New Kobo App: The UltimateMangaReader - MobileRead Forums

I always wanted to have an oline mangareader for my ereader so I finally decided to make one.
Although the app is far from finished it is finally at an usable state so I present to you the UltimateMangaReader

It allowes you to read you favorite manga on your reader directly without the hassle of downloading and converting mangachapters manually, downloading images on the fly as you are reading.
Some of its current features:

  • support for multiple hosts: mangapanda.com, mangawindow.net, mangadex.org, mangatown.com, jaiminisbox.com
  • a favorite list: see all your favorite manga on one screen and see if they are updated with new chapters
  • UltimateMangaReader will keep track of your reading progress so you can just continue where you left off
  • to ensure a smooth reading experience the reader will always preload and render the next few pages while you are reading
  • frontlight control
  • no ads or simmilar BS

In the future I might add an offline mode.

How to install:

  1. Make sure you have sergeyvl12's KoboLauncher installed and running on you device, you can find it here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=201632

  2. Copy the contents of the release zip file (ultimatemangareader.sh and the folder ultimatemangareader) to the folder /.kobo/vlasovsoft on your device.

  3. Open the file /.kobo/vlasovsoft/applications.ini and add the following line at any position:
    Ultimate Manga Reader = ultimatemangareader.sh

You can find the source @ https://github.com/Rain92/UltimateMangaReader

I could only test it with my Aura One so the layouts migt be off on other devices.

Feedback or contributions are welcome

Changelog:
v0.6: add support for jaiminisbox.com
v0.7: add battery indicator icon, layout improvements and bugfixes

General troubleshooting - ArchWiki

Fixing a broken system

If you performed a partial upgrade, and the system is broken enough that you are unable to run pacman, boot using a monthly Arch ISO from a USB flash drive, an optical disc or a network with PXE. (Don't follow any of the rest of the installation guide.)

Mount your root filesystem:

[ISO] # mount /dev/rootFilesystemDevice /mnt

Mount any other partitions that you created separately, adding the prefix /mnt to all of them, i.e.:

[ISO] # mount /dev/bootDevice /mnt/boot

Try using your system's pacman:

[ISO] # arch-chroot /mnt
[chroot] # pacman -Syu

If that fails, exit the chroot, and try:

[ISO] # pacman -Syu --sysroot /mnt

If that fails, try:

[ISO] # pacman -Syu --root /mnt --cachedir /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg

grub - Manjaro won't boot after update, how to rescue? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange

I followed Mioriin's suggestion and pressed e at the GRUB prompt to edit the config. Then I found the line starting with linux and ending with splash and added a 3 to the end. Then I pressed F10 to boot.

This brought me to a textual TTY screen where I could enter my username/pass and was able to run CLI commands normally. I ran pacman -Syu, hoping that if I let it update itself successfully the problem would magically go away.

It appears that the python package dateutils was installed, and was causing pacman's update to fail. It seems that pacman tries to do big updates in a single transaction, to avoid partial update state due to interruptions, but despite this I think my system got borked by the update attempt.

I uninstalled dateutils with pip uninstall python-dateutils. Then I ran pacman -Syu again and it completed successfully. I ran pacman -Syyu just to make sure that the update was good, and it reported no out-of-date packages. I then also ran pacaur -Syu in the same fashion. After this I checked dateutils with pip list and it appears to have been installed back by the pacman update.

I rebooted and my computer, including GUI, worked as before.
