KSM disappeared after update to 3.19.5613
Hello, I am new to this forum. I have a Kobo Aura H2O, and I have installed KSM 08 under firmware 3.18, together with KoReader. Everything was working fine. Today I installed update to 3.19.5613, using the "handle update" from KSM. After the update, KSM will not start anymore. Power off then power on only gives me nickle.
How can I get KSM back? Should I reinstall KSM? Thank you for your help. |

Welcome!It is more convenient to reinstall only those files that have been overwritten by the firmware update. Extract KoboRoot.tgz from the uploaded archive and copy it into .kobo.
Next time please select "install partial update" instead of "install update" when installing a firmware update. Last edited by tshering; 04-07-2017 at 03:17 AM. |

Firmware 3.19.5613 replaces the font file Ryumin.otf with KBJ-TsukuMinPr6N-RB.ttf, and changes in the database the reading font family "A-OTF Ryumin Pr6N R-KL" to "KBJ-TsukuMin Pr6N RB". If this creates problems for you (as it does for some users) you might try the following:
at 1): You can do this for instance by using the update mechanism (KoboRoot.tgz), or by the KSM function "copy sysmirror to sys.sh" (cf. this post) at 2): You can copy the script for instance into .adds/kbmenu_user/scripts, and run it by selecting "user scripts" > "tsukuMin2ryumin.sh". Edit: You can back up your database by selecting "tools" > "back up and restore" > "restore" > "restore db.sh" Last edited by tshering; 12-11-2015 at 04:24 PM. |

No, this would not help. I do not know about how to unzip on a Mac. Evidently, the way you do it does more than extracting the content of the zip archive; it also unpacks the contained tgz file. Extract KoboRoot.tgz in the same way as you did when you installed KSM 08.

I used another utility to unzip the archive. The KSM is up and running now!!
Thank you so much for your help!! |

I updated post #63, which concerns the newly introduced KBJ-TsukuMinPr6N-RB.ttf.

Hello. Thanks for this awesome software. I have a few questions. I apologize if I've missed some resource where these are answered.
1) I've been wanting to write a small sqlite script that will bump all the useful PNGs to the top of my home screen. For that reason I need to have that script run on startup. I couldn't find how/if KSM executes user-provided scripts at startup (nothing that I could find in rcS or ksmhome.sh). Is there a recommended way to do this? 2) The bouncer always starts rotated. I notice it comes in two flavours (kbbouncer.sh and kbbouncer90.sh). How do I get it to use the vertical one? 3) The power button seems to not do anything while in KSM. Is that expected? 4) Is there a way to change the poweroff screen to the one that nickel uses? (I don't seem to be able to find it in /etc/images/, although ffmpeg didn't convert everything properly) 5) Last but not least, is development taking place publicly somewhere? Edit: 6) Is there a way to power off from inside KOreader? Last edited by refj; 12-26-2015 at 05:58 PM. |

Also, consider 4 resolved as well. I figured out that the font in the "powered off" is screen "CMU Serif Bold Italic", so I made my own version of that. |

Code:
bouncer=$ksmroot/kbbouncer/kbbouncer.sh Code:
bouncer=$ksmroot/kbbouncer/kbbouncer90.sh Or you could rename kbbouncer90.sh to kbbouncer.sh. It forces a power off if you hold it for 20 seconds or so. It wakes up the device from suspend. |

In fact, here's my startup tile-bumping script, in case it benefits someone else too. Note that I haven't bothered with proper resolution of filepaths so this is just for the Kobo Glo HD for all I know. Spoiler:

And yet another question: If I sideload books while outside of nickel, is there a way to force it to rescan my sd card? |

Thanks again tshering.
I've been working on these changes for koreader and noticed a couple of problems with $dontTamperwithFrontlight in KSM. (a) The meaning was inverted: The code changes the value of the frontlight when this variable is set to "true" and (b) it wasn't used everywhere I believe it should. For this reason I've put together a patch that (a) fixes this and also (b) allows koreader to be aware of and delete "onstart/nickelkoreaderloop.sh" to end the koreader-nickel / nickel-koreader loop. https://gist.github.com/dset0x/a02f4ef0ff1897608e15 (Edit: By the way: why are "trilogy" and "pixie" excluded from this?) Please let me know if you see any issues with it. It would be great if it could made it to the next KSM release. Last edited by refj; 01-11-2016 at 05:02 PM. |
