Can't patch Kobo Glo anymore
So, i've been patching my Kobo Glo just fine, and today I wanted to add the `Reading stats/Author name cut when the series is showing bug fix, but when I add the KoboRoot.tgz file to the main directory, after I unplug my Kobo, nothing happens, no update nor restart.

Does anyone know why is this happening? Everytime I plug my Kobo again, I can see the file in the main directory, it used to disappear before.

I'm not sure what you mean by "main directory" but the place you should be putting KoboRoot.tgz is in the /.kobo directory.

This is happening because you are not doing it correctly. Just put it in the kobo folder and it should work just fine.

Just a correction, the folder names is ".kobo".

And to add to this ... the period at the beginning of the name is how Linux hides files and directories. You may not (probably won't) see the directory without specifically telling your computer to show hidden files.

And to add to this... I believe this also can happen on OSX.

And to add to this, you can unhide hidden folders/files in OS X with key combination shift-command-dot.

In my version of Linux (Linux Mint Mate) Ctrl+h toggles between "hidden" or "shown."
