SSH server not working in firmware 5.18.5
The SSH server stopped working after the latest Kindle firmware update (version 5.18.5).
When I try to enable SSH, I get the following error message: "Failed to start SSH server".

Try a new KOReader nightly and see if it works.

Maybe try telnet as a replacement?
I don’t know if you can do it through KOReader though

is the ssh server of the native firmware no longer availible in this firmware?

Im still on the 4.x versions but the kobo ssh has the advantage that it doesn’t get disconnected eg when koreader restarts.
