KUAL problem on 5.9.4 - KOA ver. 1
I have a KOA ver.1 and upgraded it to 5.9.4, then reinstalled KUAL but it gave me blank screen, after several times of uninstall/reinstall I made a mistake: I deleted the KUAL booklet,then tried to install KUAL again, but the booklet never appears.
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...highlight=kual this artical gives a solution to the KUAL blank screen issue, I tried to run "runme.sh" before and after uninstall/reinstall KUAL but still the booklet is nowhere to be found. I tried with the latest version of MRPI and KUAL on this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 anyone here can help me with this? many thanks in advance! |

1) "runme.sh" <<-- wrong
make a file named 'RUNME.sh' on the root of your USB drive with this contents ( name needs that capitalization ) 2) Make sure there are no windows newlines in the file File must use Unix line endings. 3) How are you running the file? 4) What appears on the screen when you enter the command? |

2) I created the file on a Linux VM and copied to kindle, the file ending should be fine, below is the output of "cat -A RUNME.sh" on Linux: #!/bin/sh$ # mount system$ mntroot rw $ # remove bad kualbooklet jar$ rm "/opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/KUALBooklet.jar" $ # install my test jar$ cp "/mnt/us/KUALBooklet.jar" "/opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/KUALBooklet.jar"$ 3) I tried to run the file with ";log runme" and ";log RUNME" in search bar 4) nothing happens after I enter the command in search bar, and I waited about 5 seconds before restart kindle Last edited by wxkingcisc; 03-29-2018 at 11:29 PM. |

What are all of those $ characters?
Please use the code, /code tags (or the "advanced editor") to quote character exact code here. Note: Quote:
= = = = = If you do need to re-install anything, start by installing the 'fix anything fixable' package: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...68&postcount=4 That package is built specially to allow it to be installed from the highest level of visible USB storage using the Amazon 'update' menu entry. That is, you don't have to put it in /mrpackages and use MrPI to install it. Last edited by knc1; 03-30-2018 at 09:43 AM. |

VIM?
Real programmers use: copy con filename.exe Try cut and paste. Note: When using a *nix program editor, on *nix, you don't have to set any option to get *nix EoL. Those programs will default to the correct line ending for the system they are build to run on. = = = = Have you installed the booklet version of KUAL? What is in the MrPI log file after attempting to install the booklet version of KUAL? (don't cat -A the file, post it as an attachment, use: man cat to find out what -A does to cat) |

After upgraded kindle to 5.9.4, I reinstalled KUAL but the booklet gave me blank screen, after several times of uninstall/reinstall I deleted the booklet (like delete a book in library), after that I tried to install KUAL (booklet version) and run RUNME.sh, but the booklet cannot be found in the library.

You keep writing "booklet" and yet you are sometimes combining that with actions only appropriate to the "document" version.
Please include the complete filenames in your description. |

I tried to install/uninstall KUAL booklet version many times and run RUNME.sh many times and KUAL is nowhere to be found. Then I installed usbnet and connected to KOA with SecureCRT, then I found this: Code:
[root@kindle root]# ls -al /opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/ | grep KUAL -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 65952 Apr 10 16:42 KUALBooklet.jar -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 65952 Apr 8 15:31 KUALBooklet.jar? Code:
rm "/opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/KUALBooklet.jar" cp "/mnt/us/KUALBooklet.jar" "/opt/amazon/ebook/booklet/KUALBooklet.jar" I don't know how to fix this and I'm tired of trying. I have no rights to request anyone to help me, but please don't tell me that "this works for everyone so it's your problem". No matter how long you've done computer related jobs and how much you're familiar with this, there're always things you don't know. Yeah I've read this from another post but I'm not as lucky as the other guy who resolved this with Putty. I respect you as much as other contributors on this forum, thanks for your help anyway.

Re-read the script or the greeting message when you first log into the Kindle.
Notice that the root of the file system is set to read-only until you change it, and you never post that you changed it. - - - - Quote:
The package name is in the form of an: "update_*.bin" package. You do not un-install those with "rm" ("rm" is what you use with the document version, not the booklet version). For "update_*_install.bin" packages, you must use the "update_*_uninstall.bin" package. So your only problem is not following directions. Eventually, you will either figure out that you are the source of your technical problems or just give up and follow the directions. |

2. I didn't mean to "uninstall" the package with "rm". RUNME.sh shows very clearly that the "old" KUALBooklet.jar should be replaced with the "new" one which comes along with RUNME.sh, so I did exactly what RUNME.sh should do, after install KUAL booklet version. I believe I did follow those directions. |

Good, then you don't have a problem.
It is very difficult to give you specific advice when you keep significant information to yourself. Let us know if you ever figure out what your problem is, if you think you still have one. |
