I was lazy and diverted the standard output into a file for debugging , I assume that was the problem.
If that is the case, this new version should help.

@yoq: mmmmhhh, good point
About the file, I mean that in the tweak sh script you create a real file with echo, but not a FIFO.

@tshering: so did you have changed the aspect of bars and dictionaries using CSS? How?

@Lucas Malor
OK, so you mean I should use a file to save the state when powering the kobo off?
That's a good idea, I'll implement it in the next release when Mingyars problem is fixed.

Well, it's a good idea, but I mean that it seem you already create a real file, since in the nightmode.sh there's a echo but no mkfifo.

@tshering: what a pity, it would be fantastic if kobo style could be personalized using CSS

The problem is, autorun.sh is execute before the internal sd storage is mounted. If you look into rcS, it starts with "/sbin/udevadm trigger", the mount comes a few lines after that.
Thinking about it, it should be possible to wait for the mount in the script.

No, the hack executes mkfifo on startup, and so echo just writes into the fifo.
But using a real file would be bad for the sd, and make things slower.

Maybe one could prepare the uninstall already at the time of the installation in the rcS file.

Code:
if [ -e /root/unistallscreenInv.sh ]; then
	/root/unistallscreenInv.sh
	/usr/local/Kobo/nickel -qws \&
else
	LD_PRELOAD=/mnt/onboard/.kobo/screenInv.so /usr/local/Kobo/nickel -qws \&
fi
unistallscreenInv.sh would do the cleanup. I don't know how to restore the original crS from the unistallscreenInv.sh. Would be easy if the "if ... fi" block would be a one-liner. Is this possible by using semicolons? (I am not a linux user and just started with bash because of the kobo. So I am just fooling around.)

Thanks Yok but problems are still here.

No serial informations transmitted to the Kobo after plugin installed.

After uninstall of the plugin by the uninstaller KoboRoot.tgz, 3 files still remain in .kobo folder (screenInvertLog, nightmode.sh and screenInv.so)

Only thing better, after uninstall completed by deleting manually the 3 files, no need to factory reset.

With "serial informations", do you mean the serial port?

Please tell me how I can reproduce the problem.

Do you mean the series information as in Harry Potter#1, Harry Potter#2... ?
You seem to use the kepub.epub plugin. Do you also use the shelf management settings?

@Mingyar: can you reinstall and re-uninstall the plugin, add a test.sh entry to the kobotweaks.ini and write such a file with:
Code:
cat /etc/init.d/rcS > /mnt/onboard/.kobo/mydebug.log
restart the kobo and execute the test entry, mount the kobo, search for .kobo/mydebug.log and post here its contents?

@yoq: ok, let me know if I have understood: you are dynamically linking a C library to nickel bin. The library contains a class, which constructor is automatically invoked. The constructor creates the FIFO. Since this is done at startup, any echo will be directed to the FIFO? Right?

Thank you for the C for dummies lesson

No, not serial port, but, as Samhy says, the line added under the title in the library for collections.

And yes I use the Calibre's plugin to send epub in kepub format (xxx.kepub.epub)
The plugin is described here : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=211135

I'll try to dump the rcS file as soon as possible.

Thanks again to take care
