Hi guys!
Today my K got update to 5.6.1 (Yes, I know, I had to install OTA prevention, but I didn't) So, I lost some hacks, but I was really glad to know that KUAL still work. In KUAL, I had only kterm and KOReader. kterm is working, but KOR isn't. Can I get it work someway? I really need to read DJVUs on my K. Thank you |

You have kTerm still working?
As what user? (Enter: whoami ) If your (still) root - then you probably can fix things up from the kTerm command line. |

your running as user 'framework' you want to 'switch user' (I.E: su) without root having a password. check the files in NiLuJe's most recent jailbreak package, there may be an 'su' utility in there, if there is, it is one that doesn't check for or ask for a password. ![]() |

setuid bit, dust off your unix manual about file permissions
![]() Given the fact that you need to be root to actually set the setuid bit (obviously), catch-22: you're screwed. [And even before that, you also need to be on a FS which actually handles unix permissions, ie. not vfat, which rules out the userstore]. Last edited by NiLuJe; 12-04-2014 at 02:00 PM. |

On a complete (not an embedded) Linux system:
man suid that is the man(ual) command to look up suid Also recognized by web search engines, just search: man suid as in: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/man.1.html |

I believe KUAL now automatically elevates to root before running extensions (that was part and parcel of the JB=1.13 update).
Have you checked you are running the latest version of KUAL (2.5)? Last edited by eschwartz; 12-09-2014 at 06:57 PM. |

@Case: As @eschwartsz mentioned, upgrade to KUAL >= 2.5, it'll take care of everything.

The busybox and anything else in /bin will be replaced with the next Amazon upgrade ; The things in /var/local belong to you, they will not be replaced. Hackish as it may seem, leave the special su where it is and use a full path to it in any scripting - - that is much more likely to be a stable solution.
