One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato

[DNSB]

You should be able to install NickelMenu, KFMon and KOReader and/or Plato from the appropriate OCP package and script in one install. You should not need to install more than one package

My personal choice was to uninstall KFMon after the install and use NickelMenu to directly launch KOReader and Plato without having to tap on an icon. This also saves me from having to re-install KFMon after a firmware update.

So, was the order I followed correct?

and script in one install.
You should not need to install more than one package

Here, I didn’t quite understand... if you follow the installation with the script, even if you place both archives (KFMon and Plato + KOReader), the Powershell interface only allows installing one package at a time. After that, it prompts “Press Enter to exit.” Am I doing something wrong?

This time, I installed NickelMenu first, then placed the script and both archives in a separate folder and run Powershell, but it only one package letin to install at a time.

and use NickelMenu to directly launch KOReader and Plato without having to tap on an icon.

Also don’t quite understand which icons are being referred to. I’m always launching both Koreader and Plato as you described, through NickelMenu. Sorry for being dummy

I should probably add that it wasn’t my idea to reinstall everything. Everything had been working fine for a couple of months, but a few days ago, while I was browsing, the e-reader froze completely and took a long time to load, blinking the LED and restarting a couple of times. Then an indicator with a crossed-out book appeared. I pressed something, and the e-reader rebooted, wiping my entire library in the process.

@kusanagi You only need a single zip file! This one:



One zip next to PowerShell script, run the script and that's all.

So that "KOReader and Plato" zip archive actually contains/installs 4 things: NickelMenu, KFMon, KOReader, Plato.

The only reason there is a zip archive containing only KFMon is because after every firmware update you need to reinstall KFMon.

Now I think I understood... so what’s the best way to proceed right now? A factory reset again?

I’ll be honest, I don’t fully understand the purpose of KFMon. This thread - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=218283 says it’s a modernized version of fmon, I’ve never been a Linux user, and before my Kobo Libra 2, I had no experience using Kobo e-readers. I’ve always worked in the Windows environment. Are there any analogies in Windows to help me understand the purpose of KFMon? Is it like the cmd in Windows which working without user interface?

and what are these "icons" of Plato and Koreader that mr. DNSB talked about?

To be honest, I’m already regretting not choosing an Onyxbook.
