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.

Are there any plans to add xpad for Xbox controller support? Tried both versions of official Xbox One controllers and a Hyperkin Duke, all of them are not seen as controllers.

Are you going to work on getting the cinnamon DE working?

 

[tabzer]

I have two 128gb USB flash drives, neither of which work in any of the USB ports.

They show up in LSUSB but not in LSBLK

Did you install patch 1.1 from the front page?

Did you install patch 1.1 from the front page?

That's what I started with.

 

[bylaws]

So what you're saying is if we can get into prodinfo its possible

Yes

Are they ntfs

Are you going to work on getting the cinnamon DE working?

No

That's what I started with.

You always need to apply updates, the image doesn't come with them

 

[orangpelupa]

Yeah, it's hard to read because it's stored in prodinfo which requires emmc and encryption stuff, so we just use default

so theoretically, i can change the bluetooth address using this? http://blog.petrilopia.net/linux/change-your-bluetooth-device-mac-address/

now how to find the HOS bluetooth address... maybe using bluetooth sniffer?

 

[tabzer]

That's what I started with.

You started with installing the 1.1 update after starting with the image?

The phrasing "started with" implies the beginning, but there is a step of work to do in regards of what I asked. A little ambiguity.

 

[Kargaroc]

Usually with other linux distros, you don't have to update if you installed after the patch was released, as it would be built in. That's not the case here, but it's not entirely obvious from the OP.

 

[tabzer]

Well, usually when you have updates, they're applied to the images as well, not just the patch (a new image would get made which has the patch built-in, which is how basically every linux distro works).
It's not entirely obvious in the OP.

You are taking a bit for granted here, and you should probably re-read what's going on with the image. The 1.1 patch was added, and it doesn't change anything about the Linux partition. It changes the 1st partition, which is a middleman between Hekate and L4T. So, to my original question,"Did you install patch 1.1 from the front page?", the answer is "No, I did not". Really, I could care just a little bit less about your rationalization for not following instructions.

I have been having fun on youtube because I saw Spawn Wave's video about keyboard.




longer video - watching his video

 

[lordelan]

The touch screen seems really sensitive, I can "click" on apps even if my finger is a few mm away from the screen

Didn't know you're Magneto from X-Men.
Or you just rubbed some balloons too often.

Hi there,

every time i reboot i have to pair the joycons again. Any way to get around this?
With my bluetooth mouse and keyboard i just have to press a key and they are connected again.

Using them in horizon will unpair them, won't be fixed really.

@Borbosch: What bylaws said absolutely makes sense. You can't think of them as "paired to your Switch". Instead you must think of them as "paired to an OS" (Horizon and Linux are different operating systems obviously).
It's like you paired your Joy-Cons or Pro Controller to the PC (or your friend's Switch). After that you would have to resync them to your Switch.
If you sync them to L4T, they are unsynced in your Horizon OS (although they are automatically paired there when slided in of course).
Vice versa they have to be paired to L4T again, when you used them in Horizon recently (and again: Having them in the slide rails already does pair them there).
Unless L4T implements a way to automatically pair them when they are slided in as well, you would always have to pair them there again after each time you've been in Horizon (and used them there).
I actually spent too many lines to explain this lol but I wanted to make sure the mechanics behind this are clear.

You can pair with bt and then slide in

Really? Didn't know that. So (at least in L4T) sliding them in really does nothing (and nothing includes unpairing/pairing them) so they just need to be taken off the Switch for the pairing process and then I can put them back into the slide rails? That's cool.

Hi

How much time i have to wait on location setup? Its there for 20 minutes.

Thanks

Edit: repeated tutorial agrim and now works

 

[Imancol]

So a wii emulator on horizon is most probable!

What about a PS2 Emulator?

Here are pic I took of my switch with browser open to gbatemp front page.

Gbatemp thanks you for letting use your Nintendo Switch to mine cryptocurrencies.

I even saw xbox emulator on it. Actually good performance (considering what it is)

Yes! I just saw it, it's amazing! I will never understand how the Nintendo Switch has better performance than a Smartphone of Eight Nuclei. I think I could even use my Nintendo Switch to design video games in Unity.

*Whispers*
Tbh, it's not that powerful.
But definitely amazing.

 

[Imancol]

I have a question. Can I use this OS as a guest ?, without installing anything ?, I would like to know if I could use it in a 4GB MicroSd. And if I can connect an external hard disk for the installation, bearing in mind that the MicroSD would be the bootable.
