L4T Ubuntu - A fully featured linux on your switch

WildDerp · Apr 28, 2019

So for example I can use this linux to run wine and run windows games like Tibia? This going to work or i have to do it some other way?

hi all, why do I get this error when I go to resize the second partition?

Isn't it possible to share someone's SD card setup?

i flashed the image to a 16gb micro sd with etcher and booted into hekate 4.9.1, press launch, and it says something about missing a hekate .ini file

EDIT: grabbed it from the kosmos pack

absolute game changer, some guys in Kyoto Japan are going to be mighty miffed right now!

I doubt they are upset, they make money on every nintendo switch sale.

They are more likely amused that people are using their switches as a low performance linux pc, instead of pirating switch games. They may even be miffed they ipatched switches last june, because they could be making a ton of money out of linux nerds right now.

It's a lot of work and they are to be congratulated for putting the effort in, but yet another games console getting a linux port is hardly a game changer.

hey @bylaws

im about to reformat my 200gb sd card to support dual boot, in case i wanna update this version of ubuntu you just shared, can i do it from ubuntu itself or is a must to rewrite the sd card again for each update?

@bylaws Hi, just wanted to report that there is a bug once you use the touch screen, dock it, then try to use it again, the touch screen will stop working for some reason. Once it is docked again, the whole desktop stops responding and I would have to hard reset my switch. Also, after hard resetting after the third time, I was unable to boot back into Linux so I'm currently formatting my sd card again :/

I had the issue where the first time I tried loading L4T it stuck on a black screen for longer than 5 minutes. Did nothing else but connect my phone with Rekado to inject the payload again brought up Hekate (no jig required 2nd time), and I loaded L4T again. Few minutes with a black screen went by, but then the dialog for accepting terms popped up, and I continued on from there.

Yeah... can't really do much cause the only dongle I have is the SX PRO which needs the boot.dat from the sd card to boot up the payload. :/

Was you playing dolphin with stock speed?

No mine was at 1.7ghz using the command from the OP.

Put the boot.dat and Hekate payload file on the root of your SD and chainload Hekate from the SX Boot Menu.

That's exactly what I did... The issues is whenever I use the touch screen and then dock then undock, the touch screen becomes unresponsive. Once you dock it again, the entire desktop becomes unresponsive so after hard resetting it after 3 times, L4T was unable to boot again so I had to format my sd card...

Did you not read the issue I just put out?

Hmm can't help you there. I have a keyboard and mouse connected to mine so I don't really undock and use the touchscreen too often.
