L4T Ubuntu
​

Intro
L4T Ubuntu is a version of Linux based on nvidia's linux for tegra project. It uses a different kernel compared to previous releases which allows it to use features not yet in mainline. Such as audio, docking support and vulkan.

Ok guys i test this now and will tell if this will work
I really like this forum

I had luck using qJoypad with the older painless linux release, and it felt pretty comfortable. I recall having to increase the "MAXKEY" in constant.h to accommodate the super key ( I wanted the home button to act as super key ).

 

[crow132]

i installed qjoypad but doesnt show anything when launching

Please add this one

Edimax usb2.0 10/100

this one is cheap and works evrywhere
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter

Tplink usb3.0 10/100/1000
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 2357:0601

On nvidia site https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/buy/jetson-nano-devkit is 99 usd and

Video Decode 4K @ 60 | 2x 4K @ 30 | 8x 1080p @ 30 | 18x 720p @ 30 (H.264/H.265)

I think in Nvidia ubuntu image must have this videodecode lib how they will provide H.265 decode ? So we must check this

Grate work to your team i use my Nintendo all day with ubuntu and is fantastic only this small issues i want to be fixed and if you can write guide how we can compile our own kernels will be fantastic !

Okay, they provide video accel via openmax, which only works in kodi and gstreamer

You need to manually set the date and time back to what it's supposed to be. Seems internet sync doesn't do it properly.

Is there any way to get or configure mpv to use the gstreamer backend? I don't really like Kodi that much. Other than kodi, what other video players use gstreamer (if there is no way to get mpv to use it that is)?

No, you can use the built in video player.

Thanks @bylaws, I'll give it a try again today. Which manifest do you mean, the nv-tegra link you've shared is just all their git repos? Do I need all of them?

I need only a few, first the kernel really should have support for NFS Client Support (version 3 & 4).
Also list most people that have mentioned it none of my USB3 ethernet adapters work, for mine I need ax88179_178a (CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A).

https://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/...a386fc7924ed83118d69f90e;hb=rel-30-r2-partner

The hardware and kernel repos here
Then replace kernel-4.9 and Nvidia repos with ones on switchroot
Add icosa repo to hardware/Nvidia/platforms/t210/ dir.
Cd to kernel-4.9 dir.
Export CROSS_COMPILE to a gcc6 compiler prefix
Set ARCH to arm64
Make the switch defconfig (check arch/arm64/configs dir for name)
Run make -j4
Done

too many replies to read through... but has anybody installed dkA yet? It sounds kind of naughty to compile homebrew for the Switch, using a Switch...

Is anyone else getting a Error: NOFAT in hekate 4.10? I get specifically FatFS Error 13.
I copied the image using the command sudo dd if=switchroot-l4t-ubuntu-2019-04-28.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=8M status=progress

Try writing with Etcher, it hasn't failed me a single time.

FYI, Joy Cons do work while attached to the system. You just have to connect them via Bluetooth first.

This means that they aren't charging, but at least you can play Dolphin hand held.

What are you trying to do?
You need to flash to the whole device and not just the partition (Use mmcblk0 instead of mmcblk0p1).
Are you doing this on the switch or a pc?

 

[xbmcuser]

What other apps, progs people using other then Kodi, Dolphin please?

Anyone got an Android emulator working?

I know Android is imminnent on Switch

@bylaws would you know when Android Switch is coming please?

Look a few pages back for how to install Ishiiruka Dolphin. It works much better with Vulkan graphics which will give a performance boost.

I get an error when I try to use Vulkan as the tenderer. Are there any specific settings I need to change? It works fine using OpenGL, but crashes if I choose Vulkan.

 

[ZachyCatGames]

I mentioned this on RetroNX, dunno if you saw it though. Sometimes the touch screen in handheld just randomly stops working. I also noticed if the touch keyboard is open when this happens, the touch keyboard will still be useable.

I never had this happen on the “beta” version (fwiw I didn’t use the beta in handheld very much)

You have to install Ishiiruka Dolphin. Vulkan doesn't work with stock Dolphin.

you may take a look if you are interested

 

[Felipe_9595]

Can anybody link me a way to install Ishiruuka?

When USB OTG gets implemented this will be amazing

That was such a needlessly pathetic response lol But now I at least know that it was posted before.

You should get away from online boards, it's clear that you have literally no social skills.

I have social skills. The problem is people like you. You are to lazy to read. So you make useless comments & threads. People like you really should be ignored. I'm not the only person on this site that's tired of people like you.

You have to admit your reply would have been much more informative and much nicer in tone if you simply told him the answer to his question has already been posted.

Of course, Steam has no ARM builds, this is expected.
