Kindle paperwhite2 Root Password modification method

yesterday, because the Kindle's power consumption suddenly increased, began to look for reasons. After checking the search, it was determined that the problem was caused by the card index and began to solve the problem. However, when you log in as root via SSH to the Kindle, there is always a login error, the password is not correct, so you want to change the root password method.

Method: Turn off the Kindle's indexing function.

(Note: This index search function is not the search for the book Directory of the Home page search, but after entering a book, search all the contents of the book or all the contents of the Kindle, almost without the index function).

The prerequisites for modifying the root password in this method are:

1. The Kindle has escaped, (the method can be easily searched online)
2. Install plug-in Kterm plug-ins, which resemble the shell of a Linux system (many of the installation methods are online)

Then, you can open Kterm and execute the following command:

Mntroot RW//IS mounted in RW mode so that the file can be modified

passwd

Mntroot RO//Resume Read Only

The process is as follows:

At this point, the root password has been modified.

In the future, SSH can be used to login to the Kindle to modify the/etc/upstart/framework, will be DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=true中 true changed tofalse即可关闭索引。

After testing, closing the index does not affect the use of dictionaries such as Mobi to look up words.
