I do believe that you ought to write on this topic, may well certainly be a taboo subject but usually individuals are not enough to communicate on such topics. To a higher.

It gives me the errors: <br /><br />/etc/rc5.d/S62kite: No such file or directory<br /><br />and<br /><br />/etc/rc3.d/K07kite: No such file or directory<br /><br />Does that mean I have to load kite some other way? Or will Kite just not work for my Kindle 4? Is there some other way to run shell scripts on a jailbroken kindle?<br /><br />Thanks a lot,<br />AlexADShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00860058255151741355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-36814909655202968382015-10-27T19:45:18.127-04:002015-10-27T19:45:18.127-04:00It's possible to do a Kindle weather display w...It's possible to do a Kindle weather display without USB networking, ssh, or Linux commands.

I tried installing unrar-free but it apparently does not handle your .rar because it has multiple files within. Is there some reason to use .rar vs. something more common like .zip or .gz?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-29098825244991993812013-09-07T08:29:29.965-04:002013-09-07T08:29:29.965-04:00Fabian - I do not believe there is a way to get th...Fabian - I do not believe there is a way to get this to work strictly on the Kindle. So far as I know, the Kindle doesn't have the ability to run the necessary software to convert an SVG, create output, etc. <br /><br />Even if you removed the images and went strictly text, the Kindle wouldn't be able to run the necessary python script.<br /><br />You might have better luck with the Kobo. I *think* you can actually load Python directly on it, so you might have more success with that.<br /><br />http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194376shatteredhavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617868311537461360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-74372740380257455702013-09-06T01:51:51.336-04:002013-09-06T01:51:51.336-04:00Wow, this project looks great...

Liking the update time field, we think the same way!<br /><br />One thing i found on Debian, might be useful for others - is that pngcrush is a bit funny with the bit depth. <br /><br />I tried "pngcrush -bit_depth 8..." but it stretched the image. The solution was to do it in the svg conversion step with "convert -depth 8..." <br /><br />OwenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877487889549693583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-72069075442497267362013-07-23T16:25:19.870-04:002013-07-23T16:25:19.870-04:00FYI librsvg2-bin is available in the debian reposi...FYI librsvg2-bin is available in the debian repositories for rsvg.Whizbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516635450810600585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-9419445931311026972013-06-01T04:59:57.599-04:002013-06-01T04:59:57.599-04:00Many thanks I'll give that a try.Many thanks I'll give that a try.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403197109856707761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668575120967087883.post-9695523294181763492013-05-30T10:14:50.653-04:002013-05-30T10:14:50.653-04:00Unfortunately, the python sript is looking at NOAA...Unfortunately, the python sript is looking at NOAA, which is just for North America. <br /><br />I believe you could swap the xml link for one from Wunderground, which should cover the UK for weather updates.<br /><br />If you do that, you'd have to change some additional values in python file.
