Kobo libra crash and reboot after launch on kfmon

[Onion2222]

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your amazing tool.
I have an issue when I try to start inkvt from kfmon it totally reboot my ereader.
Sometimes it writes "enabling wifi" when I run it just after the boot. The other times it doesn't have the time to write it.

This are the logs from KFMon:Spawned process 9861 (/mnt/onboard/inkvt.png -> /mnt/onboard/.adds/inkvt/inkvt.sh @ watch idx 3) ... Reaped process 9861 (from watch idx 3): It exited with status 1. [PID: 9931] KFMon is already running (PID: 191)!
And then my kobo libra H2O reboot.

I was trying to search the crash.log of your program but unfortunately my ereader had to be hard reset.

sorry for my poor english, I'm french

Hi, thanks for creating an issue. I'm afraid I can't do that much with those messages alone. Sorry to hear your e-reader had to hard reset, that should never happen.

• Do you known which firmware version you have (7?)
• Did you have other mods installed that might have interfered?
• As I understand it, you just clicked the icon in Nickel and then it crashed?

Hello,
Sorry for my late answer:

• About the firmware, I have mark 7. It recently updated to 4.24.15676, I had the version just before when I had the problem
• No
• When I clicked on the icon in Nickel, sometimes it wrote an error message and then it always rebooted. However, when it rebooted I had some troubles using the touchscreen and the display.

That's why I had to hard reset my e-reader and loose all the crash reports (unfortunatly I didn't try to get them using telnet...)

As you said, I don't have enough information to help you track this issue and I don't think I will try to modify my kobo again. Even if it perfectly works now after the hard-reset. Maybe it could have been worse idk.
I think that the problem come from the installation kfmon I certainly did something wrong during it or maybe I modified something I shouldn't in the linux embedded system.

Sorry to not be able to help you more

As of right now, you shouldn't expect the KFMon script to run properly on current FW versions (c.f., #12).

I'm not quite sure how bad it behaved without the fixes, but at worst a hard-reboot would have fixed it. There's a near-zero chance for anything to have any lasting impact on either Nickel itself or the actual hardware.
