot.tgz\etc - TAR+GZIP archive, unpacked size 7,958 bytes" goes into .kobo? to do an update?

Does the launche2.png go to the same location as the original launcher.png? It looks like that to me, but the earlier directions were to put it in the "root" (which should be the same as " /mnt/onboard" )

Luck;
Ken

Yes. That file size seems odd, though. The KoboRoot.tgz is 3723 Bytes here.

You can also copy "by hand" if you have a telnet connection.

That is how WinRAR lists the file. I am pretty sure I understand, but I wanted to make it as clear as possible for myself and others who don't really speak "penguin". Thanks very much for this fix, it should make things much easier.
