Not installing on Kobo Libra H2O #14

Closed hunmik closed 3 years ago

hunmik commented 4 years ago

After putting the tgz into .kobo, I reboot, then dots are moving, so some installation is starting. However after startup, tgz disappeared and no kobocloud folder installed. (No new file at all.) This model is relatively new, probably something has been changed. Many thanks for your efforts!

I succesfully installed it in kobo libra. You find de config file in .add folder now. But I still can't download files from drive; I finally succeded from dropbox

The .tgz looks like this. Contents are correct?

c:\Users\m\Documents\GitHub\KoboCloud>tar -cvzf KoboRoot.tgz -C src etc usr a etc a etc/udev a etc/udev/rules.d a etc/udev/rules.d/97-kobocloud.rules a usr a usr/local a usr/local/kobocloud a usr/local/kobocloud/ca-bundle.crt a usr/local/kobocloud/config.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/config_kobo.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/config_pc.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/curl a usr/local/kobocloud/get.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getDropboxFiles.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getGDriveFiles.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getOwncloudFiles.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getOwncloudList.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getpCloudFiles.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/getRemoteFile.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/udev_mount.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/udev_program.sh a usr/local/kobocloud/uninstall.sh

I have the same problem, and I don't even have a .add folder. Am I doing something wrong?

It took me a while because I never used github before and I connected to gitpod in order to run the sh ./makeKoboRoot.sh command without having to install or download anything besides the KoboRoot.tgz file but in the end (after 2 tries) it did finally work for me on my Libra H2O. So it's worth the extra effort to get Dropbox access without paying for the Kobo Forma.

If you're not seeing the .add folder, I suspect you most likely are not set to show hidden files and folders so you want to be sure of that first and then reconnect your Kobo to look for the .add folder. See this for help on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files#:~:text=Select%20the%20Start%20button%2C%20then,drives%2C%20and%20then%20select%20OK.

The first time I did it, I added links for both Google Drive and Dropbox and neither worked in the end. I saw some comments that Google Drive wasn't working for others so when uninstalled and redid all the steps, I set it for Dropbox only. That's not necessarily the reason it worked though. I was using gitpod and maybe there's something I'm missing but it would not let me paste the link even though there is a paste option. I had to manually type the link. I double-checked it and think I entered it correctly but there's always a chance I did not.

One thing I noticed between the failed and successful attempts, is that when you add the link for the second time in the Kobo under .add/kobocloud/kobocloudrc (per the Configuration section of the instructions) it was already there on the successful attempt.

Hope that helps someone who's having trouble.

After some search and trials, I managed to make it work. It appears that the compilation I did on my windows computer was the issue. I downloaded one of the pre-built packages from the Releases and it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot! This plugin is really helpful
