Is it just me or is it that they introduced a password to the telnet? I enable it with nm, yet I am prompted for password.

As has been mentioned several times, root now has a password. However you can use admin/admin as the user/password.

Adding a password to root is not a bad thing. It used to be a pretty big security hole that you had the telnet daemon running with a passwordless root login any time you had Developer Mode enabled.

I'd personally prefer that they added a proper SSH binary, but c'est la vie.

The current firmware does not enable telnet with Developer Mode. You can still use telnet by enabling it from NickelMenu.

Thanks, although I have read the thread I must have somehow I missed it.

I want to thank @Semwize for updating some of the offsets. It really fixes the patches.

I upgraded my Libra2 and Claras about 3 weeks ago, then applied a few patches, 'Remove recommendations (row1col2) from home screen' was one of them. All worked as expected.

I never turn on wifi and connect, all the upgrades were done offline. Two days ago, I rebooted my Libra2 which I do once a week or so and it wasn't the first time since the upgrade. 'Recommendations' were back where I was used to seeing one of my collections on the home page.

Only on the Libra2, the Claras are still fine. I double checked the yaml files and installed the patches again. 'Recommendations' are still there.

Not earth shattering or anything, just weirdness. But I was wondering if changing the offset might fix it? I don't mind experimenting, but not sure which way to change the offset.

You could try applying the patches again and see how you get on.

The other thing, you don't need to reboot once a week. I don't and my Libra 2 is good to go. The last reboot was when I installed the patches for 4.38.23038.

I reboot when it says all my epubs are adobe protected etc. So a few times a year?

Rebooting doesn't hurt anything and often helps.
