    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    Are you using the exploit.tar.gz version of shofel? Or some old version you had lying around? Assuming you're using my pre-built one from exploit.tar.gz, it should leave behind an exploit.log - maybe check that for errors.

    Hacking fusée (à la) framboise - A portable RPi Fusée Gelée rig

    Rather than looping fusee-launcher.py, it would probably be better all round to add a udev rule that just runs fusee-launcher when the Switch's RCM USB VID/PID are detected.

    Hacking Running Fusée Gelée through a Teensy 3.6

    Yep, could be a battery. It could also be so low power that it's able to harvest what it needs from data pins in the USB C port.

    Hacking Running Fusée Gelée through a Teensy 3.6

    Even when it's in the recovery mode? My rPi powers up once Horizon is booted, but not in RCM.

    Hacking Running Fusée Gelée through a Teensy 3.6

    So I've just been looking into this and power is certainly a concern. I tried a tiny USB Type C -> A dongle I have, and power doesn't make it through from the Switch. My guess is that because the Switch has Type C, and USB Power Delivery, the Xecuter dongle is somehow able to tell the Switch...

    Hacking How easy is it to break pin 10 with a paperclip jig?

    Whatever option you go for, just be careful. Think about how easily the joycon slides into the connector. If you find yourself forcing things, you will break a pin in the Switch (I did it when I tried the ridiculous pin bending mod). The good news though is that the Switch rails are very cheap...

    Hacking [RCM] hekate-ipl for 5.0.x + working hb menu

    Soldering pins 9 and 10 on that flexible circuit, as shown in the picture, is how I did mine, but it's not really the best way to do it. The goal here is to short pin 10 to ground and while it does work on pin 9, you're really better off using a small wire and shorting pin 10 to either pin 7 or...

    Hacking Question Installing JoyCon Drivers on Ubuntu for Switch?

    Interesting, thanks. On the main subject of the joycons, gruetzkop from #f0f was helping me earlier by looking into what we need to write a userspace daemon that reads from the joycons when they're connected. It seems like there's at least a little bit of kernel work to be done, and then...

    Hacking Question Installing JoyCon Drivers on Ubuntu for Switch?

    I think there are still some issues with the Bluetooth - I'm not sure that anyone has managed to get any BT devices to work well with Linux on Switch so far.

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    Done, the package was ubuntu-web-launchers and it contains nothing but the Amazon thing. Future image releases will not contain it.

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    If someone tells me which packages the Amazon crap is in, I'll be happy to remove them in the image builder :)

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    Probably. We're all using the same kernel at least, so unless it's something being caused by userspace, there wouldn't be a difference. I don't actually use Horizon on the Switch I'm using for Linux, so I can't really speak to the battery issue.

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    Sorry, I switched to releasing on a different repo. I've updated the first post with the new link, and edited the old repo's releases page to also have a link :) Thanks for mentioning it.

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    I'm really not sure, but my guess right now is no, because the exploit is still a two-step chain. I'm going to be reducing that to a single step, at which point it may very well be possible to use the various FG launchers.

    Hacking Ubuntu 18.04 on a Switch

    Just uploaded a second release of the pre-built exploit and SD card image. 2.0 fixes screen rotation at boot, and the Linux partition will be resized to fill the SD card on first boot :)
