Thanks, DNSB, this is definitely interesting. With my Win10 22H2 19045.4412:

(1) Clicking on the .tar.xz does nothing. According to
Quote:
this site
, Win10's explorer can only extract .zip files. A right click doesn't get me an "extract all", but in the "open with" it suggests the Raspberry Pi Imager (an artifact of my past .xz usage).

(2) using 7-zip 9.22 beta, I opened the .xz -- and got exactly the same results you did. There was the .tgz file large as life. (Incidentally, I see that 7-zip is up to v24.06, so it's time for me to upgrade)

Ha! My problem was that I extracted the .xz instead of opening it. Trying again, it seems that extracting the .xz gives me the .tar. Extracting the tar gives me a message wanting to know if I wish to replace an one file with another. In retrospect, I should have paid more attention to this, as this sort of thing is never a good sign. Answering yes or no gives me the extracted contents of the .tgz

I learned something from this. Thank you for your time and effort.

Hi,

Does this plugin support the latest Kobo models, such as the Clara BW?

I followed the instructions, but I am getting the error message "[FBInk] Unidentified Kobo device code (390)."

And, also, the bundled binaries are currently slightly outdated, so you'll want to build fbink yourself until I manage to update all of this.

Thanks for the information. I've successfully built FBInk, but I have another question.
How can I upgrade py-fbink? There don't seem to be any build instructions on GitHub.

It's a "bit" of a PITA.

c.f., https://github.com/NiLuJe/FBInk/blob...i/fbink_decl.c (which isn't entirely up-to-date)

Then mangle the output from ffi-cdecl into py-fbink's build.py, then build that in a cross-aware fashion (I'm using a patched distutilscross, because upstream is dead; but crossenv should work).

I... wouldn't recommend attempting any of that unless you already have experience cross-compiling Python 3 modules, because it's an hilariously awful experience.

Newbie question:

  • How do you open this tools? For example, I want to open a shell.

Device: Kobo Clara Colour
Firm: 4.39.23027
KFMon: 1.4.6-66
Kor: v2024.07
Plato: 0.9.43 (but not working on this device)

KoboStuff has been installed next to those. V. 1.6.N-r18901

Please, help me to understand how to "launch", "call", "open", the KoboStuff binaries.

(I can test packages and developments in this Clara Colour model, by the way .... it seems to be 'not compatible' with almost every stuff created)
