Kobo not providing a listen address

[abarichello]

When I launch inkvt on my local system it successfully provides an address for me to connect and send keyboard input, however when launching from my Kobo Glo HD this section is missing and I can't connect to http://mykoboip:7800 This is a screenshot from my local system, Kobo prints everything except the 'listening on' section

This is disabled by default on Kobo (--no-http), because the other methods proved to be much easier to deal with and much more reliable.

Do you have a guide on how to enable SSH? The ones I found involve connecting to kobo using telnet but the default user/password pair isn't working for me.

Thanks!

btw you forgot to comment this line with a hardcoded path: https://github.com/llandsmeer/inkvt/blob/8d1355b431ba9d7b9ce61afd73b3ad1260db29d7/Makefile#L3

That's a fallback assignment (?=), and that variable is set in the env by my TC scripts, so, never actually used if you use a recommended TC ;).

[abarichello]

It gave me an error when building and I had to comment that out. Not sure why

[NiLuJe]

Because you don't have CROSS_TC set in your env ;).

Which either means you're using a random TC (which I don't recommend), or you're using mine but not setup properly.

[abarichello]

Ah I see, I used koxtoolchain: https://github.com/koreader/koxtoolchain

Then pay attention to the final comment printed on screen after a successful TC build ;).

[abarichello]

Yeah, that last step gave me some errors when downloading/installing 'nettle-git', still trying to fix that.

Err, no, the env setup should definitely not build anything ^^.

e.g.,
