kobo Libra keeps dropping telnet

shoelesshunter · 07-27-2020, 12:37 AM

I have recently learned how to ssh into my Kobo Libra.

I use Nickel Menu to launch the service and find my IP.

However after 30 seconds of access, the connection is dropped. I try to restart it from Nickel Menu but the IP does not show.

Rebooting the Kobo is the only way to gain another 30 seconds of access.

Any suggestions?

I assume you're accessing it over Wi-Fi?

In which case, that's just Nickel aggressively dropping Wi-Fi to conserve battery.

There's a hidden dev setting (that can be toggled via NM) to keep WI-Fi on *forever* (and I mean that: the device won't suspend, and will eat through a battery in no time if unplugged).

Otherwise, my usual quick hack is to keep the Wi-Fi popup open: that'll prevent Nickel from dropping the connection.

----

The better solution to that conundrum is, of course, SSH over USB via USBNet
