To summarize: this issue has many reports of different nature (most of which were resolved some time ago); the current status is that version 3.6.0.1865 of the firmware stores the wrong version number in /etc/version on the tablet.
This makes rmview think it's dealing with an old version without screenshare and tries to use a custom vnc server (which is known not to work with recent updates).
The easiest workaround is to run

ssh RMIPADDRESS 'echo 20230824123456 > /etc/version'

to overwrite on the tablet the version number with something sensible.
A sensible solution would be to add a screenshare+auth backend option which forces the combination of connection methods that works for this version (overriding the version detection)

from rmview.

EDIT: FIXED
The problem was that the content of /etc/version on the remarkable was:
20180309123456
I guess the firmware update set it to that for some reason. I can't think of any other explanation. In any case, screenshare.py chooses to use the vnc client instead of ScreenShare based on that data.
I modified /etc/version to instead have:
20230824123456
and it worked!

---------------------------/EDIT
I updated to 3.6.0.1865 and rmview stopped working. Here are the logs:

If I stop Screen Share on the remarkable I get these logs:

[WARNING] Disconnected: Connection was closed cleanly.

So, I think it is connected. And it is successfully ssh'ing to the device, using the key and adding the key to the known_hosts.

I think these are the interesting lines:

to overwrite on the tablet the version number with something sensible.

Thanks a lot! I also confirm, that this worked for me (Firmware Version: 3.6.1.1894).

marozols avatar marozols commented on August 29, 2024 2

Thanks, @bordaigorl! I managed to fix it in the meantime. The buffer variable in line 181 of rfb.py turns out to have value b'reM 001.001\n', so the version_server variable later doesn't get initialized. I simply commented out the line 203 in rfb.py

       self._version_server = version_server

and now everything works!

I've just got my remarkable with 3.6 firmware and have the connection problem. Part of it was fixed by the mentioned update of /etc/version file, however now I have some UDP errors that I couldn't find in previous issues:

The config mentioned there seems to be /etc/remarkable.conf, indeed, I don't see any devicetoken value there...

Is there documentation anywhere on the versioning scheme? Seems to be major.minor.patch.build an all integers, but it'd be nice to know for sure.

It's not documented anywhere that I'm aware of, but from the list of version numbers I have, that does appear to be the version scheme. build appears to have been reset in every minor version, but hasn't been reset since 2.7.0.9.

Side note, for anybody interested in the source on the reproducible builds comment I made previously: https://discord.com/channels/385916768696139794/834359134870568982/1149409895486083123

@meelash thank you so much for your report!
I am still on version 2 of firmware (to preserve my current workflow) so I could not directly debug this one.
The version being wrong is a weird one to find!
I'll see if I can cook up a quick patch to solve this.
Many thanks!

drever avatar drever commented on August 29, 2024 1

Edit: The issue was actually solved by the version reset. The problem left was the UPD Port.

I was hoping that the issue is resolved by changing /etc/version on the remarkable, but no luck for me. Am I missing something?

@rsoeldner yes ChallengeReaderProtocol is the authentication protocol which is known to work since 2.9.1.
The key is to bypass the version check at line 137 in screenshare.py.
When that protocol hangs it is usually a sign that the UDP port at 5901 is blocked (maybe by firewalls/OS) and opening it typically solves the problem (see the wiki).
@rsoeldner do you know for a fact that, in the same network/os environment you were able to connect before upgrading to v3?

kjyager avatar kjyager commented on August 29, 2024 1

I fixed this issue for myself by getting the the software version from xochitl --version rather than /etc/version. The command outputs version information like: xochitl 2023-09-01T12:43:28Z tags/releases/3.6.1-device-RC2 ab7d676. I grab the iso timestamp, and reformat it to match the timestamp format used by /etc/version. Not sure if this is any safer to rely on than /etc/version, but it is working well at the moment. Happy to contribute this back to the repo if you'd like.

Replacement for _getSwVersion() in connection.py:

# Add `from datetime import datetime` to top of file

def _getSwVersion(self):
    _, out, _ = self.client.exec_command("cat /etc/version")
    version_ts = int(out.read().decode("utf-8"))

    try:
      _, out, _ = self.client.exec_command('xochitl --version 2>/dev/null | tail -n 1 | cut -d" " -f2')
      xochitl_ts = int(datetime.fromisoformat(out.read().decode("utf-8").strip()).strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S"))
      version_ts = max(version_ts, xochitl_ts)
    except:
      pass

    return version_ts

I found out that the remarkable fingerprint changed, so I had to accept it again via ssh.

Still not working, so I launched it with debug and I noticed something interesting

@marozols your issue was fixed in 7fbcc7c make sure you are running on the latest commit. I'll add a release to point to the latest version.

As for compatibility with v3: I have not updated yet so I cannot test rmview on the new version. PRs are welcome if anybody finds tweaks that make it work well with it.

Just reporting that I installed rmview from scratch on Fedora 38 with Python 3.11.4 and have Remarkable 1 with version 3.5.2.1807 and rmview is working fine. Works with both password and ssh keys.

I start the "Present with Screen Share" on Remarkable first and then run rmview and it connects and works great.

[I'm having an issue where sometimes it stops connecting and it will timeout when trying to connect. After some time it works again. But I think this may be something with my test computer/network (which has some issues) because when this happens, I'm also unable to ssh and ping the remarkable independent of rmview]

But it will not pass the authentication. Maybe @bordaigorl can confirm, using the ChallengeReaderProtocol is the correct one?

@bordaigorl Unfortunately, this does not work for me ... The mentioned change should be implemented in my fork. Any ideas how to debug thus further?

I was hoping that the issue is resolved by changing /etc/version on the remarkable, but no luck for me. Am I missing something?

I just did it today with my RM2 with firmware 3.6, and I can confirm it does work, no issues connecting.

thank you for the version-overwriting workaround! confirm that it works for me.

Thanks @assaron for the report, it would definitely be better for rmview to detect whether you still need to register and give a more informative error...

The easiest workaround is to run

ssh RMIPADDRESS 'echo 20230824123456 > /etc/version'

to overwrite on the tablet the version number with something sensible.

Thanks a lot! I also confirm, that this worked for me (Firmware Version: 3.6.1.1894).

This worked for me as well!

Hello everyone, I had the same problem and changed the IP from the default (10.11.99.1) to the one written in the Help/Copyrights and licenses (e.g. 192.168.2.120) when I was logging into rmview.

Hope that it helps.

Yeah, this worked for me as well. I just sshed into the remarkable machine and then ran the echo command. This resolved the libcrypto issue.

Eeems avatar Eeems commented on August 29, 2024

reMarkable has started to use reproducable builds for their OS releases, so /etc/version will no longer be unique per-version. At least that's what was indicated in discord by one of their staff. So going forward, a new mechanism will be required for determining the OS version.

Hi, I am just starting to try using rmview, and I was getting the libcrypto error, which went away when I changed the /etc/version as told above. But, my rmview screen is now stuck as described in this comment with the console log stuck at "Authenticating, please wait". Did I miss something? I am using remarkable 2 with version 3.7. I have also opened my ports 5900 and 5901 as mentioned on wiki.

It might be better to standardize on the OS version number you can find with grep REMARKABLE_RELEASE_VERSION= /usr/share/remarkable/update.conf

This does seem like a more reliable source. I updated my fix to use this instead. I'm now representing versions with tuples instead of timestamp integers, and reversingrmparams.SW_VER_TIMESTAMPS to interpret the old TS values. Is there documentation anywhere on the versioning scheme? Seems to be major.minor.patch.build an all integers, but it'd be nice to know for sure.

@kjyager thank you so much for contributing the PR!
I'll have a look and test it; if everything looks in order I'll merge

Hey all, I am also having this issue on the latest Firmware version (3.10) (Can even see the red dot, but it is stuck at [Authenticating]. The file in /etc/version is up to date, too.

How can I get this to work?

I suspect this is an unrelated issue. I just updated my device to 3.10, and rmview is still working for me. It is probably worth making sure the rmview version is recent, and that you're not encountering another common issue.
