Reinstall, then check the syslog after starting KOReader.

No, sure. I launched Koreader after 2 or 3 minutes or more.
Now I try your suggestion

This is syslog (first lines). Libnm.so has not disappeared.

Spoiler:

Now Clara HD is on. I launch koreader, I'll read, and Clara HD will be turn off over 3:00 am. Tomorow we will see if libnm.so exits.

What are the menu_items for NickelMenu to add gong to my books and the main menu from the hamburger menu in both RMSDK and KePub?

What exactly is "gong", and how would I add it to a book?

An update: Unfortunately, this won't be in the next version, as it's a lot more complex than I originally thought. See #3 for the details.

If I start the eBook from the home menu and then want ot go to My Books from the book, I can't. I'd like to go to the Home menu and then My Books.

Ok, sorry. This is the complete syslog:

syslog.log.txt

OK, that sounds reasonable. I'll probably add some actions which take advantage of the *NavMixin functions to open arbitrary views.

NickelMenu v0.0.2

This release contains minor features and bugfixes.

There are new `power:shutdown` and `power:reboot` actions to gracefully exit Nickel on firmware 4.13.12638+.
The `cmd_spawn` action now supports a `quiet:` option to prevent the PID from being displayed after the command has been launched.
The failsafe timeout has been halved again to 5 seconds.
A bug where the default menu item wouldn't do anything has been fixed.
The `nickel_setting` action now supports firmware versions 4.12.12111 and older.
There are various improvements to the documentation.
Internally, NickelMenu has switched to the new toolchain builds, and now has automatic checking for symbol compatibility between firmware versions.

See the release on GitHub for more details.

@Carmelocotonto:

That's the bit you're looking for:

Code:

May  7 20:18:15 nickel: (NickelMenu) failsafe: renaming /usr/local/Kobo/imageformats/libnm.so.failsafe to /usr/local/Kobo/imageformats/libnm.so (src/failsafe.c:51)

Which means you're good to go

.

(And it'll now (>= 0.0.2) happen well before any user interaction is possible, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore).

geek1011 · 05-08-2020, 12:33 AM

I've added some examples which people may find useful:

Code:

menu_item :main   :IP Address      :cmd_output     :500:/sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/awk '/inet addr/{print substr($2,6)}'
menu_item :main   :Telnet          :cmd_spawn      :quiet:/bin/mount -t devpts | /bin/grep -q /dev/pts || { /bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts && /bin/mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts; }
  chain                            :cmd_spawn      :quiet:/usr/bin/pkill -f "^/usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023" || true && exec /usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023 /usr/sbin/telnetd -i -l /bin/login
  chain                            :dbg_toast      :Started Telnet server on port 1023.
menu_item :main   :FTP             :cmd_spawn      :quiet:/usr/bin/pkill -f "^/usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1021" || true && exec /usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1021 /usr/sbin/ftpd -w -t 30 /mnt/onboard
  chain                            :dbg_toast      :Started FTP server for KOBOeReader partition on port 1021.
menu_item :main   :Import Books    :nickel_misc    :rescan_books_full

These are more flexible than devmode, but doesn't conflict with it and still doesn't require any additional software.

Well, thanks. This morning I turned on Clara HD and all was alright. So It is clear that yesterday I did something wrong, I think.

Now I will try your new version.

I read your comments (#3), and that looked like a lot of work. Thank you for considering it.

Hi, geek1011,
I have tried v0.0.2 and all is right. All my things, you understand. 8-)
Thanks
