Info: I just got my first ereader, a brand new Kobo H2O (the model with the external SD card) and have updated to the latest firmware 4.5.9587
I installed KBStartMenu_08.zip and the patch. I can get USB access. But I still can't get wifi to work. I can see the networks and apparently can connect. But there is no way for me to see the IP. And the test/example scripts to wget from accuweather don't work. It would be great for the "wifi" have an action to show the IP address. Apparently I'm connected to a known network, but the If I don't know the IP how am I supposed to connect? (I don't have access to the router right now, so unable to check devices) So how can I telnet/ssh over wifi? Hopefully that will be better than the constant enable/disable usb every time I want to transfer a file. At this time I'm hammering down my user experience with Calibre, koreader and figuring out navigation and annotations... all a bit new and frustrating right now *exhales* May I suggest updating the first post to say that the patch must be installed from nickel. I wasn't able to get USB access until I did it from there. Thanks in advance. Last edited by the_need_to_read; 08-12-2017 at 02:20 PM. |

Thank you for your work and the help on this one tshering.
After installing the telnet package I'm now able to telnet into it. But how do I copy files from/to it? I'm used to scp and rsync, but had no luck with these. Tried rcp but same thing. In an ideal world I'd like to sync both ways. But I'd be happy with just uni-directional pull or push. |

Log in with File protocol: FTP Host name: 192.168.2.101 User name: root But since you are mentioning rsync and scp, I guess you are a linux user. The above login data should help you. By the way, if you install pbchess, KSM can use its dropbear, if this is of use to you. You have to enable it in KSM with "configure". Set [general]useDropbear=true. EDIT: It seems I should get some sleep now. What I said above concerns usbnet, whearas you are using wifi. Then you have of course a different IP. And you have to start dropbear manually. KSM does not do it by itself. Last edited by tshering; 08-12-2017 at 06:39 PM. |

I think the easiest way to move ebooks via Wifi, from your PC to a KOReader equipped device, is to use the calibre content server with the OPDS calibre catalog in KOReader.

Hello, you people!
I use KSM (v8) and KO Reader on my Kobo Glo (the early one). Every now and then the KSM doesn't starts afeter a complete discharge. Instead, only the Nickel starts up, even after turning off and on again a million times. So I have to install the alternatives firmwares back. And that only bothers me about the REAL problem: I hate the Nickel. It's been a whole year that it doesn't open none of my ePUBS. Sometimes it opens the ePUBS that I got from the store, but never opens the ones that I transfered from my PC. It opens directly on the last page of all the files that I want to read. And it doesn't turn the pages back also. Since the harware is working fine when I run the KSM and the KO Reader, it makes me think that it's some kind of programed obsolescence. In the other hand, the alterate firmwares are doing just fine. So I want to know if there's some way to make the KSM the only firmware on my Kobo, by slaying off the Nickel for good? Also, I would like to know if there is some way to make the KO Reader indifferent to the sleep covers, so it won't sleep and wake up automatically when it's near to magnets. My backpack has magnets all over the place, so when I catch my Kobo, it's everytime in a random screen. |

Perhaps you will find it encouraging that there are a number of us who haven't made hardly any use of Nickel or the stock reading programs, for some years now, in my case.
To answer your questions; You can set the launching program, KSM, to always open in KSM, at start up. You can then set KSM to launch KOReader (or Coolreader if you install the "pbchess" package), when KSM starts. That way Nickel is not started at all. After KOReader has been started and the settings files created: you can set ["ignore_power_sleepcover"] = true in settings.reader.lua Luck; Ken |
