One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 38

steveparry · 04-23-2021, 04:49 PM

Well, installing this again is proving a challenge to put it mildly... After getting the 'Generator error' message on NickelMenu I tried reinstalling the KoReader+Plato package. This is the dialogue I get from Terminal on my Mac M1 Silicon:

Last login: Fri Apr 23 20:44:58 on ttys000
steveparry@Steves-MacBook-Pro ~ % /Volumes/KOBOeReader/install.command ; exit;
No supported packages found in the current directory (/Volumes/KOBOeReader)!
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]

I then properly eject the Kobo Libra but there is no instant rebooting. So I'm back to square one

I do not understand what I'm doing wrong! And thanks for your help Niluje - sorry for cross-posting earlier. Is it something to do with having an updated firmware and something to do with 'nix directory' ?

Are you on the directory where your *.zip files are? Seeing /Volumes/KoboeReader, probably not...

steveparry · 04-24-2021, 08:48 AM

I believe so. I downloaded the two zip files (Koreader package + install command), copied them onto the Kobo volume, then unzipped first the KoReader package then the install command. Then I opened the Install command and that is the dialogue I got back.

According to the directions in the 2nd post of this thread, you have to put the two ZIP files in the same directory on the computer (not the Kobo). UnZIP the install script to that directory and then run the install script.

Many thanks JSWolf. That did it. My misunderstanding.

serdar0020 · 04-25-2021, 12:53 PM

I've misunderstood the instructions too, about the proper order in which to install the ps1 script. So it's:
1. download OCP-KOReader-v2021.04.zip to DL folder (on computer)
2. download the install.ps1 file, place it in the same DL folder (on computer)
3. run install.ps1 script (which will modify the KOReader zip file)
3a. connect the device
4. extract the OCP-KOreader zip to root directory of device
5. eject, unplug

deleted (my mistake)

found the new "activate white/black background behind message"

3a. connect the device
4. extract the OCP-KOreader zip to root directory of device
5. eject, unplug

Minor corrections:

download OCP-KOReader-v2021.04.zip to DL folder (on computer)
download the install.ps1 file, place it in the same DL folder (on computer)
connect the device
run install.ps1 script which modifies the Kobo eReader.conf file with the ignore hidden directories and installs KOReader and/or Plato.
eject, unplug

Basically, the Kobo must be connected for the script to do anything useful. Otherwise, you will get the following error message:

Code:

PS C:\users\david\desktop> .\install.ps1
Couldn't find a Kobo eReader volume! Is one actually mounted?
* Nothing to do! Press Enter to exit:

Edit: Added what I see when I run install.ps1 with a Kobo connected:

Code:

PS C:\users\david\desktop> .\install.ps1

* Here are the available packages:
0: OCP-Plato-0.9.16_KOReader-v2021.04.zip


* Enter the number corresponding to the one you want to install: 0
* Preventing Nickel from scanning hidden directories . . .
* Installing OCP-Plato-0.9.16_KOReader-v2021.04.zip . . .
* Installation successful!
* Please make sure to unplug your device safely!
Press Enter to exit:

and "4a. extract the OCP-KOReader-v2021.04.zip to the root directory of device h:\"

right?

NiLuJe · 04-26-2021, 12:38 PM

@serdar0020: That's a resounding *NO*.

@DNSB's recap is entirely correct, complete, and to the point (thanks!).

Definitely wrong. The original .zip file is not modified but it's contents are copied to the attached Kobo ereader (the "* Installing OCP-Plato-0.9.16_KOReader-v2021.04.zip . . ." line in the output I posted) by the install script.

Hmm... I should have read NiLuJe's reply first.

serdar0020 · 05-01-2021, 10:15 AM

after my update to 2021.04 my punctuation marks look weird and I can't find the settings how to fix that (the epub looks fine in calibre or sigil)

NiLuJe · 05-01-2021, 01:07 PM

@serdar0020: That looks like a weird encoding mishap. Would you mind sending me a copy of the affected book *via PM* to double-check?

(I'd have proposed a scrambled copy, but the scrambling process would probably defeat the purpose of exposing the issue and/or would actually fix it ^^).

----

EDIT: For future reference, that was a broken book. (A <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/> in head while it was encoded in UTF-8). A 'Polish book' pass in calibre will fix it.

serdar0020 · 05-03-2021, 02:30 AM

done. thanks a lot

I know pdf's are not as popular here as they are with me, and it might be due to some OCR mistakes, but in this pdf I'm reading in reflow text mode, very often when there's page split with footnotes or chapter headings, the characters become huge and the lines get muddled
