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.

Apologies if this has been asked before. but does anyone with developer experience or more of an insight than I have :P, have a rough estimate on how far away sleep mode support is for either this or L4T Lakka ;), Im not expecting an exact date of course, I was just curious if it was a question of a couple of weeks/months/years etc. This is an absolute work of art! However sleep mode for me I suppose is whats been holding me back. Appreciation to those who have put in time and effort to port this masterpiece cant be expressed enough! If anyone has any information, thanks greatly in advance!

would it somehow work to rezize the first partition (fat32) so I can use all the switch homebrew stuff with the same sd card?

Yup, that's how anybody who's dualbooting is doing it. Backup the switch stuff, flash the image, install the updates to the Fat32, then move and resize the ext4 partition and resize the Fat32 partition. Do this on a different PC

So I got my USB speakers working, oddly they have static sound when docked but not when undocked. Any ideas on how I could go about fixing this?

Thanks, I'll add it as supported by procon driver
Everything has slowed down since the last update.
I slowed to fix SDS but didn't work, next will have two versions. One slow with more support, one not

that's what I tried but somehow I can only resize the ext4 partition the fat32 partition wouldn't resize. I tried it on ubuntu (on my Pc) and with a partition manager on win10. Any advices?

edit: I was using the resize feature but I had to use the extend feature, works now.

hi Guys
I've been using Ubuntu Switch for a while now and I've noticed something.

My switch often hangs on the charging cable.
Even with Ubuntu it hangs on the charging cable.

My switch (see picture) has apparently deformed.

Is it due to the battery?
Is charging the battery currently not mature in Ubuntu?


Hope you can help me.
greeting

Mine has been slightly deformed like that for over a year, dunno why exactly, but it’s probably nothing to worry about.

What do you mean by “hangs on the charging cable”?

Wind Waker high 20s to 30 fps. Metroid Prime 30s-50s fps
Nice to hear! Thank you ^^ Seems like Metroid runs suprisingly well. For wind waker there is still some room to grow, but I think with further adjustment it will be at a well playable state in maybe a few months or a year ^^

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Melee - consistent 60 fps
Twilight - consistent 30 fps (it is capped at 30)
Double dash - consistent 60 fps.

I'm trying tons of games tonight, got any requests?
Mario Sunshine but I think this is a no brainer ^^

what settings? I certainly wasn’t getting a consistent 60fps in double dash :/ (and I haven’t tested those other games myself yet)

Twilight Princess at consistent full speed sounds awesome. I'll be moving on to that after I finish Wind Waker.

I'm like 15 hours into Wind Waker, and have been playing at 1.7ghz. It's definitely playable, albeit less than full speed pretty often. Even if 2ghz gives a handful of extra frames, it'll be a very nice improvement.
