Kobo processes
Hi all,
I am trying to put together something similar to this project: https://github.com/Mavireck/Kobo-Dashboard In the code, there is a script that turns off a bunch of Kobo processes: Code:
# Stop kobo software because it's running killall nickel hindenburg sickel fickel fmon > /dev/null 2>&1
What I'm really interested in figuring out is how to disable the default home page on the Kobo, and to stop the clock from being updated. Thanks in advance. |

Hindenburg is the crash handler (for... obvious reasons ^^) .
Fickel is barely used anymore. The basic idea is that if you want to kill nickel, you *have* to kill the full set of *el daemons + hindenburg to avoid sickel throwing a tantrum . (PS: The canonical source for that list is the KOReader startup script, as how the environment of whatever kills nickel is set dictates whether you'll be able to restart it sanely without having to reboot). |

Perfect thanks for the info, especially the list of processes to bring down with nickel. |

Hey,
sorry if this is kind of a stupid question but how I would I go about password protecting the root SSH access? I tried logging in as the root user and setting a password for that user using the passwd command but either the password wasn't set for some reason or it isn't checked when logging in over SSH because I can still connect without a password. There is a second user called admin but I was kind of scared about just changing random user passwords around because I don't know if that could end up with my reader bricked. On an unrelated sidenote I can confirm for any potential future readers that these tools still seem to work on a Kobo Clara 2E. Last edited by Scrath; 01-06-2024 at 12:06 PM. |

@Scrath:
c.f., the comments around `SSHD_OPTS` in `/usr/local/stuff/bin/stuff-daemons.sh` You might also want to disable telnet, which is also patched for passwordless logins. |
