Playing with the KSM 09 webinterface

Read the first three steps in advance, because step 3 and 4 must be executed quickly. From then onwards we can proceed as slow as we like.

• Write into the navigation bar of your browser http://192.168.2.101:8087/rmc_test.html, but do not yet press enter.
• Power on your device.
• When you see the KSM menu, press return (in the browser). The browser should now show a page with some buttons. (If nothing happens, press enter again. Maybe the first time was to early.)
• The first button is "kill KSM", press it. The screen should now be completely unresponsive.
• You can now zoom in or out [Ctrl-+, Ctrl--], so that you can see the whole page, including the output field at the bottom.
• Press "basic info". Copy the text from the output field to the text file.

  ### executed:echo $PRODUCT, $PRODUCT_ID, $CPU, $PLATFORM, $(uname -a), FW $(awk -F',' '{print $3}' /mnt/onboard/.kobo/version)
  kraken, 0x4173, mx50, mx50-ntx, Linux (none) 2.6.35.3-850-gbc67621+ #619 PREEMPT Thu Dec 22 15:29:00 CST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux, FW 4.7.10413

• Press "read rotate value"
• Copy the text from the output field to the text file.

  ### executed:cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate
  0

  And remember the value, since we will need it later.
• Press "start nickel, basic". Nickel will start. Give it some time to settle itself. Do not open any book, stay a the home screen. Anyway, you must return to the home screen before you do the next step.
• Press "exit nickel". You will not see any change on the screen. The only difference is that the screen is again unresponsive.
• Press "set 0", "set 1", "set 2", "set 3", depending on the value that was returned by "read rotate-value" (if the value was 0, do "set 0"if 1, do "set 1", and so on)
• Press "set read value again"
• Press "ksm message". There should appear the KSM message application, showing "ok" in the top left corner. [on the Kobo] Press the middle of the screen to open the bottom menu bar. Zoom in and out.
• [on the Kobo] Press "close", or [on the PC] press "exit ksm message". The screen will now again be unresponsive.
• Press again "ksm message". See whether the "ok" is again in the top left corner.
• If everything worked, repeat the sequence "ksm message" - "exit ksm message" several times to see, whether the screen orientation stays the same.
• Press "reboot" or (but only when things went well) press "ksm power off"

Please report what happened and post the results that you copied to the text file.

Yes, I use USBnet.
The results are the same from experiment 1: the second intent for ksm message OK is inverted on bottom right corner

Yes, v0.3.2 with plato dir in .adds and with plato.sh for ksm within plato dir. May be I did something wrong?

[tshering]

Thank you Boriar! I just want to be certain. Did you execute

• Press "set 0", "set 1", "set 2", "set 3", depending on the value that was returned by "read rotate-value" (if the value was 0, do "set 0"if 1, do "set 1", and so on)

I am asking because in your output I do not see:

• ### executed:echo '2' > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate

As for plato. You do not need "plato.sh for ksm within plato dir". Please call plato from the webinterface. But this should not have any influence on the index out of range error.

Read Rotate Vaue:

### executed:cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate
2

Press again "ksm message". See whether the "ok" is again in the top left corner.
(No, it is in lower right corner, upside down)

When I hit KSM Message/Exit KSM Message, it alternates between upper left corner and upside down in lower right corner.

Thank you! That confirms the result by Boriar.

Yes, I press "set 2" because that was the number I obtained from "read rotate-value", only forgot to copy there

I tried to star plato from ksm, from webinterface and again deleting first the plato.sh by baskerville and nothing always the same crash.log. Is it working from ksm08?

Yes, it does, and also on KSM 09. At least with Touch C, Koblo Glo, Glo HD.

[boriar]

Does I need to make a previous steps to play plato?

[tshering]

Can we do another test?
Do the things like in test 2, but after the first "exit ksm message"

• copy into the line field

  [ "$(cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate)" == "0" ] && cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate; $ksmroot/kbmessage.sh "ok"

  and press "execute"
• when the message appears, press "exit ksm message"
• if it works, repeat "execute" - "exit ksm message" several times.

If you run it from the webinterface you have to "kill KSM", before you start plato. The orientation value will very likely be wrong. We wanted to find the correct one. But unfortunately, there is some other error that makes plato exit (on your device).
The number of items of the list mentioned in the error log is very close to the number of the registered books (all .pngs). Could you copy some other books to the device, just to see whether the error message changes?

[tshering]

Sorry, I did a typo in the command line in post 38. I have it corrected now. I think I should finish for today.

Sorry about that: it will be fixed in the next version.

In the meantime, you can prevent the crash by having at least 8 imported documents.

[boriar]

old text: No luck. Same result (with old code line, I will try with the correct)

YES!! Finally correct orientation

### executed:echo PRODUCT=$PRODUCT, PRODUCT_ID=$PRODUCT_ID, CPU=$CPU, PLATFORM=$PLATFORM,\WIFI_MODULE=$WIFI_MODULE, WIFI_MODULE_PATH=$WIFI_MODULE_PATH\uname=$(uname -a), FW=$(awk -F',' '{print $3}' /mnt/onboard/.kobo/version)

2


### executed:echo '2' > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate


### executed:echo $(cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate) > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate

And yes. With "Kill KSM", then "Star plato" work but inverted (or may be because I put an other epub )

[tshering]

Sorry for the wrong code line.

I understand that by "inverted" you mean upside down. Only if this is the case, do the following.

After a fresh start of the device. (Nickel should not have been running, so that the rotation problem does not yet appear). Then

• "kill KSM"
• "set 1"
• "set read value again"
• "start plato as is"

If it works and you will return to KSM, the rotation problem might be back. Just "power off" for now.

@tshering
Please, read my post #42 because I have edited it. Should I do the new instructions of #43?

Good news! (I almost overlooked this message)

Yes, the number of books was the culprit, see the post of Baskerville above.
