hi sorry for such a newbie question, but how can I install a non-terminal based text editor in Alpine without it breaking the installation? I tried to install gedit etc from the Alpine terminal but installation failed and broke Alpine from launching.

After jailbreaking is now possible, I was able to test Alpine Linux on my KOA2. Runs better than expected. Thank you.

Reading web pages with Kindle is again a worthy experience, it's a prodigy, thank you very much. However, this does not exempt Amazon from restoring the functionality of the stock browser, and not just "experimentally"...

And is it possible to install Alpine Linux without a system from Amazon? Just Alpine itself on all available flash memory.

The last one can be handled with fbink-xdamage but the responsiveness using that is much poorer than on a stock firmware using Amazon's library (LIGL?). Honestly, if there was a better way of handling screen refreshes I'd have done a proper Alpine port by now. |

I know I'm a bit late to the party but just set this up on my PW3 and it works like a charm.
However, I wonder whether it's possible to access the lipc helper utilities from the Kindle when inside the Alpine bash. I.e. I'd like to control the brightness and some other things using the lipc tools. Mounting the bin directory to the Alpine partition of course didn't work right away. I'm currently thinking about SSH'ing from the Alpine system to the Kindle system but I think there has to be a more clever way. I also came across some lipc reverse engineering stuff which could be recompiled for Alpine but even then I'm not sure if this is supposed to work. Thanks for any hints in advance! |

It works out of the box on PW5.
Is there a shell command or an app to adjust brightness/warmness? |
