Fw 2.8.1 problem

[davimount]

Doesn't work with firmware 2.8.1 as well.
I'm a programmer (not expert, but I manage) and I know bash.
Maybe I can help?

Any help is appreciated :)

I think that there might be something wrong with my build environment. It would be nice if someone else could build kobo-grive and then test it.

You could try setting up build environment from https://github.com/kobolabs/Kobo-Reader. Here's good instructions: http://robmyers.org/2013/06/17/building-the-kobo-reader-sources/

After you have compiled Kobo-Reader, you can compile kobo-grive from https://github.com/softapalvelin/kobo-grive.

Ook! After my exams I'll try, just one more week.

Looks like Kobo has changed to more recent openSSL and zlib
kobolabs/Kobo-Reader@1a8d36e

I think thats causing the problem.

Weird thing is that if I execute “openssl version” in Kobo command line then I get:
openssl: symbol lookup error: openssl: undefined symbol: i2d_ASN1_HEADER

Diff between 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 shows that i2d_ASN1_HEADER is removed from 1.0.0:
http://upstream-tracker.org/diffs/openssl/0.9.8y_to_1.0.0/diff.html

So, it looks like openssl command is trying to use 0.9.8 library, but library is actually 1.0.0.

Hello.
I tried to install but also I also had some problem.
First lines of last-grive-sync.txt are:

/usr/local/grive-sync/install_app.sh: line 8: can't create /etc/init.d/rcS: Read-only file system
/usr/local/grive-sync/install_app.sh: line 16: can't create /usr/local/Kobo/udev/usb: Read-only file system

while last lines are

/usr/local/grive-sync/sync.sh: Synchronization error. Creating README.txt

I also tried to create auth.txt with my auth code but it didn't work.

Hope this can help in solving issue.

Thanks.

I forked the project and created a one-way sync script that mirrors a web-server instead of grive. Maybe it is of some use to you guys if you need syncing and want the latest firmware.
