Seriously, for a developer the usbnetwork hack is a must. But it's quite easy to make a nice update package of any application for less experienced users. |

Lol - well since I score well on both those attributes I might give this a miss. Unless of course someone wanted to make an update package? *flutters eyelashes* |

Running your compiled version of myts.arm on my Kindle 3 (Wifi) results in a Segmentation Fault while the original Luigi release works fine.
I was also wondering if you would be kind enough to post the link to the X patch |

I need help on working with Rizzo's kindle standalone terminal app. I'm very noob at this, so go easy.. :( (..and I don't even think I'm at the right topic)
I followed the instructions step by step on http://tinyapps.org/docs/kindle_stan..._terminal.html and everything went fine, until I reached this: Quote:
I tried the fullscreen version of this. Same problem. What am I doing wrong? Is there a key that I can use to get around this? Or am I doing everything wrong? Last edited by Hato; 06-10-2011 at 09:48 PM. |

I think the description is missing that you need to "mntroot rw" (i.e. remount your root filesystem to be writable) in order to create the file with said contents.

]firstly i would like to thank you for your great job, it works wonderfully on my kindle 3w.
though i don't know if it is a bug or supposed to be, but after i use any other shift and key combination if im not mistaken, the terminal will not start anymore by using shift and t. Last edited by tomashg; 05-18-2011 at 07:48 PM. |

Could you do this on a different OS like Windows? I've been looking for instructions of how to do this on windows, can't seem to find it. Just a question.

Sorry for such a late post but the solution to this problem is you need to make the script executable. Basically after you create the new script file you need to run a chmod +x on it. This step is missing from some instructions on the web. |

Ima gonna lose it
Starting information: using Kindle 3g 3rd gen
This is an amazing app, perfect for turning the kindle into a standalone device. Except for one problem. I can only get this to run if I run "# /mnt/us/kiterm/myts.arm" over SSH. As you can see this is a problem if I ever want to use the terminal apart from my home network and laptop. I tried to fix it by uninstalling launchpad. Big surprise, I get the "U007" error and a failed update, which I had also gotten when trying to install duokan until I gave up and install over SSH. So I then decided to prevent it by starting. I backup up the launchpad files in init.d and rcS.d using winSCP. I then remounted root as read only and deleted them. After a reboot SHIFT+T still didn't bring up the terminal. I'm getting to the point where I'll back everything up and just restore my kindle to factory default and try again. I think it would be really cool to have a native debian install on my kindle... |
