where is ssh?

[peepo]

# ssh
-sh: ssh: not found

checked /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin

find / ssh
...
find: ssh: No such file or directory

I can ssh into kindle...
/usr/bin/scp is present and used

foxed.

ssh is the client program on your host computer, obviously you have that from the highlighted part of your post.

So are you looking for the ssh client on the Kindle or the ssh server on the Kindle?

The server on the Kindle is **not** named ssh.
It will be sshd (daemon) or one of the names used for the server by dropbear.
It just depends on what you installed to your Kindle (there is more than one networking package for the Kindles).

/mnt/us/usbnet/bin/sshd

[twobob]

and for me

/mnt/base-us/usr/bin/ssh
/etc/upstart/sshd.conf

[peepo]

on the Kindle Touch I would like to run:
$ ssh jaymini@192.168.15.20 -X
then say:
$ midori &
or similar

/mnt/base-us/usr/bin/ssh not present as yet...
/mnt/base-us/usr/ also not present...

/usr/sbin/sshd exists, but not clear to me how this would help...
ie sshd lets me login from another machine,
but this is not what I am trying to do

and once again thanks for the fantastic support

You want the ssh **CLIENT** on your Kindle Touch. Got It.

Depending on which USB networking package you installed, you may already have it.
Names (with links) to what you have already installed please.

So... errr... WHY? What are you trying to do???

dev is the PC name on the kindle in my case:

[root@kindle root]# ssh me@dev

me@dev's password:
Welcome to Linux Mint 13 Maya (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-35-generic i686)

Welcome to Linux Mint
* Documentation: http://www.linuxmint.com

Last login: Sun Feb 17 14:27:10 2013 from k
Cannot open display "default display"
me@dev ~ $

So at that point I would be "in"

However

me@dev ~ $ midori

would give

Midori - Cannot open display:

Or
me@dev ~ $ DISPLAY=:0 midori

would work but open the browser on your PC not the kindle.


So... If you are trying to run a midori browser on the KINDLE that is in fact installed on the PC.. say so. as this is indeed possible.

if you are simply trying to start applications on your PC from KINDLE then you already have the solution.

installed Launcher and kterm

# ls /mnt/us/extensions/
helper kterm

but not 'extend' package as yet:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...:_.22Extend.22
these instructions are a little vague,
and I am not sure of the method or intention.
though clearly openssh is included.

is there another simpler way to install ssh client?

[knc1]

Which "K5" the K5-Touch or the K5-Paperwhite?

Install the USBnetworking package, which includes both dropbear and OpenSSH builds.

[peepo]

K5 touch have USBnetworking package and dropbear,

/usr/bin/dropbear

but...

[twobob]

K5 Touch.

Install usbnetworking.

reboot.

done.

That's EXACTLY what I just demonstrated above with.

The binary should "just-run" - without the extra libs. Cheers

many thanks twobob for your patience,
so onwards to the crux:

"So... If you are trying to run a midori browser on the KINDLE that is in fact installed on the PC.. say so. as this is indeed possible."

Howto?

ssh running fine now, should add to Touch notes, waiting on Howto, tx again

[knc1]

Give us the link to the USBnetworking package you installed - there is more than one of them.

ERM... It's a LONG time since I did this...

Basically you convince the PC that the kindle is a display like DISPLAY=:2 or something and open the application in that.

I have lost the thread exactly where I did it.

here is a screen type solution
http://hackaday.com/2012/09/11/using...avel-computer/

here is an old python solution https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...41#post1726641

That sort of thing anyways. if I find the thread I will share it.
