I tried using the Xterm but it tells me runme.sh is not found ( even though i copied it into the device )

All the steps before i think i have done fine because i can rotate the screen and i have the launcher menu but it doesnt apply to the web browser.

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: tried using framework Mario and work but because its not root account wont let me do the commands.

You can set root password to whatever you want:

Also, it seems that you tried to enable SSH over wifi. You don't need this, because you connect via USB network. You have to copy sftp-server to your device and continue with steps above.

Ok thanks, i think i got it, i had to put the ;un password "new pass" while being usbnetworked and putty connected.

Now im trying to type the commands And this is where i have come up to so far:

login as: root
root@192.168.0.13's password:
[root@kindle root]# mntroot rw
system: I mntroot:def:Making root filesystem writeable
[root@kindle root]# mv sftp-server /usr/libexec/sftp-server ln -s /usr/lib/libcr
ypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
mv: invalid option -- 's'
BusyBox v1.17.1 (2012-04-04 20:02:59 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: mv [OPTIONS] SOURCE DEST
or: mv [OPTIONS] SOURCE... DIRECTORY

Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY

Options:
-f Don't prompt before overwriting
-i Interactive, prompt before overwrite

[root@kindle root]# login as: root
root@192.168.0.13's password:
[root@kindle root]# mntroot rw
Password:
BusyBox v1.17.1 (2012-04-04 20:02:59 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: mv [OPTIONS] SOURCE DEST
or: mv [OPTIONS] SOURCE... DIRECTORY

Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY

Options:
-f Don't prompt before overwriting
-i Interactive, prompt before overwrite

[root@kindle root]#

And there is where i am at.

I dont have the /mnt/us/ In my computer so the sftp-server is on the main directory of the kindles drive

Thanks for the help im a total ignorant in computer programming and sorry for all the hassle.

It is rather unusual that /mnt/us is not mounted, unless there is some kind of problem.

If you are root, you can mount /mnt/us manually (with 8K offset), as used in the "select boot" data.tar.gz payload. Or even easier, just use the built-in "mntus" script.

If you are totally ignorant of computer programming I'm not sure the mntus command will help you but I have included a USAGE listing for you here.

[root@kindle bin]# mntus
system: W mntus:def:usage: /usr/sbin/mntus [--loop | --fsck] [mount | umount]

Seriously though. check that you really need to do this. seems weirdness.

I can happily report that after sadly losing the data cable for the lovely 8Mpix Video Camera, I have now replaced this:

With the Barbie Harumika Fashion Camera! That's right the girl who has everything now come with a mind boggling 400 Pixels resolution free webcam

Well happy days to me... Now.. Barbie Products are core supported in Slackware right?

I had /var/tmp/root as my local directory instead of /mnt/us here.
Maybe problem is this also for this case .

ie using this command may help:

mntroot rw
mv /mnt/us/sftp-server /usr/libexec/sftp-server
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

(just like mmatej suggested)

Tried this and this is what i got:

[root@kindle root]# mntus
system: W mntus:def:usage: /usr/sbin/mntus [--loop | --fsck] [mount | umount]
[root@kindle root]# system: W mntus:def:usage: /usr/sbin/mntus [--loop | --fsck]
[mount | umount]
-sh: system:: not found
-sh: --fsck]: not found
-sh: umount]: not found
[root@kindle root]#

Sorry, im totally ignorant in this.

Also, tried again mmatej original

mntroot rw
mv /mnt/us/sftp-server /usr/libexec/sftp-server
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

and got this:

login as: root

system: I mntroot:def:Making root filesystem writeable
[root@kindle root]# mv /mnt/us/sftp-server /usr/libexec/sftp-server

When it says it has failed, that is a good time to stop typing.

When you have a Kindle, connected to another computer, in normal operation the top-most directory of that USB storage area is known as /mnt/us when accessing the kindle by ssh (or other methods).

So that message just told you that sftp-server is not in the top most directory of the "USB storage area".
Fix that before continuing.

For first part to be done successfully, you need to copy the sftp-server binary to the root folder of the Kindle storage (i.e. no subfolders) - download it here - it's already unpacked, just transfer it. The second error is okay. It means the symlink is there.

Ok, i think i did that correctly... now... for total noobness in this im gonna ask the question:

What do you mean when you say connect to stfp??

Also when i connect should the command be like this?

<script type="text/javascript">src="../shared/js/wafjs.js"></script>

Download and install WinSCP, connect to 192.168.15.244 and change the files /opt/var/local/waf/browser/index.html and /var/local/waf/browser/index.html:

<script type="text/javascript">kindle.dev.setOrientation('auto');</script>

[MaPePeR]

Can we change these files without problems?
Most of the .html files have a MD5 sum stored somewhere.
The Kindle could use that and think, that its bricked or that it needs to update the OS, because the file is "broken".

Im really helpfull for your help, i probably wont have problems changing those files but i cant seem to figure out how to connect with winscp, it says Network error: connection timed out.

i downloaded the program i assume its also on port 22 and i use root as login and password as the same as for shsh connection??

Also, does usbnetwork has to be on or off??

If you want me to i can open a new threadin a non developers forum and continue there, i dont want to derail this one from its main purpose.

Yes, you need to have usbnet turned on, connected to the computer, and you need to mount root r/w (issue mntroot rw in SSH). Password is the same (SFTP is SSH subsystem).
Also, as MaPePeR said, there are checksums of several files and they are being compared as a part of update process. You should undo steps above before updating your firmware (i.e mntroot rw, remove that symlink, and revert changes made to the files in WinSCP.

I opened a new thread, someone that is programing dsaavy probably has more than enopugh info for the issue at hand.

We can continue there if you dont mind.
