Hacking RELEASE Painless Linux - it's Linux, but painless (Windows, Mac OS, Linux & Android)

you guys saved my ass thanks alot

You'll have to install python 2, pip for python 2 and the pyparted module. Create a /.rootfs-repartition file and run the script. If it doesn't work, install the script and systemd service and reboot.

First time to the forum and excited to see what the future holds for this device. But anyway i have been booting linux multiple times with different results with 3 different sd cards 16,32 and 64gb.

• 16gb would let me boot into the linux gui as such but then just freeze and do nothing.
• 32gb would load the penguin splash screen and then just go black.
• 64gb had the same result as the 32gb.

Im not entirely sure what i am doing wrong but could it be that the sd cards are not imaging properly or am i doing something wrong. I am preparing the sd card using etcher on windows 7.

Switch seens holding linux for a while, after i set the low gpu profile on xTerminal, im testing every app, and checking if the black crash happens again.

I am using sandisk too on all 3 cards. Is there anyway that a sd card reader can cause a bad write etc or anything like that.

i have a doubt, its simple but i really dont know, the commands, like set gpu profile to low persists after a console shut down ? or every time do i have to do this command in order to maintain the low gpu profile ?

 

[justcallmelewis]

did you forget to write something or am i missing the point ?

 

[Deleted User]

why low profile ? does the default one not work

because it causes the black crash too often

The profile is reset to normal at each reboot.
