remarkable_entware's Introduction

reMarkable Entware

This is a modified installer for Entware, a lightweight package manager and software repo for embedded devices.

If you'd like to install reMarkable specific packages, you should install Toltec instead, which includes the Entware repositories. WARNING: you may softbrick your device when installing Toltec if Toltec does not support your current version.

See a list of available packages here and here.

Installation

Connect the reMarkable via USB and make sure it has internet access.

Connect to the reMarkable with SSH and execute

wget -O - http://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evidlo/remarkable_entware/master/install.sh | sh

All entware data is located in /opt (which actually points to /home/root/.entware because of size constraints on the root partition). Base installation is ~13MB.

Examples

opkg install git
opkg find '*top*'    # search package names and descriptions

After a reMarkable update

reMarkable updates wipe out everything outside of /home/root. While Entware remains intact in /home/root/.entware, the mount over /opt has to be recreated with entware_reenable.sh.

wget -O - http://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evidlo/remarkable_entware/master/reenable.sh | sh

No space left on device

You can clean up logfiles which take up considerable space on the root partition.

journalctl --vacuum-size=2M

remarkable_entware's Issues

bug when installing cron

"opkg install" is installing only crontab, and corn (daemon) is not installed.
crontab without cron.d will not work

in comparison, toltec is installing both corn and crontab

git: 'remote-https' is not a git command.

git fetch results in
git: 'remote-https' is not a git command.

How are you supposed to get around that?

Add binaries to PATH when using ssh

It seems I can't change the PATH variable for ssh commands without login.
I added the line PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH to the ~/.bashrc and when logged in this is displayed:

reMarkable: ~/ echo $PATH
/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

But when running the command without login this is displayed:

$ ssh root@$rssh_ip 'echo $PATH'
/usr/bin:/bin

I tried

changing the line in the ~/.bashrc to export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH
sourcing ~/.bashrc in ~/.bash_profile
sourcing ~/.bashrc in /etc/bash.bashrc

Can someone help?

Question: Is the reMarkable 2 supported ?

Hello, this is just a naive question: is the reMarkable 2 supported by this installer ?

Wget is not compiled with HTTPS; a manual install of entware's wget-ssl does not resolve

This is an issue I am running into following the README. I have successfully installed opkg and am hitting the entware server over http successfully.

# installing wget-ssl manually over http works
 wget http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-3.2.ipk
# arrives on drive

# installs and assures that everything is current
opkg install wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-3.2.ipk

Yet nothing will download over https. This means that tasks like opkg update fail:

reMarkable: ~/ opkg update
Downloading https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz

Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.

When manually fetching files over https with wget, the error has more information:

reMarkable: ~/ wget  https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz
https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.gz: HTTPS support not compiled in.

However both wget-nossl and wget-ssl are installed and at the most current available version.

I'll post what I figure out here.

Installer script doesn't have enough space to create /opt

Hey

I'm attempting to install Entware on my reMarkable, running Version 1.8.1.1 and the installer complaints that /opt cannot be created due to insufficient space available.

remarkable: ~/ sh entware_install.sh 
Info: Checking for prerequisites and creating folders...
mkdir: can't create directory '/opt': No space left on device
Encountered error.  Cleaning up and quitting...

It seems that with the new update, 100% of the root partition is used:

remarkable: ~/ df -m /
Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                  214       210         0 100% /

cd /home before cp opt.mount

The install script contains cd /opt/lib
[...]
cp opt.mount /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable opt.mount

cp command fails, please add cd /home before the cp line.

Does this package manager work on remarkable 3.x?

Terminal session does not seem to find the app:

reMarkable: ~/ opkg
-sh: opkg: command not found

I also tried to restart it, same result.

Add License

What is this licensed under? I just see a copyright in the code.

Installation error

Is this error related to the network? Should I download on my laptop and transfer files by myself?

Instructions to uninstall entware/opkg

Would be really nice to include a script or the required commands to uninstall this package manager :-)

No packages found

There's nothing when I try to search packages:

remarkable: ~/ opkg search '*shadow*'
remarkable: ~/ opkg search '*top*'

Here's the information of opkg:

remarkable: ~/ opkg -v
opkg version 0.1.8
remarkable: ~/ which opkg
/opt/bin/opkg

Instructions to reset after a failed install?

My first attempt to run the installer glitched for some reason, on my RM3 running 3.9.something. Attempting to re-run it, I'b being told Error: Folder /opt exists! Quitting...

If I attempt to rm -rf /opt, I'm told rm: can't remove '/opt': Device or resource busy

Rebooting the ReMarkable does not solve this; I'm still told /opt is busy.

ls -al /opt shows it as empty.

How can I reset in order to run a fresh install attempt?

(For context: What I'm trying to do is fill in some of the things that codexctl apparently has as prerequisites, so I can use it to roll back far enough to install toltec...

Can't we get away the manual post-update-hook by changing the install dir?

Why is everything installed under /opt and not locally in /home/root?

wget: read error: Connection reset by peer

I have tried running the install script, and got the following output:

I'm somewhat confused that it seems to fail midway through. I have tried rerunning the command, it seems to always fail when downloading libgcc_s.so.1 in particular.

/home/root/.entware is missing

as far as I understand, the install script should create this directory.

opkg fails to install any reMarkable-specific packages

I've tried installing entware on 2.1.1.3 (after bricking and recovering) and also on 2.9.1.236. I note during the middle of installation I get:
