Hacking RELEASE Noob-Friendly L4T Ubuntu

[Rellik630]

Any chance that you could have touch keyboard set up by default in the next image ? I think for noob friendly that could be a good addition.

I think it should show up by default, does it only happen when your joycons are connected? If so, try disabling mouse input with L3 and then tapping a text field, should show up

I'll have to try with the latest image. I was going off of the update directly before you added moonlight etc. for reference. At least for me it wasn't setup by default .

Edit: tried pre and post pairing joycons.

I find that if you go into the settings and turn the onscreen keyboard on and off again it usually comes back up for me.

I could be wrong but I also think there's a little icon with four squares in the top bar that toggles it? I'll have to check

I believe so but sometimes those small buttons are so hard to press and/or don't register my presses.

If you don't mind, where in settings is it ? I looked all over where I thought I would find it, but I didn't see anything related to touch keyboard.

Accessibility settings > keyboard

Accessibility settings > keyboard

Ah, I didn't even think to check accessibility. Thanks.

Forgot to say this but I do not believe the 2ghz button actually gives 2ghz. I check CPU speed before clicking on it and it was roughly 1.1ghz speed. (I used: "lshw -c cpu" to check the speed). I clicked on the button and rechecked. It displayed 1.78ghz. I then manually typed in the 2ghz command and rechecked with lshw -c cpu and it displayed 2ghz. If I'm not mistaken your button is just a command to put it in performance mode but for some reason performance mode is capped at 1.78ghz. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here). Who knows, the lshw -c cpu command could be inaccurate but I find it weird how I put in the 2ghz command and it accurately read that.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out and fix it soon

How does wind waker run on it?

Mostly fullspeed. I played the game from start to finish on my Switch. You need to overclock to either 1.7 or 2ghz and set the emulated clock speed to 60% in Dolphin using the Vulkan graphics backend.

I'm trying to resize the fat32 partition but gparted wont let me to. I can only shrink it.
No problems with the ext4 partition.

 

[crow132]

when I try to apt-get upgrade, i get that the mesa drivers are kept back

is that normal? are those drivers included on l4t by default? or they are an add-on for this noobfriendly build?
thanks

Does anyone know how i would go about backing up the cores in the current retroarch build? Im still confused about how to build and compile aswell as backup(to try them with lakka also). Any knowledge of command lines for either one would be really helpful tyvm.

You'll need to move the ext4 partition to the right first so all that unallocated space is between Fat32 and ext4. Then you can resize it.

@crow132 they must be included in L4T by default not sure what that's about

@Basketto what do you mean by back up and compile the cores? Retroarch and cores are already installed. Just trying to understand what you're trying to do

Mainly trying to switch cores between Ubuntu and lakka, for testing purposes.

Hey so i'm not a fan of Unity and much prefer XFCE4 as a UI so installed it. now my touch screen is not calibrated (Only in XFCE4) is there a Fix for that or a way to re-calibrate it to anyone's Knowledge in XFCE?

Edit the touch is as if my screen was rotated 90 degrees so top left hits bottom left, top right hits top left ETC

I ran into the same problem trying to get GNOME3 to work. bylaws said that there was some touchscreen file you could delete but when I did it broke touch totally. If you do find a solution, let me know. It would be nice to try something more lightweight than Unity

If you need to get back to unity you can do it through the login screen
